| | | o-Anisaldehyde Usage And Synthesis |
| Description | O-Anisaldehyde (also 2-benzaldehyde) is found in cassia oil,
cinnamon bark, and cinnamon bark oil. It is a clear colorless
liquid with a strong aroma.
O-Anisaldehyde is used as a flavor agent in foods including
nonalcoholic/alcoholic beverages, baked goods, chewing gum,
confections, frozen dairy, fruit ices, hard/soft candy, instant
coffee, tea, Jams, jellies, and milk products. O-Anisaldehyde has
been used to examine the acaricidal activity of Periploca sepium
oil and its active component against Tyrophagus and to obtain good
enantioselectivities using Cu(OAc)(2)-bis(oxazolines) via hydrogen
bonding in asymmetric Henry reaction. | | References | [1] George A. Burdock (2016) Fenraoli’s Handbook of Flavor

[2] https://www.alfa.com/en/catalog/A10770/ | | Description | o-benzaldehyde has a faint, sweet, floral odor. It blends well with
cassia. It has a spice-like flavor, quite bitter above 30 - 40 ppm.
May be prepared from salicylaldehyde and dimethyl sulfate in weak
alkaline solution. | | Chemical Properties | Colorless to cream amber crystalline powder; sweet powdery hawthorn
guaiacol vanilla acetophenone almond aroma. | | Chemical Properties | light yellow to pale brown | | Occurrence | Reported found in Cassia oil, cinnamon bark, and Cinnamon bark oil
(Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume), Sri Lanka (0.09–0.15%) | | Uses | Intermediate. | | Aroma threshold values | Medium strength odor; anisic type; recommend smelling in a 10.00%
solution or less. | | Taste threshold values | Sweet powdery guaiacol musty vanilla floral almond taste at 50 ppm
in water. | | Synthesis Reference(s) | Journal of Heterocyclic Chemistry, 11, p. 943, 1974 DOI: 10.1002/jhet.5570110616

reported. Combustible liquid. When heated to decomposition it emits
acrid smoke and irritating fumes. |
