Description

Ethyl-2-Phenylglycidate is a high-value aromatic ester widely recognized for its organoleptic properties. This compound is a key intermediate and flavoring agent, prized for its ability to impart sweet, fruity, and honey-like notes. It is essential for manufacturers in the flavor and fragrance (F&F) industry, as well as for pharmaceutical synthesis where it serves as a versatile chiral building block.

Application

• Flavor & Fragrance Formulations: Primary use as a flavoring agent to create and enhance strawberry, honey, and caramel notes in food, beverages, and confectionery.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Acts as a crucial chiral synthon in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for drugs with complex stereochemistry.
• Aroma Chemical Production: Serves as a starting material or intermediate for the synthesis of other high-value aroma chemicals and perfumery compounds.
• Food Grade Additives: Used in the production of food-grade flavorings compliant with FCC (Food Chemicals Codex) and other international food safety standards.
• Research & Development: Utilized in organic chemistry R&D for studying epoxide reactions and developing new synthetic methodologies.
• Cosmetic Ingredients: Incorporated into cosmetic and personal care products to provide a pleasant, long-lasting fragrance profile.

Quality Control

Our Ethyl-2-Phenylglycidate is produced under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC/HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets the stringent requirements of the flavor, fragrance, and pharmaceutical industries. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation and to minimize degradation.
