Description

2,3-Xylyl Acetate is an aromatic ester derivative of 2,3-dimethylphenol, valued for its unique organoleptic properties and role as a versatile chemical intermediate. This compound is particularly significant for its ability to impart specific woody, floral, or fruity notes, making it a key component in advanced fragrance and flavor formulations. It serves the needs of manufacturers in the fragrance, flavor, fine chemical synthesis, and specialty solvent industries.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Ingredient: Used as a building block or modifier in the creation of complex aromatic profiles for perfumes, cosmetics, and food flavorings.
• Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a precursor in the synthesis of more complex molecules for pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and dyes.
• Specialty Solvent: Employed in niche applications requiring a high-boiling, aromatic solvent for resins, polymers, or coatings.
• Research & Development: Utilized in laboratory settings for organic synthesis and as a reference standard in analytical chemistry.

Quality Control

Our 2,3-Xylyl Acetate is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific test results are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and maintain product integrity. Recommended storage temperature: 15-25°C.
