| Common Name | Benzyl cinnamate |

| Description | Benzyl cinnamate, also known as cinnamein or fema 2142, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as cinnamic acid esters. These are compound containing an ester derivative of cinnamic acid. Benzyl cinnamate can be prepared by heating benzyl chloride and excess sodium cinnamate in water to 100–115 °C or by heating sodium cinnamate with an excess of benzyl chloride in the presence of diethylamine. Benzyl cinnamate is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Benzyl cinnamate is a sweet, apricot, and balsam tasting compound. Outside of the human body, Benzyl cinnamate is found, on average, in the highest concentration within cumins. This could make benzyl cinnamate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Benzyl cinnamate is the chemical compound which is the ester derived from cinnamic acid and benzyl alcohol. Benzyl cinnamate is a potentially toxic compound. It is used as a flavoring agent. Benzyl cinnamate is used in heavy oriental perfumes and as a fixative. Benzyl cinnamate is found in Friesodielsia velutina, Isotachis japonica, Polygala senega, Styrax benzoin and Tephrosia toxicaria. Benzyl cinnamate occurs in Balsam of Peru and Tolu balsam, in Sumatra and Penang benzoin, and as the main constituent of copaiba balsam. |
