Synthesis route :

Ethyl Vanillin synthesis can follow a similar pathway to Vanillin synthesis, starting from Guaethol rather than Guaiacol. A first step consists in reacting Guaethol with glyoxylic acid, at room temperature, in a basic medium and with a slight excess of Guaethol. A catalytic air oxidation of the intermediate product, followed by a decarboxylation in an acidic medium, releasing CO2, allows to obtain Ethyl Vanillin.

Synthesis precursor :

Ethyl Vanillin may undergo acetalization reactions in the presence of various alcohols or diols. It can also undergo esterification reactions in the presence of carboxylic acids.

Isomerism :

Ethyl Vanillin does not have any isomer used in perfumery.

Natural availability :

Ethyl Vanillin is not available in its natural state.

Allergens :

This ingredient does not contain any allergen.

Uses in perfumery :

Ethyl Vanillin is used in vanillic and fruity notes, often in association with Vanillin, in smaller proportions, as it is a more powerful product.

Other names :

3-ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, bourbonal, ethavan, ethovan, 3-ethoxy protocatechualdehyde, 2-ethoxy-4-formyl phenol, 3-ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, 3-ethoxy-4-oxidanylbenzaldehyde, ethyl protal, ethyl protocatechualdehyde-3-ethyl ether, ethyl protocatechuic aldehyde, ethylprotal, ethylprotocatechuic aldehyde, ethylvanillin, 4-hydroxy-3-ethoxybenzaldehyde, quantrovanil, rhodiarome, rhodiascent, vanirome

Other comments :

Ethyl Vanillin has a more artificial and foody aspect than Vanillin. It is however very used in perfumery.
