Methyl phenylacetate(Cas 101-41-7) Usage

Description

Methyl phenylacetate is an organic compound that is a clear, colorless liquid and the methyl ester of phenylacetic acid. It has the structural formula C6H5CH2COOCH3 and is slightly soluble in water but highly soluble in most organic solvents.

Synthesis and Preparation

Methyl phenylacetate, an organic compound with the structural formula C6H5CH2COOCH3, can be synthesized through hydrolysis and esterification from phenylacetonitrile. Methyl phenylacetate can also be produced from benzyl cyanide through acid hydrolysis in the presence of methanol. Benzyl cyanide is derived from benzyl chloride, an industrial chemical.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Methyl phenylacetate is an organic compound with a strong honey-like odor that has many uses. Methyl phenylacetate is the starting material in manufacture of synthetic perfumes.

Safety Profile

Moderately toxic by ingestion and skin contact. A skin irritant. Combustible liquid. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. See also ESTERS.

Enantiocomplementary preparation of (S)- and (R)-mandelic acid derivatives via α-hydroxylation of 2-arylacetic acid derivatives and reduction of α-ketoester using microbial whole cells

Forty one microorganisms belonging to different taxonomical groups were used to carry out the enantioselective reduction of methyl benzoylformate to afford the corresponding (R)-methyl mandelate, with moderate to high ee. In contrast, the monooxygenase enzyme in Helminthosporium sp. CIOC3.3316 catalyzed the hydroxylation of methyl 2-phenylacetate to (S)-methyl mandelate. This combination of oxidation and reduction biotransformations thus provides a method for preparing the enantiomers of chiral α-hydroxy acid derivatives.
