Uses
Uses in perfumery :
Benzyl Alcohol is used in majority as a solvent for some ingredients, even if it is rarely the case. It can also be used is some white flowers accords, to bring volatility.
Year of discovery :
Data not available.
Natural availability :
Benzyl Alcohol is found in low quantity in many natural ingredients. It is found for example in Clove Leaf EO, Damask Rose Absolute and Narcissus Absolute.
Isomerism :
Benzyl Alcohol is an isomer of para-Cresol. These two molecules, although close structurally speaking, do not have the same smell at all, much more animalic on para-Cresol part.
Synthesis precursor :
Benzyl Alcohol can be used to synthesize Benzaldehyde, by adding nitric acid to oxydize it. This oxydation can also be carried out with copper-magnesium oxide pumice. Numerous esterifications can be carried out using Benzyl Alcohol, to obtain compounds as Benzyl acetate, Benzyl Salicylate... Eventually, heating this molecule with strong acids or bases may form Dibenzyl Oxide.
Synthesis route :
Two synthetic routes can be used to obtain Benzyl Alcohol. The first one is a hydrolysis of benzyl chloride, by heating this molecule with alkaline and earthy-alkaline hydroxydes and carbonates. Up to 10% Dibenzyl Ether is also resulting from this reaction. A second route is an oxydation of toluene into benzyl hydroperoxyde. Subsequent hydrolysis synthesizes Benzyl Alcohol and Benzaldehyde. A purification can then isolate Benzyl Alcohol.

Annexe I :
Some regulated synthetic ingredients are found in nature and in certain proportions in natural ingredients. This presence in nature has to be taken into account when calculating limits of use recommended by the IFRA. In case you do not know these concentrations, you can use the ones estimated by the IFRA. Here they are :
