Uses in perfumery :
Isopropyl Myristate is a solvent commonly found in perfume concentrates because it is used to dilute certain raw materials that are too viscous or pasty.
For stability reasons, Isopropyl Myristate is the most suitable candle and 100% natural candle base solvent. It can also be used in perfume concentrates for shower gels, shampoos, creams, body and hair oil and in dishwashing liquids.

Synthesis route :
Originally, Isopropyl Myristate is synthesized by an esterification reaction between myristic acid and isopropanol. This reaction requires a very large excess of isopropanol (15 times greater than the acid amount) and an acid catalysis in the presence of sulfuric acid, for example. Today, many synthetic routes are being developed to make this synthesis greener. These methods are always esterification reactions, but they use a cleaner biocatalysis, multiple reactors including enzymes and dehydrating substances, to shift the equilibrium of the reaction and obtain a purer MIP, while recycling the remaining reagents.
Synthesis precursor :
Isopropyl Myristate does not interfere with the synthesis of another perfume compound.
