Utilisation

Uses

Uses in perfumery :

Salicylaldehyde is used in warm, almond and coumarinic notes.

Year of discovery :

Data not available.

Natural availability :

Salicylaldehyde is found naturally in small quantities in Ceylon Cinnamon EO.

Isomerism :

The ortho and meta positional isomers of Salicylaldehyde are little used in perfumery, although they also have a bitter almond, very hot, balsamic and sweet smell.

Synthesis precursor :

Salicylaldehyde is the main precursor to Coumarin synthesis by a Perkin reaction with acetic anhydride. It can also form a Schiff base by reaction with Methyl Anthranilate or Indole for example.

Synthesis route :

Salicylaldehyde is synthesized by a Reimer-Tiemann reaction, reacting phenol with potash and chloroform. Then, the aldehyde function implants in the ortho position with respect to the alcohol function.
