Benzyl Alcohol Description
Phenylcarbinol is also known as benzyl alcohol. Its density is 1.045 g/mL at 25 ° C (lit). Benzylalcohol is one of the simplest fatty alcohol containing phenyl. It can be seen as benzene substituted by hydroxymethyl, or methyl alcohol substituted by phenyl. It is a colorless transparent sticky liquid with faint aroma. Sometimes benzyl alcohol is placed for a long time, it will smells like bitter almond flavor because of oxidation. Polarity, low toxicity and low steam, so it is used as alcohol solvent. It is combustible, and slightly soluble in water (about 25ml of water soluble 1 gram of benzyl alcohol).It is miscible with ethanol, ethyl ether, benzene, chloroform and other organic solvents.
Benzyl alcohol mainly exists in the form of free or ester in essential oil, such as jasmine oil, ylang-ylang oil, jasmine oil, hyacinth oil, sesame oil, hyacinths balsam, peru balsam and tolu balsam, which all contain this ingredient.

Benzyl Alcohol Function and Usage
Benzyl alcohol can be used as preservative of ointments, desiccant of fibers, nylon and plastic film, stabilizer of PVC, photographic developer, solvent of acetate fiber, inks, coatings, paints, epoxy paints, dyes, casein, gelatin, shellac and the like, and intermediate to prepare the benzyl esters or ethers.
It also can be used to prepare spices and flavorings (mostly benzyl alcohol ester of fatty acids), which can be used as additive of soaps, perfume, cosmetic and other products. Since the quartz and wool fibers have almostsame refractive index,
it can be used to identificate them. In addition, it is used as fixative and diluent inperfume industry. The hydroxy of benzyl alcohol is very lively. It can react with benzene to generate diphenyl methane, and with acrylonitrile to generate N- benzyl acrylamide (Ritter reaction). It also can react with phosphorus halide and halogen acid to generate benzyl halide. Benzyl halide and benzyl alcohol are benzylation (phenylmethyl) reagent. It can be used as benzyl-protecting group for carboxylic acid and alcohol hydroxy. Benzyl-protecting group can be removed by hydrogenation easily.
In addition, benzyl alcohol can also be easily oxidized to benzoic acid by a variety of oxidants. If nitric acid is used, it can be oxidized to aldehyde or acid with different concentration and temperature.
Benzyl Alcohol Applciation:
1). Benzyl alcohol can be used as raw materials and fixatives of spice, pharmaceutical raw materials and anesthetics, preservatives, coloring additives, coatings and solvent of inks. It also can be used to make ballpoint oil.
2). It can be used as chromatographic analysis reagent. And it also can be used in organic synthesis.
3). It can be used for the preparation of sesame oil, drugs and the like. It also can be used as the solvent and fixatives of spice.
4). Benzyl alcoholexists in many fragrant essential oils. Then it can be used as condensing agent with benzyl acetate in jasmine, gardenia, lilac, ylang-ylang, tuberose, hyacinth, acacia and other floral type. It has the fixative effect too. It is often used as the solvent to dissolve artificial musk and other spices. In addition, it can be used as food spices inedible flavor, like cherries, grapes, honey, orange, raspberry, walnut, vanilla.
5). Benzyl alcohol is the edible spice that is temporarily allowed to use. It is mainly used in almonds, oranges, cherries, grapes, strawberries and other fruit-based flavor. The dosage of benzyl alcohol is as the normal production needs. It is usually 1200mg/kg in the chewing gum, 220mg/kg in baked foods, 160mg/kg in cold drinks, 47mg/kg in the candy, and 15mg/kg in soft drinks.
6). Benzyl alcohol is a very useful fixative. It is the indispensable spices to allocate jasmine, polianthes tuberosa, ylang-ylang and other flavorings. It can be used to prepare soaps and daily cosmetics flavorings. But benzyl alcohol can be naturally and slowly oxidized. Part of benzyl alcohol will be oxidized to benzaldehyde and benzyl ether, which makes commercial products with almond scent. It should not be stored for a long time. Benzyl alcohol is widely used in the production of industrial chemicals. It can be used as coating solvent, photographic developer, PVC stabilizer, medicine, solvent of synthetic resin, solvent of vitamin B injection, preservative of unguent or liquid. It also can be used as desiccant of nylon, fiber and plastic film, solvent of dye, cellulose ester and casein, intermediate to prepare benzyl esters or ethers. Meanwhile, it is widely used as pen oil, paint solvent, etc.
7). GB 2760--1996 stipulates that benzyl alcohol can be used as food spices temporarily. It also can be used as fixative agent and grease solvent. As spices, it is mainly used for the preparation of berries, nuts and other flavors.
8). It can be used in organic synthesis. It can be used as solvent of gelatin, casein (heat), cellulose acetate and shellac and the like, microscope embedding material. It also can be used to determinate the contents of vitamin B12.
