The acute oral LD50 of rats was 2.38-3. 54g/kg, and the percutaneous LD50 of rabbits was greater than 5g/kg. Under closed conditions, the product was applied to non-damaged or damaged rabbit skin and no irritation was observed after 1 day. If a blocking skin test was performed on a human body using a 4% Vaseline preparation, no irritation was observed after 2 days.
overview | cinnamon formate chemical name is phenylpropene formate, 3-phenyl -2-propylene -1-alcohol formate, is an important fine chemical intermediate, widely used in medicine, perfume and other products. At present, the general methods for preparing cinnamyl formate mainly include: 1) direct esterification of formic acid and cinnamyl alcohol to prepare cinnamyl formate, using different catalysts (such as ammonium chloride, magnesium chloride, phosphoric acid, concentrated sulfuric acid, etc.) The yield and product quality of cinnamyl formate produced have a greater impact. The yield of cinnamyl formate synthesized by this method is low and the product quality is poor. 2) Synthesis of cinnamyl formate from sodium formate and cinnamyl chloride in the presence of pyridine. Although the synthesis process is relatively simple, but the consumption of solvent is large, the main raw materials sodium formate and cinnamon chlorine source is limited, and the raw materials and solvents used are expensive, from an economic point of view is not cost-effective. |
