Toxicity | The acute oral LD50 in rats was reported as 1.02 g/kg (0.9-1.14 g/kg) (Moreno, 1973). The acute dermal LD50 in rabbits was reported as 2.5 g/kg (0.5-3.0 g/kg) (Moreno, 1973). |
colorless liquid. It has a fragrant and spicy taste similar to that of Ji fennel. Slightly soluble in water, and ethanol, ether can be miscible.
obtained by catalytic hydrogenation of chloraldehyde in the presence of active nickel. Alternatively, it is prepared by catalytic condensation of p-cumene and paraformaldehyde in the presence of hydrogen chloride.
It is used as a perfume, can be used in food and cosmetics, and is also used as a perfume intermediate. In ice food and soft drinks dosage of 0. 47~11mg/kg; Baked food and candy for 33~35mg/kg. In daily chemical products, used as soap flavor, detergent flavor, perfume flavor, cream flavor, etc.
The acute oral LD50 of the fire rat was 0.98-1. 14 g/kg, and the percutaneous LD50 of the rabbit was 0.5-3. Under closed conditions, the substance was applied to normal or injured rabbit skin for 24h with moderate irritation. 4% of the Vaseline preparation in human closed skin contact test after 48h, does not produce irritation.
