Description and Uses

p-Isopropylbenzyl alcohol has an intense, persistent, caraway-like odor and an aromatic, burning taste. Prepared from cuminaldehyde with H2 or NH3 under pressure in methanol solution and in the presence of Raney Ni catalyst; or by catalytic reduction of methyl p-isopropy lbenzoate.

4-Isopropylbenzyl alcohol is occasionally used in perfume compositions for its natural and warm-herbaceous-spicy effect, perceptible in the topnote and often through the dryout. Also used in the artistic duplication of certain floral notes, such as Mimosa and Cassie, particularly in connection with Methylionones. Finds some use in flavor compositions, mainly Berry, Fruit, Spice and Liquor flavors. The concentration in the finished product will normally be about 0.5 to 35 ppm.
