Ethyl-2-naphthylether is a chemical compound that is derived from 2-naphthol . The phenol ether is used as a fragrance in the perfume industry .

properties

The colorless crystals of ethyl 2-naphthyl ether are not soluble in water, slightly in propylene glycol , but readily soluble in many in organic solvents such as ethanol and carbon disulfide . The enthalpy of formation is −134 kJ mol −1 , the enthalpy of combustion is −6303 kJ mol −1

Manufacturing

The preparation may be by means of the Williamson's ether synthesis from Natriumnaphtholat with bromoethane or diethyl sulfate with ethanol, and as well as the reaction of 2-naphthol sulfuric acid carried.

use

Ethyl-2-naphthylether has an odor of orange blossom and - when strongly diluted - a taste of strawberries. Therefore the ether is widely used in perfumery and cosmetics . In foods such as baked goods, chewing gum, beverages, puddings and sweets, the flavor is used in concentrations between 0.1 and a maximum of 16.4  ppm . The permitted daily dose ( "ADI" , in the USA "FEMA PADI" ) is 2.56 mg / day. Total consumption in the USA in 2001 was around 5 tons, mainly as an odorous substance in soaps and detergents, cosmetic products and perfumes; In 2004, only 3 kg were used as a flavoring in foods.
