N-Ethyl-N-(3-Methylphenyl)-Propanamide(CAS#179911-08-1)

Introduction

ALICATE is a chemical substance, with the chemical name dimethyl 3-carboxybenzodioxacyclopentane. ALICATE is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It has good solubility and can dissolve in various organic solvents such as ethanol and dimethylformamide. ALICATE is mainly used in organic synthesis as an amide-activating reagent. It can react with amines to form amides and serves to activate the amines in the reaction. The preparation of ALICATE mainly involves two steps. Cyclopentadione is reacted with methanol to obtain dimethyl cyclopentanedione (MeCOC(Me)CO). Then, the dimethyl cyclopentanedione is reacted with anhydrous formic acid to produce ALICATE. It is a flammable liquid and poses an explosion risk when exposed to fire or high temperatures. ALICATE may irritate the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Appropriate protective equipment should be worn during handling to avoid skin and eye contact, and ensure good ventilation. When disposing of waste, local environmental regulations should be followed.

Application
N-Ethyl-N-(3-Methylphenyl)-Propanamide (CAS 179911-08-1) is a synthetic aromatic amide with a pleasant, sweet, floral, and slightly fruity-amber odor profile. It is primarily used in the fragrance industry as a substantive scent ingredient in fine perfumery, colognes, body lotions, shampoos, and soaps, where it provides excellent longevity on skin and fabrics. This compound adds a warm, creamy, and slightly powdery nuance to floral and oriental accords, often serving as a fixative to blend top and base notes. It is also utilized as an intermediate in the synthesis of other specialty aroma chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. Its unique amide structure offers good stability and solubility in various cosmetic formulations. In industrial applications, it functions as a plasticizer or additive in coatings and polymers. High-purity grade ensures consistent performance in sensitive olfactory and chemical processes.
