About C11H12O2 (Ethyl cinnamate)

Ethyl cinnamate (C₁₁H₁₂O₂) is a pale yellow to colorless liquid that possesses a characteristic, pleasant aroma similar to cinnamon. It is commonly used in the fragrance industry due to its attractive scent. Additionally, it finds application as a flavoring agent in certain food products, imparting a spicy, cinnamon-like taste. In the realm of organic synthesis, ethyl cinnamate can serve as a precursor for various chemicals. Its pleasing scent and flavoring properties have also led to its use in some cosmetic products. Chemical formula: 2-(HO)C₆H₄CO₂C₂H₅

Other names: ethyl_cinnamate, C11H12O2, Ethyl cinnamate, C₁₁H₁₂O₂, Ethyl 3-phenylprop-2-enoate
