 | Chemical Properties | white powder |  | Chemical Properties | 2,2,2-Trichloro-1-phenylethyl acetate forms white crystals (mp 88 °C) and has a weak, very
natural, lasting rose odor. 
The ester is prepared from ??-trichloromethylbenzyl alcohol, for example,
by reaction with acetic anhydride. The alcohol can be prepared by one of the
following methods: 
1) Addition of trichloroacetaldehyde (chloral) to benzene in the presence of aluminum
chloride. 
2) Reaction of benzaldehyde with chloroform in the presence of potassium
hydroxide. 
??-Trichloromethylbenzyl acetate is a stable rose fragrancewith excellent fixative
properties. It is preferentially used in soaps, powders, and bath salts. |  | Occurrence | Has apparently not been reported to occur in nature. |  | Uses | Perfumes, fixative for essential oils and perfumes. |  | Preparation | By the reaction of benzene and chloral, in the presence of a catalyst, followed by acetylation. |  | Definition | ChEBI: Alpha-Trichloromethylbenzyl acetate is a carboxylic ester. It is functionally related to a benzyl alcohol. |  | Flammability and Explosibility | Nonflammable |  | Trade name | Rosalin (Yinghai) |  | Safety Profile | Mildly toxic by ingestion. A skinirritant. When heated to decomposition it emits toxicfumes of Clí. |
