 |  | 3-Phenylpropionic acid methyl ester Usage And Synthesis |  
 | Description | Methyl 3-phenylpropionate has a strong floral-fruity odor. May be
prepared by reduction of methyl cinnamate in methanol solution
with hydrogen and Ni under pressure. |  | Chemical Properties | Clear light yellow liquid |  | Chemical Properties | Methyl-3-phenylpropionate has a strong floral–fruity odor, with honey and wine-like undertones |  | Occurrence | Reported found in tabasco peppers, grapes, rhubarb, soursop and basil |  | Uses | Methyl 3-phenylpropionate, is used as an important raw material and intermediate used in organic Synthesis, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and dyestuff. 3-Phenylpropionic Acid Methyl Ester is an ester derivative of 3-phenylpropionic acid that is sometimes present in fragrance ingredients. It is also used as an application, aromatic intermediate. |  | Preparation | By reduction of methyl cinnamate in methanol solution with hydrogen and Ni under pressure |  | Definition | ChEBI: Methyl 3-phenylpropanoate is a methyl ester resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of 3-phenylpropionic acid with methanol. It has a role as a volatile oil component, a flavouring agent and a human metabolite. It is a methyl ester and a member of benzenes. It is functionally related to a 3-phenylpropionic acid. |  | Aroma threshold values | Aroma characteristics at 1.0%: sweet, rich spicy Ceylon cinnamonlike, balsamic with fruity, resinous and
