Introduction

6-Methylcoumarin (6-Methylcoumarin) is an edible spice that is allowed to be used in my country's GB2760-2014 (National Food Safety Standard for the Use of Food Additives), No. S1182. It has a coconut-like fragrance and is mainly used to prepare coconut, Flavors such as vanilla and caramel.

White crystalline solid. Has a coconut-like fragrance. The boiling point is 303°C (99.66kPa), the melting point is 73-76°C, and the flash point is 67.2°C. Soluble in benzene, hot ethanol and non-volatile oil, insoluble in hot water.

●  GB 2760-96 stipulates that the edible spices are allowed to be used. Mainly used to prepare flavors such as coconut, vanilla and caramel.

●  For organic synthesis, perfumery and cosmetic formulation

●  used as a spice

●  For organic synthesis intermediates and spices. This product is a permitted edible spice specified in GB 2760-86 in my country, and is mainly used to prepare coconut, vanilla and caramel flavors.

●  By the role of p-cresol and fumaric acid derived. Preheat 72% sulfuric acid to 80 °C, add a mixture of fumaric acid and p-cresol, keep the reaction at 160-170 °C for 3-4 hours, cool, pour into crushed ice to precipitate a precipitate, and filter. The filtrate was extracted with benzene, and after adding benzene, the obtained crude product was subjected to vacuum distillation to obtain 6-methylcoumarin.

●  It is obtained by heating and decarboxylation of 6-methylcoumarin-3-carboxylic acid at 300-340 °C.
It is formed by the condensation of p-cresol disulfonic acid and fumaric acid in the presence of sulfuric acid.
The lactone is formed from the condensation of p-bromosalicylaldehyde with malonic acid in the presence of aniline followed by heating.
It is formed by the action of salicylaldehyde with propionic anhydride and sodium propionate.
