Sweet, somewhat floral odor, remotely reminiscent of Vanilla, but much weaker than Ethyl vanillin and also weaker than Vanillin.
This aldehyde was developed in line with many other derivatives of Protocatechu aldehyde in search of better and more true-to-nature Vanilla chemicals.
A process similar to the making of Vanillin from Guaiacol uses ortho-Ethoxyphenol to be condensed with Chloral. The condensation product is oxidized with Potassium hydroxide in Methanol and subsequently acidified to liberate the Ethylvanillin. The product is usually purified by distillation under vacuum with heated condensers (about 80° C).
