Application
1. Phenylacetic Acid is a flavoring agent that is crystalline (white, glis- tening), with unpleasant, persisting odor resembling geranium leaf and rose when diluted. it is soluble in most fixed oils and glycerin, slightly soluble in water, and insoluble in mineral oil. it is obtained by chemical synthesis. it is also termed a-toluic acid.
2. It can be directly used in low-or-middle-level soap, cosmetics essences. It is usually to confect the substitute for civetta with indole quinoline type and used in acacia, sweet-scented osmanthus, rose, hosta and other floral essences.
3. Phenylacetic Acid is used in the synthesis of Diclofenac and its metabolite 4'-Hydroxydiclofenac, which is the principal human metabolite of Diclofenac.
