Use
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.
