| Common Name | Methyl phenylacetate |

| Description | Methyl phenylacetate, also known as fema 2733 or mephaneine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzene and substituted derivatives. These are aromatic compounds containing one monocyclic ring system consisting of benzene. Methyl phenylacetate is a sweet, almond, and floral tasting compound. Methyl phenylacetate is found, on average, in the highest concentration within corns. Methyl phenylacetate has also been detected, but not quantified, in several different foods, such as cocoa and cocoa products, coffee and coffee products, fruits, and pepper (c. frutescens). This could make methyl phenylacetate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Methyl phenylacetate has a strong odor similar to honey. It is a colorless liquid that is only slightly soluble in water, but soluble in most organic solvents. It is used in the flavor industry and in perfumes to impart honey scents. This compound also occurs in brandy, capsicum, coffee, honey, pepper, and some wine. Methyl phenyldiazoacetate, precursor to cyclopropanation agents, is prepared by treating methyl phenylacetate with p-acetamidobenzenesulfonyl azide in the presence of base. Methyl phenylacetate is an organic compound that is the methyl ester of phenylacetic acid, with the structural formula C6H5CH2COOCH3. |
