Description
Allyl acetoacetate (CAS 1118-84-9, EC 214-269-9) is a synthetic organic ester also known as allyl acetylacetate, allyl 3-oxobutanoate, and NSC 24280. It carries no assigned E-code and belongs to the organic acids category with the molecular formula C7H10O3.
In food and flavour applications, allyl acetoacetate functions as a flavouring agent where its reactive beta-ketoester structure contributes fruity, herbaceous top notes at low use concentrations. In pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations, it serves as a reactive intermediate and carrier solvent, enabling controlled ester exchange reactions during active ingredient synthesis or delivery system preparation.
Allyl acetoacetate is supplied as a technical or flavour-grade liquid, subject to REACH registration requirements for EU market supply. Procurement quantities are available in standard drum and IBC formats. Buyers should confirm FCC compliance where food-grade certification is required for flavour or nutrition applications.
