This ether condenses with glyoxylic acid to give the corresponding mandelic acid derivative, which by oxidation and decarboxylation, gives Ethyl Vanillin.
As a flavorant, Ethyl Vanillin is about three times as potent as vanillin and is used in the production of chocolate.

The molecule revolutionized both the design and aesthetics of olfactory art; artist Jacques Guerlain added a large quantity of it to a bottle of Jicky perfume, creating the main accord for the perfume house's flagship fragrance, Shalimar. 
This is one of the earliest uses of synthetic molecules that freed scent artists from the limits of natural materials
Ethyl Vanillin is an artificial molecule, it does not appear in nature naturally, whereas vanillin does. 

It also happens that Ethyl Vanillin is a lot stronger in flavour than vanillin. 
Therefore, when using Ethyl Vanillin even less of the molecule is required to get the same intensity of vanillin flavour.
Ethyl Vanillin is a fine powder with three times more potency than Vanillin and offers a more concentrated flavor profile in order to provide sweet, pure and rich creamy notes of vanilla.

Ethyl Vanillin is the primary chemical component of the extract of vanilla bean. 
Natural Ethyl Vanillin extract is a mixture of several hundred compounds in addition to vanillin. 
Artificial Ethyl Vanillin flavoring solution of pure vanillin, is usually of synthetic origin. 

Synthetic Ethyl Vanillin are used as flavoring agents in foods, beverages, and pharmaceuticals. 
Ethyl Vanillin (3-ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde; EVA, Fig. 1) is more expensive and has a stronger flavor. 
Ethyl Vanillin has an ethoxy group (-O-CH2CH3) rather than a methoxy group (-O-CH3). 

The largest single use of Ethyl Vanillin is for flavoring. 
Ethyl Vanillin is first synthesized from eugenol found in oil of clove and afterward synthesized from lignincontaining sulfite liquor, a by-product of wood pulp processing in paper manufacture. 
While some Ethyl Vanillin is still made from lignin waste, today most synthetic vanillin is synthesized in a two-step process from the petrochemical precursors: 

-vanillin 
-Ethyl Vanillin

Ethyl Vanillin, being the world’s most popular flavoring materials, finds extensive applications in food, beverages, perfumery and pharmaceutical industry. 
With the high demand and limited supply of vanilla pods and the continuing increase in their cost, numerous efforts of blending and adulteration in natural vanilla extracts have been reported
Ethyl Vanillins odor resembles that of vanillin but is approximately three times as strong. Ethyl Vanillin can be prepared by method 2 as described for vanillin, using guethol instead of guaiacol as the starting material.
Ethyl Vanillin has an intense vanilla odor and sweet taste. 

The flavoring power is two to four times stronger than vanillin. 
Ethyl Vanillin has been used in food since the 1930s; it enhances fruity and chocolate odor impression. 
Ethyl Vanillins addition is self-limiting, as too high a level may impart an unpleasant flavor in the product; the product is not stable. 
In contact with iron or alkali, it exhibits a red color and loses its flavoring power.

Ethyl Vanillin is a flavoring agent that is a synthetic vanilla flavor with approximately three and one-half times the flavoring power of vanillin. 
Ethyl Vanillin has a solubility of 1 g in 100 ml of water at 50°c. 
Ethyl Vanillin is used in ice cream, beverages, and baked goods.

PREPARATION:

From safrole by isomerization to isosafrole and subsequent oxidation to piperonal; 
The methylene linkage is then broken by heating piperonal in an alcoholic solution of KOH; 
Finally the resulting protocatechualdehyde is reacted with ethyl alcohol. 
From guaethol by condensation with chloral to yield 3-ethoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl trichloromethyl carbinol; 
This is then boiled with an alcoholic solution of KOH or NaOH, acidified, and extracted with chloroform to yield Ethyl Vanillin.

REACTIVITY PROFILE:

Protect from light 
Aldehydes are readily oxidized to give carboxylic acids. 
Aldehydes can react with air to give first peroxo acids, and ultimately carboxylic acids. 
These autoxidation reactions are activated by light, catalyzed by salts of transition metals, and are autocatalytic (catalyzed by the products of the reaction). 
The addition of stabilizers (antioxidants) to shipments of aldehydes retards autoxidation.

PHARMACEUTICAL APPLICATIONS:

Ethyl Vanillin is used as an alternative to vanillin, 
-i.e. as a flavoring agent in foods 
-beverages 
-confectionery 
-pharmaceuticals 

Ethyl Vanillin is also used in perfumery.
Ethyl Vanillin possesses a flavor and odor approximately three times as intense as vanillin; 
Hence the quantity of material necessary to produce an equivalent vanilla flavor may be reduced, causing less discoloration to a formulation and potential savings in material costs. 
However, exceeding certain concentration limits may impart an unpleasant, slightly bitter taste to a product due to the intensity of the Ethyl Vanillin flavor.

Ethyl Vanillin is unstable in contact with iron or steel, forming a redcolored, flavorless compound. 
In aqueous media with neomycin sulfate or succinylsulfathiazole, tablets of Ethyl Vanillin produced a yellow color. 
Ethyl Vanillin is a phenolic compound substituted to form Ethyl Vanillin. 

As the name suggests, it is a fine white or yellowish crystalline powder. 
Ethyl Vanillin can be considered a synthetic vanilla flavor. 
Ethyl Vanillin has slightly more potent vanilla flavor than vanillin alone.

USE AND BENEFITS: 

Flavors are very helpful in cosmetics, just like in other categories like bakery, dairy or confectionary. 
In cosmetics, they can be used to mask the disagreeable odor from any of the ingredients or to provide a uniform scent to the product. 
The fragrance is a factor because of which people may want to use the same product over and over, to get the same effect at the same time and look and feel fresh. 

Ethyl Vanillin also has a soothing property for the skin. 
So, when it is applied to mildly irritated skin, it can show a soothing or calming action. 
Ethyl Vanillin is used in all kinds of skincare preparations, hair care preparations, makeup related preparations, and toiletries.
Ethyl Vanillin (C9H10O3) is a fine white or sometimes slightly yellow crystalline needle or colorless flakes. 
Two key industries that use Ethyl Vanillin are flavoring and perfumery, with flavoring being the primary way that most of the general population comes into contact with the product.

ABSORPTION, DISTRIBUTION AND EXCRETION:
Urinary excretion of radioactivity was rapid and more than 94% of the dose was excreted by this route within 24 hr. 
Only 1-5% of the dose was excreted in faeces. 
After 5 days, more than 99% of the administered dose was excreted. 
No radioactivity was detected in expired air, indicating that the aromatic ring was in a metabolically stable position.

METABOLISM/METABOLITES:
A healthy adult male volunteer drank a 235 ml aliquot of a liquid dietary supplement containing an unknown quantity of Ethyl Vanillin. 
A concentration of 13 mg ethyl vanillic acid/g creatinine was found in a 12-hour urine sample. 
The compound was not present in urine collected before exposure.

Ethyl vanillic acid was identified by GC/MS in the urine of a 9-year old female patient who had received liquid dietary supplementation flavored with vanilla. 
Other patients excreting this acid were also known to have consumed foodstuffs flavored with Ethyl Vanillin. 
Eight different urine samples containing more than 50 mg ethyl vanillic acid/g creatinine were also found to contain small amounts of vanillylmandelic acid. 
Unchanged Ethyl Vanillin was not detected in any of the urine samples.

During urinary organic acid profiling in human subjects, several patients excreted high concentrations of ethyl vanillic acid (3-ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzoic acid) and traces of 3-ethoxy-4-hydroxy- mandelic acid.
Early reports indicated that Ethyl Vanillin was probably metabolized to glucuroEthyl Vanillin and ethyl vanillic acid, of which some was conjugated with glucuronic and sulfuric acids.
