O-Cresyl acetate

Liquid, nearly insoluble in cold water, soluble in hot water and organic solvents, combustible. 

O-cresyl acetate is made by acetylation of o-cresol as follows  

O-cresyl acetate has been widely used as a flavoring agent. No authentic data were available about the global demand. It is, however, believed that major manufacturers of p-cresyl acetate might be making o-cresyl acetate also as a flavor and fragrance compound. Global demand may not exceed 25-30 tpa.
