An aroma chemical is a compound which is used to produce a specific smell or fragrance. Synthetic aroma chemicals are chemicals which are made in a laboratory under controlled conditions using chemical reactions. They are widely preferred since they can easily reproduce the various aromas which are found naturally. They are made from raw materials like petroleum products, coal and synthetic intermediates. Synthetic intermediates are compounds which are used as building blocks to create other chemicals. Few examples of synthetic aroma chemicals are Benzyl Acetone, Methyl Cinnamate, Phenyl Ethyl Allyl Ether, Cyclohexyl Salicylate and Ethyl Butyrate.
