Appearance

Almost colorless or pale yellowish crystals, or pale yellowish liquid.

Solubility

Poorly soluble in alcohol, miscible with essential oils and most perfume chemicals.

Odor

Peculiar sweet-medicinal odor, reminiscent of Anise, Estragon, etc. with a herbaceous-minty note, quite tenacious.

Uses in perfumery

Could find some use in perfumes and flavors, if it were made commercially available.

Production

Can be produced synthetically via the ketone Capillin made from Benzaldehyde plus Pentadiyne, followed by oxidation. Also from Phenylacetaldehyde plus Methyl-ethylketone followed by dehydration.
