A powerfully diffusive fruity note reminiscent of ripe pineapple with a fresh green edge. Sweet and juicy with a slightly waxy, apple-pineapple character that gives volume to fruity accords. Persistent for a fruity ester, lingering with a soft green-fruity trail.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

Colorless, slightly oily liquid.

Solubility

Almost insoluble in water, miscible with alcohol, essential oils, perfume and flavor chemicals.

Odor

Powerful and sweet-fruity odor resembling Pineapple. Smoother and sweeter than Allyl caproate. Fruitiness similar to that of Linalyl-acetate.

Flavor

Fresh-fruity sweet Pineapple-like taste.

Uses in perfumery

Useful as a topnote ingredient in certain perfume types, also as a modifier for already existing materials: Allyl caproate, Linalyl-acetate, Methyl phenyl carbinyl propionate, Sweet Orange oil, etc.

Uses in flavor

More important in flavors: this chemical is often the chief carrier of the fruity note in imitation Pineapple, and an interesting modifier in imitation Strawberry, Raspberry, etc. A powerful fortifier in the popular 'tutti-frutti' flavor types.

Production

Produced by direct esterification of Allyl alcohol with Cyclohexanepropionic acid under azeotropic conditions.
