Appearance

Colorless liquid.

Odor

Peculiar herbaceous-fruity odor, softer than Amylsalicylate, slightly more fruity, not as harsh. A faint undertone of 'Wintergreen' character.

Flavor

Fruity-herbaceous taste, reminiscent of Grape, Wintergreen, Banana and Pineapple.

Uses in perfumery

This ester could find some use in perfumery, but it does add a certain amount of hazard in that both components (acid and alcohol) are harmful to the human skin.

Uses in flavor

It is doubtful whether this chemical will find use as a food flavor.

Production

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