A softer, greener, more diffusive version of amyl cinnamic aldehyde — jasmine-like floral with a waxy-green, slightly herbal character. The acetal form is less pungent and more stable than the parent aldehyde, giving a rounded floral effect with a mild aromatic-herbal nuance.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Almost colorless slightly oily liquid. A yellowish tint or color usually indicates a significant content of the free aldehyde.
Almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and perfume materials.
Peculiar animal-green odor, mild and reminiscent of parts of the Jasmin complex, although not very floral unless composed with related Jasmin chemicals. The odor is strongly influenced by the presence of even minute amounts of free aldehyde.
Used quite frequently in perfume compositions as a modifier-blender for Amylcinnamic aldehyde and a fixative for the more volatile portion of the Jasmin complex. Excellent as a modifier in general in floral compositions, to introduce naturalness and 'petal-like' notes.
Used as a trace component in certain types of flavor compositions. Yet, it should be noted that this chemical is NOT stable under aqueous acid conditions.
Produced from Amylcinnamic aldehyde and Methyl alcohol by condensation.
