Appearance

Colorless liquid.

Solubility

Practically insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Odor

Powerful, sweet and fruity odor of moderate tenacity. The fruity notes are rather nondescript, or they may be classified as remotely resembling Raspberry-Banana type.

Uses in perfumery

The title ester could introduce very pleasant nuances in lipstick perfumes, and its power and fruity character would make it suitable for perfumes in functional products including a masking problem (hairsprays, hair setting lotions, shampoos, etc.).

Uses in flavor

This ester has been suggested for use in flavors, but it appears that this and many related esters are not widely used for such purpose, one of the reasons probably being the regrettable confusion surrounding the description and nomenclature of these chemicals.

Production

Produced by esterification of Amyl alcohol with Cyclohexane acetic acid.
