A powerful green-fruity aromachemical with a crisp, waxy pear-skin character and a leafy, slightly metallic edge reminiscent of violet leaf and unripe melon. Diffusive and bright on top, drying down to a cleaner green nuance.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Colorless liquid.
Powerful green foliage odor, less pungent and less sharp than the Methyl heptin carbonate, and not as fatty, overall more oily, yet pleasant.
Finds some use in perfumery, although always in extremely low concentration, as a modifier for lower alkyl heptin or alkyl octin carbonates, not only for Violet fragrances, but also for other florals, such as Narcisse, Tuberose, Gardenia, etc.
Produced from Octyne via Octyne sodium with iso-Amyl chloroformate to form the ester.
