Colorless or very pale yellowish liquid.

This chemical has been suggested for use in 'Cuir de Russie' type fragrances or other types of 'Leather' odors, from time to time so popular, lately in the 'Men's fragrance market'.
Produced from meta-Cresolmethylether plus tso-Butylchloride by condensation, using Aluminum chloride.
