Appearance

Colorless oily liquid.

Solubility

Practically insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Odor

Fresh, floral-green odor of moderate to good tenacity. The floral notes are predominantly Lily-Muguet-like, while the green notes resemble Watermelon rind. The material displays a distinctly balsamic undertone.

Uses in perfumery

The material has most of the prerequisites for becoming a large-volume, commonly used fragrance chemical. It blends very well with Lilac materials, Muguet (carbinols and rose-alcohols), Styrax and Methylionones, and with Amyicinnamic aldehyde.

Production

Produced from (many methods) e. g. from para-iso-Butylbenzaldehyde by condensation with Propionaldehyde under alkaline conditions, followed by selective hydrogenation of the unsaturated aldehyde to the title material.
