This 'carbinol' acetate is not one of the more popular or common ones. It finds a little use in perfume compositions, mainly in Chypre or Fougére types, novel fantasy types, aldehydic-mossy types, etc. It is occasionally used in better soap perfumes, where its stability and solid undertones come to good effect.
Produced by direct esterification of the carbinol with acetic acid under azeotropic conditions.
