Colorless or pale yellowish oily liquid.
Sweet-woody, rather heavy odor, resembling that of bera-lonone. More fruity than really floral, but not as tenacious as the lonone.
Suggested for use in perfume compositions, but since it does not offer any new or unusual odor characteristics, and it cannot be produced in economical competition to deta-lonone, there is little or no chance that it will ever become a standard shelf ingredient for the perfumer.
Produced from beta-Cyclocitral and Acetaldehyde by condensation.
