Colorless or pale straw-colored liquid.
Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
Sweet herbaceous-woody, quite powerful odor with some resemblance to the odor of beta-lonone. More diffusive, less tenacious, and not quite as floral.
This rare chemical has been suggested for use in perfume compositions where Cyclocitrylidene acetaldehyde may have been desirable, but caused trouble in being unstable (alkaline conditions, etc.).
Produced from several methods, e.g. from Cyclocitral via Grignard synthesis with Cyanogen chloride, or via the aldehyde and its oxime by treatment with Thionyl chloride or Acetic anhydride.
