Appearance

Colorless liquid.

Solubility

Almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Odor

Powerful, sweet-fruity odor, more ethereal-diffusive than Amyl acetate, sweeter, but overall resembling that ester in odor. The background appears almost Oriental-animal or Ambra-like.

Flavor

Intensely sweet taste, more powerful than that of Amyl acetate and richer than Amyl butyrate. It blends well with Amyl acetate and butyrate.

Uses in perfumery

Finds some use in perfumery, mainly in Chypre, Ambre, Oriental compositions, and it blends well with Patchouli, Myrrh, Opopanax, Laddanum, Jasmin, etc.

Uses in flavor

Finds some use in flavor compositions, mainly for imitation Apple, Pineapple, Peach, etc., and in 'Juicy-fruit' and similar complexes.

Production

Produced by direct esterification of Cyclohexanol with iso-Butyric acid.
