Appearance

White crystals or colorless crystalline mass.

Solubility

Poorly soluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Odor

Almost odorless as such, but introduces a mild-herbaceous odor in compositions.

Uses in perfumery

It has a good influence upon Terpineol and Amyl salicylate in low-cost Fougeres, where it may round off the roughness of the two chemicals and produce a mellower, softer, but not less powerful composition.

Production

Produced by direct esterification of Cyclohexanol with Oxalic acid.
