Colorless oily liquid.
Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol, miscible with oils. Poorly soluble in propylene glycol.
Fruity, but very mild and oily odor of considerable tenacity. To some people it appears virtually odorless.
Very faint, fruity-oily taste.
Finds little or no use in perfume compositions, except occasionally as a solvent for oakmoss concrete.

Produced by direct esterification of n-butanol with sebacic acid under azeotropic conditions.
