Appearance

Colorless, slightly oily liquid.

Solubility

Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and perfume oils.

Odor

Very powerful and diffusive, warm-floral, pungent odor, reminiscent of Hyacinth at high concentration, of Rose at proper dilution.

Uses in perfumery

This ether has found much use in floral bases on account of its power and excellent stability in soap. Its ability to make the conventional Rose materials smell more 'rosy' and Hyacinth materials smell more 'Hyacinth-like' are just a few of the many possible applications.

Production

Produced from ortho-Anisaldehyde (methylated Salicylic aldehyde) by hydrogenation, followed by reduction with Sodium methylate and Ethylation with Ethyl sulfide ether in a non-ionic solvent. Other methods start with Salicylic aldehyde, and the Methylation may be undertaken with Dimethyl sulfate, reduction by various means, the Ethylation with Diethyl sulfate.
