Perfume and Flavor Chemicals, page 526.

sweetfruitycaramellic
Appearance

Colorless or very pale straw-colored liquid.

Solubility

Almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils. Slightly soluble in propylene glycol.

Odor

Sweet and warm, rich-fruity odor with caramellic undertone. The fruity notes are rather uncharacteristic, but have some resemblance to Strawberry-Pineapple. There is also some resemblance to the odor of Ethyl phenyl glycidate.

Uses in perfumery

This glycidate has been manufactured as a member of a long line of homologues in search of new and interesting fruity odorants. However, the author finds that it is not one of the more useful members of this family, and it is most likely that the subject material will remain in the research chemical collection and never reach the commercial pricelists.

Production

Produced from Methyl-iso-butylketone via Darzen-Claisen reaction.
