This ester, as such, has very little importance in perfumery. It has occurred as component in perfume specialties and bases, offering a powerful green foliage type odor. It is less gassy than the conventional acetylenic esters, but since the material is not offered as a pure, single chemical, there has been little interest in it. Recent availability of a wealth of hexenyl esters covering almost every nuance of the natural green odor has also made the title material obsolete.
Produced from methyl-iso-hexylketone via 6-methyl-n-hept-1-yne to the acid from which the ethylester is prepared.
