Ambiguous name — most likely a shorthand for Ethyl Methyl Phenyl Glycidate (Aldehyde C-16, 'strawberry aldehyde'), which smells of ripe strawberry jam with a slightly green, candied fruit facet and a faint waxy undertone. If instead this refers to another 'ethyl methyl' compound the character could differ significantly, so treat this profile as provisional.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

Colorless, slightly viscous liquid.

Solubility

Almost insoluble in water, poorly soluble in propylene glycol, glycerin and mineral oil, soluble in alcohol, miscible with most perfume and flavor oils.

Odor

Sweet-fruity, candy-like, warm odor with considerable similarity to that of strawberry juice or strawberry syrup.

Flavor

Sweet and distinctly fruity taste with good resemblance to strawberry and also other berry-type of fruit.

Production

Produced from methyl-iso-butylketone via 4-methyl-n-pent-1-yne to the acid from which the ethylester is prepared.
