Colorless or pale straw-colored, viscous liquid.

Fruity, but not distinctly sweet taste. Somewhat dry undertone.
This ester, which is comparatively rare, finds a little use in perfume compositions for its lasting, fruity character, and for its ability to blend and create pleasant blends with the Ionones, Cedarwood derivatives, Butylcyclohexanyl acetate and many other woody or Orris-like materials. It has less tendency to produce harsh topnotes than e.g. Ethyl methyl phenyl glycidate, but it does not offer any very natural fruit notes, unless accompanied by the conventional materials for such notes. It has good fixative properties for the volatile fruit esters and may round off the rough or harsh topnotes of many perfume chemicals.
Produced from para-Methyl acetophenone and Ethyl monochloro acetate by condensation, using Sodamide as condensing agent in alkaline solution.
