This ester finds a place in a number of perfume compositions, particularly those where a floral and fruity note is desirable, e.g. Jasmin and Gardenia, and also in many types of lipstick perfume, where the conventional Ionone-type may need some modernization. It blends very well with the rose materials and with the lactones, and it has a pleasant influence upon Benzylacetate and other sharp smelling materials.
It is used frequently in flavor compositions, not only in strawberry, but quite widely in berry imitation flavors, tutti-frutti, caramel, treacle, butterscotch, maple-complexes, etc.
Produced from Benzaldehyde with ethyl monochloroacetate, using sodamide as condensing agent.
