Appearance

Colorless mobile liquid.

Solubility

Slightly soluble in water, soluble in alcohol and in most oils.

Odor

Very diffusive, ethereal odor, reminiscent of Dipropyl ether and Propyl formate.

Flavor

Its flavor does not describe any fruit, it is simply ethereal and rather weak, yet quite sweet.

Uses in perfumery

Has been suggested for use in perfumes and flavors, but its very low boiling point causes considerable problems for its use in perfumes, except perhaps in a few cases where an ethereal topnote resembling that of 'aged' alcohol is desirable.

Production

Produced from Chloromethyl methylether plus Sodium propoxide.
