Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
Very faint, but delicately sweet and mildly woody-floral odor of outstanding tenacity.
This ester could find some use in flavor compositions, particularly in imitation Honey, and in Tobacco flavors.
This material is perfectly made for fixation of heavy florals, and as a base in delicate or very sweet floral types, such as Honeysuckle and Frangipanni. It gives interesting effects with the conventional carbinols in Lilac, and it lends a fine background in Honey bases for perfumes.
Produced from Guaiol isolated from Guaiacwood oil by reaction with Phenylacetyl chloride in an inert solvent.
