Appearance

White or colorless crystals.

Solubility

Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Odor

Faint camphoraceous-minty odor, remotely reminiscent of Pennyroyal oil or Pulegone, yet slightly more medicinal-tarry.

Uses in perfumery

It has no interest to the creative perfumer beyond some academic interest or a possible use as an odorant for industrial masking.

Production

Produced from Heptylene glycol with Carbonyl chloride.
