Appearance

Colorless liquid.

Solubility

Insoluble in water, miscible with alcohol and oils. Soluble in Propylene glycol.

Odor

Fruity, fatty-green and slightly floral odor with pleasant, leafy undertones. The delicate, leafy notes resemble those found in Applerose or Hiprose. Some observers find an earthy-green or mushroom-like note.

Flavor

In flavor compositions, traces are used for imitation Banana, Berry, Melon, Pear, Pineapple, etc.

Uses in perfumery

This acetate finds some use in perfume compositions, mainly as part of the topnote complex for Rose bases or other florals, also in green floral or foliage-green notes in non-floral bases. It lends a pleasant freshness even to Citrus compositions and blends equally well with Geranium oil, etc.

Production

Produced by direct esterification of n-Heptanol with Acetic acid under azeotropic conditions, or with Acetic anhydride.
