Colorless liquid.
Almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol, propylene glycol and oils.
Sweet-green, yet fresh and slightly tea-like odor. In higher concentration also reminiscent of violet leaf.
In flavor compositions, this ester adds freshness and fruity-green aroma to imitation raspberry, apricot, melon, plum, and in floral and violet type flavors.
The subject ester could find use in perfume compositions, but it is rarely mentioned as a perfume material. It introduces interesting nuances in fruity-green topnote complexes for Chypre or Aldehyde-types, and it can be used as a modifier in 'Cucumber' odor, sometimes called for in certain cosmetic preparations. It blends excellently with Clary Sage and with the new American Mentha citrata oils (Todd + 664 in particular).
The concentration used is normally very low, about 0.5 to 3 ppm in the finished product.
Produced by direct esterification of n-Heptanol with n-Butyric acid under azeotropic conditions.
