Colorless liquid.
Almost insoluble in water (decomposes slowly), soluble in alcohol and oils.
Peculiar dry-musty, leafy-green, but overall mild and rather sweet odor. Traces of free aldehyde will naturally change the odor picture significantly.
Produced from Hexyl aldehyde with Methanol in presence of a dehydrating agent, e.g. small amounts of dry hydrogen chloride.
