A bright, juicy green-fruity ester with a leafy cis-3-hexenol backbone wrapped in soft buttery-fruity butyrate character. Smells like crushed green apple skin and unripe pineapple with a fresh-cut grass edge, quickly fading to a mellow ripe-fruit sweetness.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Colorless liquid.
Almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and propylene glycol, miscible with oils.

This ester has been suggested for use in perfume compositions as a modifier for the acetate and other esters. As a green topnote material, it blends better with certain floral fragrance types, e.g. Jasmin and Ylang-Ylang, while it also gives interesting effects with strictly herbaceous odor types, where winey-green notes can support Clary Sage or other sweet-herbaceous, or tea-like notes.
Produced by esterification of cis-3-Hexenol with n-Butyric acid under azzotropic conditions.
