Cis-3-hexenyl tiglate is a synthetic aroma chemical with the CAS number 67883-79-8. It is known for its green, fresh, and fruity character, often reminiscent of freshly cut grass or green apples. In perfumery, it is typically used to enhance the green notes in compositions, providing a vibrant and lively aspect to fragrances. This ingredient is commonly found in floral and fruity accords, where it can contribute to the overall freshness and complexity of the scent. While cis-3-hexenyl tiglate is valued for its olfactory properties, it is important for formulators to consider safety and regulatory aspects. As with many synthetic aroma chemicals, it may be subject to specific usage restrictions under IFRA guidelines, particularly in certain applications. Perfumers should ensure compliance with these regulations to maintain safety and consumer trust. — AI-generated summary, 2026-09-02.
A fresh, green ester with a distinctly herbal, tangy character — like crushed green leaves with a fruity edge reminiscent of unripe fruit skins and a whisper of rhubarb.

Colorless liquid.
Almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
Fresh, powerful, yet relatively tenacious deep-green foliage odor with slightly fruity-fatty undertones.
It is therefore doubtful if the subject ester will find much use in flavor compositions, except as a trace component modifier in certain fruit and vegetable flavor compositions.
This ester finds a little use in the reconstruction of various essential oils, and as part of the topnote complex in modern, green-herbaceous fragrances and as a fresh topnote element in florals and bouquets.
Produced from cis-3-Hexenol and Tiglic acid by direct esterification.
