Appearance

Colorless liquid.

Odor

Sweet-fruity, but rather harsh, chemical odor with no obvious resemblance to any particular fruit.

Uses in perfumery

This ester could be preferred for certain masking purposes, but the author can see no special advantage in the aroma of this material as compared to the n-Hexyl esters for use in perfumes or flavors.

Production

Produced by direct esterification of 2-Methylpentan-5-ol with n-Butyric acid under azeotropic conditions.
