This is probably one of the least interesting Acetals of Hydroxycitronellal. Its lack of power and of distinctly different or unusual notes will probably put this material back into oblivion or at least on the research shelf. It has, in the author’s opinion, no mission in the perfume laboratory.
Produced by condensation of Hydroxycitronellal and iso-Butanol.
