Appearance

Colorless oily liquid.

Solubility

Almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Odor

Sweet and powerful Rose-like odor of good tenacity. The type is mainly green-balsamic with some resemblance to Hydratropyl alcohol, yet more rosy and powerful.

Uses in perfumery

This ester has been suggested for use in Rose bases for general use in perfume creation. It lends power and sweetness of a more pleasant character than the Phenylacetic acid members do, and it presents an interesting and novel note for experimental Rose bases. It gives good effects in Cassie bases, and it can be used quite widely in floral and powdery perfume types.

Production

Produced by methylation of salicylalcohol followed by esterification with acetic acid under azeotropic conditions.
