Appearance

Colorless oily liquid.

Solubility

Almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Odor

Sweet and somewhat woody-floral odor of rather nondescript character, vaguely reminiscent of Rose, but with a chemical-woody undertone and considerable tenacity.

Uses in perfumery

Subject material has been suggested for use in perfume compositions as a modifier in woody-floral soap perfumes on account of its stability and good tenacity.

Production

Produced from alpha-alpha-Dimethyl-alpha-para-methoxyphenylethylene oxide. It can also be prepared from the corresponding glycol.
