Colorless oily liquid.
Almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
Sweet woody, somewhat spicy and warm odor of moderate tenacity. The fruity notes resemble Cherry — milder and sweeter, less pungent than Benzyl acetate, also less floral.
Sweet fruity taste reminiscent of Banana and Cherry.
This material is mainly used in flavor compositions (the para-isomer is more commonly used in perfumes). It finds application in imitation Cherry, Pear, Banana and other fruits, in Tutti-frutti and other fruit complexes, etc.
Produced from meta-Tolylchloride (which contains some para-isomer) with aqueous alkali under reflux, followed by esterification of the alcohol.
