The classic 'Strawberry Aldehyde' — a bright, ripe strawberry note with a candied, jammy sweetness and a faint green-leafy edge. Rich and slightly waxy in dilution, evolving into a sugary red-fruit facet reminiscent of strawberry syrup.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

Colorless oily liquid.

Solubility

Very slightly soluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Odor

Sweet caramellic-fruity, ethereal odor of moderate to poor tenacity.

Flavor

Sweet caramellic-fruity taste, weaker than EMPG.

Uses in perfumery

This ester, which could be called the reverse ester of Ethyl methyl phenylglycidate, has failed to attract interest among the perfumers and flavorists, partly because it is very rarely offered commercially, partly because most observers agree, that EMPG is superior with respect to fruity Strawberry notes.

Production

Produced from Propiophenone plus Methyl-monochloroacetate with Sodamide condensing agent (or Sodium methoxide).
