Perfume and Flavor Chemicals, page 896.
Almost colorless or slightly yellowish oily liquid.
Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
Light and warm-woody, floral and at the same time Ambregris-like odor of moderate tenacity.
The material finds limited use in flavor compositions, mainly in berry or fruit flavors, and in floral types.

Produced by condensation of Citral with Methyl ethyl ketone, followed by cyclization.
