Almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
Very diffusive, fruity-green, banana-like odor. Overall much fresher than amyl acetate, and somewhat similar to prenyl acetate.
This ester has been suggested for use in perfume compositions as part of modern top-notes, where fruity and green odors may be combined to produce or imitate top-notes of very well known market perfumes. The title ester introduces freshness and lift to herbaceous fragrance types, and brings life into lavender and similar types. It has also found some use in combination with lavandin oil for soap.
Produced by azeotropic type esterification of the alcohol with acetic acid.
