This ester, usually marketed under trade names, finds use in perfume compositions, mainly soap perfumes of the floral or floral-Oriental type. It is inexpensive and stable, non-discoloring, and sufficiently mild that large proportions can be used without the appearance of dominating or unpleasant notes. It seems to improve the Lilac effect of Terpineol and it can link it pleasantly to Dimethyl benzyl carbinol or related materials. It is not confined to Lilac compositions, and Hydroxy-citronellal or Cyclamenaldehyde, or even the rose alcohols may blend with this ester into quite a wide range of other floral fragrance types.
Produced from para-Tolyl Magnesium bromide plus Ethylene chlorhydrin followed by Acetylation of the alcohol.
