This carbinol was probably developed in line with a large number of lower homologues, and the success of certain carbinols encouraged a wider search. It is not a particularly low-cost product, and it has very little odor value. Therefore, it may be reasonable to say that the material is about to become obsolete in perfumery.
Produced from Methyl nonyl ketone and Phenylmagnesium bromide in Ethylether solution (Grignard reaction).
