A sharp, penetrating amine odor with a distinctly fishy, ammoniacal character. In extreme dilution it can lend a warm animalic nuance reminiscent of skin or trimethylamine-type notes, but neat it is aggressive and unpleasant.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

Almost colorless or very pale straw-colored liquid.

Solubility

Soluble in water, miscible with alcohol. Soluble in some oils, but not in all.

Odor

Warm-herbaceous-animal, in dilution exotic, nauseatingly floral odor of poor tenacity.

Uses in perfumery

This material, much sweeter and heavier in odor than Methyl pyrrole, has found limited use in perfume compositions as a trace ingredient in certain types of exotic floral or Oriental-floral-woody fragrance.

Production

Produced by hydrogenation of N-Methylpyrrole over Adams’ catalyst.
