Solubility

Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Odor

Pungent, herbaceous, ethereal, but sweet and warm odor of moderate to poor tenacity.

Uses in perfumery

This ester has been suggested for use in perfume compositions for its powerful lift and warm, ethereal character, blending excellently with Geranium, Lavender, Spike Lavender, etc. for detergent perfumes and similar type fragrances.

Production

Produced by ester exchange reaction from Nonyl acetate and Methyl methacrylate. The methacrylates are unstable at elevated temperatures.
