Colorless liquid.
Practically insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
Warm-fruity, slightly musty-floral odor with some resemblance to Hazelnut.
This ester has been suggested for use in perfume compositions along with Oakmoss and Citrus oils. It contributes a pleasant oily-herbaceous sweetness, not unlike the odor of Hazelnut. With the conventional rose alcohols it will enhance the Rosy tone, and it may similarly enhance an Orange oil note with sweet undertones.
As a supporting note to fruit complexes and modifier in nut imitation flavors, the ester has interesting possibilities.
Produced by azeotropic esterification of n-Nonanol with n-Valeric acid.
