Colorless liquid.
Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
Sweet and refreshing, herbaceous-citrusy odor of moderate to poor tenacity.
This ester was only recently made commercially available and almost immediately found a place in artificial essential oils, Lavandin, Bergamot, etc. Its fruity notes resemble the odor of Bartlett pear (preserved) and the material shows great versatility in use. As a modifier for all types of herbaceous fragrances, including Clary Sage, and in combination with Oakmoss and Styrax it gives new and attractive tonalities and pleasant freshness. It blends equally well with Labdanum products, Phenylethyl esters, Citronellol and esters, etc.
The title material could undoubtedly find use in flavor compositions if it were made permissible. It is not listed in the American G.R.A.S. list yet (Sept. 1968).
Produced by Acetylation of Ocimenol. The process is not very simple and the yield of acceptable material rather poor. Accordingly, the ester is relatively expensive.
