This ester has found quite extensive use in perfumery, and it is still surprising to see many perfume laboratories without that material on hand. It has been available from many different suppliers for several decades, it is classified as a comparatively low-cost item, and its odor type should place it among the most frequently used materials for daily use in fragrances for household products, soaps, detergents, room sprays, etc. where volume is involved.
The ester finds also use in flavor compositions for imitation fruit flavors, tutti-frutti, etc. partly acting as a fixative.
Produced by azeotropic esterification of Phenylcellosolve with iso-Butyric acid.
