Colorless liquid.
Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
Fresh and sweet, rosy-fruity odor of moderate to poor tenacity. More rosy than fruity, and not quite as sweet as Phenylethyl acetate.
It has a slightly burning taste in concentrations near 20 ppm, and it is bitter even below that level.
This ester has been suggested for use in perfume compositions, but it is possible that it is only very rarely used, or not used at all.
It is therefore unlikely that the material can find use in flavors.
Produced by direct esterification of Phenylethylalcohol with Methoxyacetic acid.
