Almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
Mild, warm-rosy and floral, refreshingly Muguet-like and tenacious odor.
Delicate, fruity-green taste in concentrations below 5 ppm.
This higher homologue of one of the most exquisite of all the carbinols is used in perfume compositions, but on account of its relatively high cost, it is more or less reserved for finer cosmetic fragrances and handkerchief perfumes.
Its power is also demonstrated in flavors, where traces of about 1 ppm are quite perceptible with warm-fruity notes.
Produced from Phenylethyl magnesium bromide plus Methyl ethyl ketone in a Grignard type reaction.
