A powerful sulfurous-tropical material with a pungent, thiol-driven character reminiscent of blackcurrant bud, galbanum, and overripe tropical fruit. In dilution it opens up into a green, catty, fruity note with a distinct grapefruit-like bite; used in trace amounts it lends realism to cassis, guava, and passionfruit accords.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Colorless viscous oil.
Practically insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

This material may not generally be considered as a fragrance material. It was probably manufactured out of curiosity at the time when Thioglycollic acid became commercially available on a large scale for cold permanent. A few of its esters became available and some are still used in perfumes. However, the title material does not seem to offer any particularly interesting notes to a fragrance.
Produced by azeotropic esterification of Phenylethyl alcohol with Thioglycollic acid.
