Appearance

Colorless liquid.

Solubility

Practically insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Odor

Relatively powerful, fresh-fruity, sweet odor of moderate to poor tenacity. Refreshingly sweet-green, delicately floral and very tenacious odor.

Flavor

The ether has been suggested for use in flavor compositions to support fruity notes, almost any type, but the author finds that it is not nearly natural enough, even if it may be classified as a Pineapple-Pear type.

Uses in perfumery

It has been suggested for use in perfume compositions, mainly of Muguet, Rose, Magnolia, Mimosa, and other delicately floral, floral-green or floral-woody types.

Production

Produced from Acetone and Cuminyl magnesium bromide.
