The title ester is very rarely used in perfumery, but it does have some advantage over the conventional acetylenic esters in that it is fresher, sweeter and more powdery than most of its relatives. The ester has found a little use in Cassie, Mimosa, Oriental bases and variations of violet fragrances, but the latter type perfume is, contrary to repeatedly published statistical results, certainly not among the most popular fragrance types. It may give very attractive and generally acceptable results as a secondary base.
Produced from methyl-n-hexyl ketone to octyne, then to the acid, from which the n-Propylester is prepared by conventional methods.
