Appearance

Colorless oily liquid.

Solubility

Almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Odor

Powerful, sweet, herbaceous and slightly woody odor of moderate tenacity.

Uses in perfumery

For the same reason probably, this ether has hardly found any sort of application in perfumery. It is rarely offered commercially from the manufacturers of perfume chemicals, and it is absent from most perfume laboratories.

Production

Produced by Ethylation of para-iso-Propyl-phenol (= Australol) isolated from Eucalyptus polybractea oil. The material can also be prepared synthetically from Magnesium para-iso-propyl phenylbromide by air oxidation followed by Ethylation with Diethyl sulfate in weak aqueous alkali.
