Appearance

Colorless oily liquid.

Solubility

Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Odor

Mildly green, woody-floral odor of moderate tenacity. The woody notes tend to become herbaceous upon dilution, and the green notes are rather sweet, not pungent.

Uses in perfumery

It could find use in Mimosa, Lilac, Oriental, Chypre, etc. since it blends excellently with the Ionones, Methylionones, Cinnamic and Anisic alcohol and esters, Oakmoss, newer Cyclohexanol derivatives, etc.

Production

1) from para-Cumenyl ethylmagnesiumbromide plus Ethylene oxide. 2) from Homocuminic aldehyde plus Acetaldehyde by condensation, followed by hydrogenation and reduction.
