White crystalline material.
Almost insoluble in water, fairly soluble in alcohol, soluble in most oils.
Warm, spicy-haylike and very tenacious odor.
Its odor type is more anisic-fennel-like than Hydroquinone dimethylether, and less nutlike. The material blends very well with the herbaceous oils, Oakmoss, Amylsalicylate, Galbanum, etc. for Chypres, Fougeres, Lavender compositions, etc. and it has good effect as a fixative.
Produced from ortho-Toluquinone by reduction to Toluhydroquinone. The latter is treated with Dimethylsulfate in weak aqueous alkaline solution to produce the title ether.
