Colorless, slightly viscous liquid.
Almost insoluble in water, miscible with alcohol and oils.
Very faint, sweet-herbaceous, winey-fruity odor.
An emulsion of the title material in water at 1000 ppm has only a very faint, mildly fruity-winey, berry-like odor and a mild, nondescript taste.
Its use in perfumery is very limited, because the perfumer has already a fairly wide choice of solvents at his disposal, while the flavorist has but very few.
Small amounts of the title ester are used in fruit flavors, mostly as blending note.
Produced from Citric acid, via the Tributyl-ester and by Acetylation to the title material.
