Pleasant and rich, musky odor, slightly weaker than that of Tetradecamethylene carboxylate and less tenacious.
The title material has been suggested for use as a “macrocyclic musk”, but since its manufacture is more costly than that of Tetradecamethylene carboxylate, there is not much reason to prefer the title material. It may have only academic interest now, while a few of its homologies are still in use.
Produced from Tridecamethyiene glycol and Butyl carbonate with Sodium, followed by decarboxylation by heat.
