Appearance

Colorless oily liquid.

Solubility

Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Odor

Musky, but not altogether sweet odor, faintly woody-camphoraceous notes of considerable tenacity.

Uses in perfumery

The title material was developed in search of new 'macrocyclic' musks, and has had little success. Apart from the academic interest in the study of these musks, it has no longer application in perfumery.

Production

Produced from Undecamethylene glycol with Butylcarbonate and Sodium, followed by depolymerization by heat.
