N-PROPYL PELARGONATE Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Physical properties

Practically insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils. Winey-fruity, Melon-like odor with a mildly fermented note and moderate to poor tenacity.

Uses

N-Propyl pelargonate is probably not used in perfume compositions. Its taste is rather uninteresting, except perhaps as a modifier in Brandy, Melon, Apple and various green-fruity, fresh flavor types. Its contribution to the overall aroma does not justify any extensive experimenting with this ester.

Production Methods

N-Propyl pelargonate can be produced by azeotropic esterification of n-Propanol with Nonanoic acid.
