N-HEXYL METHYL ETHER Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Colorless, clear liquid; sweet, herbal, lavender, fruity aroma. Odor and/or flavor used in agate, basil, camphor, lavender, oregano, etc

Occurrence

Reported to be found in Lavandin oil Abrialis (0.06%) and Lavandin oil Grosso (0.05%)

Uses

Apart from very occasional application in certain fresh topnotes, N-Hexyl methyl ether finds mostly its place in masking odors and industrial fragrances. Its peculiar type of green note has tempted some perfumers to use it in Jasmin and other florals, but it seems that competition from many new "green" materials is far too strong.

Definition

ChEBI: Methyl hexyl ether is an ether.

Aroma threshold values

Herbal-type, medium strength odor; recommend smelling in a 10.0% solution or less

Flammability and Explosibility

Flammable

Synthesis

N-Hexyl methyl ether's synthesis method: 1) by dehydration of Methanol plus Hexanol. 2) from Hexyl chloride plus Sodium methylate.
