FEMA 3054 Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Terpinyl isovalerate has a peculiar, floral odor with a sweet, pine incense and orange undertone. It has a bitter flavor reminiscent of apple.

Uses

Terpinyl isovalerate finds limited use in perfume compositions of the Chypre, Fougere, Bruyere, “Tabac", Opopanax, Lavender and various herbaceous types. It blends very well with the Olibanum-Opopanax-Labdanum-Styrax resinoids and with heavier herbaceous materials. It is also used to a minor extent in flavour compositions, various fruit complexes, and Tobacco flavourings. The concentration in finished products is normally about 0.5 to 10 ppm.

Preparation

By esterification of terpineol with isovaleric acid.
