DODECYL FORMATE Usage And Synthesis

Aroma

Mild, green-fruity, somewhat floral, Honeysuckle-type odor, also resembling Lindenblossom and Lily.

Uses in Perfume

Finds a little use in perfumery as a modifier for the Acetate, and in itself for its fresher, greener note and greater power.
Dodecyl formate imparts quite interesting and pleasant notes in Tuberose and Narcissus, Lily, Hyacinth bases, etc. and it blends excellently with the conventional alifatic aldehydes.

Physical properties

Colorless, oily liquid. B.P. 280°C. Sp.Gr. 0.88. Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Production Methods

Dodecyl formate can be produced by esterification of Dodecanol with Formic acid and Acetic anhydnde.
