DIHYDROTERPINYL ACETATE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Dihydroterpinyl acetate is a colorless liquid, almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils. Sp.Gr. 0.94. Fresh-piney, citrusy and somewhat herbaceous odor. Sweeter and fruitier than Terpinyl acetate, the Dihydro terpinylacetate seems to be cool and warm at the same time (minty-camphoraceous, herbaceous). Its tenacity is not very outstanding.

Occurrence

Has apparently not been reported to occur in nature.

Uses

This ester is used quite widely in perfumery, particularly in low-cost Lavender, Citrus, FougeYes, etc. for detergents and other household products, and in lower cost Colognes, room-sprays, etc. It constitutes an excellent blender for Linalylacetate, Dihydromyrcenol, lsobomylacetate and many other fresh-piney-fruity or citrusy base chemicals.

Preparation

By hydrogenation of terpinyl acetate or by acetylation of Dihydro terpineol.(Arctander, 1969; Bedoukian, 1967).
