CIS-3-HEXENYL BUTYRATE Usage And Synthesis

Aroma

Powerful, fruity-winey, green, Cognac-like or Brandy-like, slightly buttery-oily odor. Wincy-buttery, sweet-green and slightly fruity taste in dilutions below 5 ppm.

Uses in Perfume

Cis-3-hexenyl butyrate has been suggested for use in perfume compositions as a modifier for the Acetate and other esters. As a green topnote material, it blends better with certain floral fragrance types, e. g. Jasmin and Ylartg-Ylang while it also gives interesting effects with strictly herbaceous odor types, where wincygrccn notes can support Clary Sage or other sweet-herbaceous, ot tea-like notes.

Description

cis-3-Hexenyl butyrate has a green, fruity, somewhat buttery aroma. May be synthesized by esterification of cis-3-hexenol with n-butyric acid under azeotropic conditions.
