| | decyl isobutyrate Usage And Synthesis |
| Physical properties | Decyl isobutyrate is colorless oily liquid.
Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and
oils.
Mild, oily-herbaceous odor of good tenacity. | | Uses | Decyl isobutyrate finds use in perfume compositions, flower bases and certain
specialties. In Rose and Jasmin, it may help
introduce part of the oily-waxy "petal"-like
note, so often wanted, and just as often missing. Tuberose, Magnolia, Gardenia, Peony, Freesia, etc. may also benefit from this ester
in trace amounts.
In Lavender, perhaps along with Coriander,
decyl isobutyrate can produce very intriguing notes,
and it has equally good effects upon YlangYlang and Labdanum. It represents just one
more example of the wealth of possibilities at
hand for the truly imaginative and daring perfumer. | | Production Methods | Decyl isobutyrate can be produced by direct esterification of n-Decanol
with iso-Butyric acid under azeotropic conditions, - or with iso-Butyric anhydride. | | Definition | ChEBI: Decyl isobutyrate is a carboxylic ester. |
