| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Uses]
Methylheptylether has found a little use in perfumery as a modifier in fresh-green notes, particularly in topnote compositions for herbaceous or green-floral fragrances types. It blends favorably with Lavender, Bayberry-notes, Fougeres, etc. and it can be blended into Apple-type bases or compositions. It has the advantage of being quite powerful and stable in soap or powders, but it requires solid fixation. | [Synthesis]
Methylheptylether is prepared from n-Heptylchlokide plus Sodium methoxide in Methanol solution. |
