CLEAR COLOURLESS LIQUID | [Description]
Isopulegyl acetate has a sweet, mint-like odor. Isopulegyl acetate
may be synthesized by prolonged heating of citronellal with acetic
anhydride (with or without sodium acetate). | [Uses]
The title material is used in perfume compositions as a freshener in Rose, Geranium,
Oriental, Lavender, Fougere, etc., particularly
in soap where its powerful “lift” is appreciated. The ester is also used in flavor compositions,
mainly Berry- and fruit types, at the rate of
5 to 25 ppm in the finished product. | [Preparation]
by cyclization of the Acetate (-enolacetate) obtained from Citronella] and Acetic
anhydride. The enol-acetate is an intermediate
in the process of making Isopulegyl acetate. |
