Chemistry & Uses
Uses in perfumery :
Allyl Caproate is used in pineapple and apple notes, for a ripe and sweet effect. Also used in exotic and yellow fruit notes.
Year of discovery :
Data not available.
Natural availability :
Allyl Caproate is present in pineapple and mushroom. There is also an Allyl Caproate of natural origin.
Isomerism :
Isoamyl Butyrate and gamma-Nonalactone are constitutional isomers of Allyl Caproate. Isoamyl Butyrate also has a fruity and butyric smell, but gamma-Nonalactone has a very different note of peach and coconut.
Synthesis precursor :
Allyl Caproate is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.
Synthesis route :
Allyl Caproate is prepared by esterification between Hexanoic acid and allylic alcohol (or prop-2-en-1-ol), by acid catalysis.
Stability :
May form caproic acid through time
Other comments :
