Chemistry & Uses
Uses in perfumery :
Hexyl acetate is used as a top note to green apple, pear and banana accords. Useful for faceting floral notes as jasmine accords.
Year of discovery :
Data not available.
Natural availability :
Hexyl acetate is one of the most common natural compounds present in fruits and it can be extracted from Lavender EO.
Isomerism :
Hexyl acetate does not have any isomer used in perfumery.
Synthesis precursor :
Hexyl acetate is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.
Synthesis route :
Hexyl acetate is an ester obtained by an esterification of acetic acid or acetic anhydride with Hexanol in the presence of an acid catalyst.
Stability :
acetates may form acetic acid through time. Hexyl acetate is particularly unstable.
Other comments :
Hexyl acetate is more jasmine-like and less green than cis-3-Hexenyl acetate, and less rosy than Heptyl acetate.
