Other names :
Prenylacetate ; Vertenol acetate ; Vertenyl acetate ; 3-methyl-2-butenyl acetate ; 3-methylbut-2-enyl acetate ; 3,3-dimethyl allyl acetate ; 3,3-dimethylallyl acetate ; Isopent-2-enyl acetate
Volatility :
Head
Uses in perfumery :
Prenyl acetate is used for banana and red fruit accords, associated with floral notes to add a fruity aspect and to boost the top note.
Natural availability :
Prenyl acetate is slightly found (less than 1%) in Ylang-Ylang distillation fractions (Ylang-Ylang Extra EO for example). It can be extracted from it on a natural state.
Year of discovery :
Data not available.
Other comments :
Prenyl acetate is very close to Isoamyl acetate. Their smell is anyway different, as Prenyl acetate is less evoking banana fruit and its sweet aspect. It has a etheric smell instead.
Price Range :
€
Stability :
Esters tend to form their corresponding acid in stability.

Synthesis route :
Prenyl acetate is synthesized by an esterification reaction between acetic acid and prenol (or 3-methyl-2-butenol). This synthesis can be optimized to get a better yield, replacing acetic acid by acetic anhydride or chloroacetic acid.
Synthesis precursor :
Prenyl acetate is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactive interest.
Isomerism :
Prenyl acetate is a constitutional isomer of cis-3-Hexenyl Formate. The smell of Prenyl acetate also evokes pear fruit and has a green nuance, much less important than in cis-3-Hexenyl Formate.
