What is cis-3-Hexenyl tiglate?

Chemical properties

(Z)-3-Hexenyl (E)-2-methyl 2-butenoate has a fresh, green, floral, fruity odor

The Uses of cis-3-Hexenyl tiglate

Cis-3-Hexenyl tiglate finds a little use in the reconstruction of various essential oils, and as part of the topnote complex in modern, green-herbaceous fragrances and as a fresh topnote element in florals and bouquets. Its aroma differs substantially from that of the saturated ester, which is not at all green but very warm-herbaceous and winey, resembling notes in Roman Chamomile oil. It is, therefore, doubtful if the subject ester will find much use in flavour compositions except as a trace component modifier in certain fruit and vegetable flavour compositions.

Production Methods

Cis-3-Hexenyl tiglate is produced from cis-3-Hexenol and Tiglic acid by direct esterification.

Aroma threshold values

Aroma characteristics at 1.0%: green, earthy vegetative with mushroom and radish nuances

Taste threshold values

Taste characteristics at 1 to 5 ppm: green vegetative mushroom with herbaceous and fatty nuances.
