What is DIHYDROTERPINYL ACETATE?

Chemical properties

Dihydroterpinyl acetate is a colorless liquid, almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils. Sp.Gr. 0.94. Fresh-piney, citrusy and somewhat herbaceous odor. Sweeter and fruitier than Terpinyl acetate, the Dihydro terpinylacetate seems to be cool and warm at the same time (minty-camphoraceous, herbaceous). Its tenacity is not very outstanding.

Occurrence

Has apparently not been reported to occur in nature.

The Uses of DIHYDROTERPINYL ACETATE

This ester is used quite widely in perfumery, particularly in low-cost Lavender, Citrus, FougeYes, etc. for detergents and other household products, and in lower cost Colognes, room-sprays, etc. It constitutes an excellent blender for Linalylacetate, Dihydromyrcenol, lsobomylacetate and many other fresh-piney-fruity or citrusy base chemicals.

Preparation

By hydrogenation of terpinyl acetate or by acetylation of Dihydro terpineol.(Arctander, 1969; Bedoukian, 1967).
