The Uses of Ethyl tiglate
Ethyl Tiglate is an aroma compound present in fruits. Also used in the synthesis of grandisol and fraganol.
Preparation
By direct esterification of tiglic acid with ethyl alcohol in the presence of concentrated H2SO4 or by reaction of bromomethylethyl acetic acid ethyl ester with dimethylaniline.

General Description
Ethyl tiglate, an α,β-unsaturated ester, is naturally found in apples. It can be prepared by the esterification of tiglic acid. Ethyl tiglate is a male-specific pheromone found in some Drosophila species that can attract both male and females. Saprochaete suaveolens grown in a culture medium has been reported to produce ethyl tiglate by metabolizing isoleucine.
