What is HEXYL TIGLATE?

The Uses of HEXYL TIGLATE

Hexyl tiglate finds a little use in perfumery as ingredient in novel green type topnotes and in fresh smelling 'natural' or 'outdoor' odors for Colognes and sprays. lts main use is, however, in flavor compositions, where it may introduce freshness to fruity and green-fruity compositions of many types. It gives richness to Apple flavor and Apricot or Mango, it supports the ethereal and light notes in Gooseberry and Strawbemy, and it lends a natural “skin’’-aroma to Plum flavors, etc. For the skilled flavorist, this ester is a material with a multitude of possibilities.

Synthesis

Hexyl tiglate is prepared by direct esterification of n-Hexanol with Tiglic acid under azeotropic conditions.
