What is TERPINYL FORMATE?
Chemical properties
Terpinyl formate has a pleasant, floral, citrus odor with a bitter taste at high levels, becoming dry and fruity at lower levels.
Occurrence
Reported present in Ceylon cardamom essential oil.
The Uses of TERPINYL FORMATE
Terpinyl formate finds some use in Citrus-colognes, in support of Neroli notes, Lavender-Bergamot-notes, green notes, etc. It is also used in certain topnote compositions with Citrus oils and "green" materials.
Preparation
By cold formylation of terpineol, using formic-acetic anhydride (Arctander, 1969). Uses: In public use before the 1920s. Use in fragrances in the USA amounts to approximately 10001b/yr.
Definition
ChEBI: Alpha-Terpineol formate is a p-menthane monoterpenoid.
Synthesis
May be produced from d-α-terpineol and formic acetic anhydride; the racemic α-terpineol is also obtained by an analogous synthesis.
