undecyl formate

Uses

Undecyl formate finds a little - probably very little - use in perfume compositions, mainly as part of topnote compositions in herbaceous fragrance types, Lavender, Fougeres, and in variations of Rose, Magnolia, etc. It is also quite interesting as supporting note to Mandarin, a very favored topnote item, but unfortunately very unstable.

Synthesis

Undecyl formate by cold formulation of Undecanol.
