Химические свойства

Allyl (3-Methylbutoxy)acetate is a colorless liquid of strong, fruity galbanum odor with pineapple modification. It can be prepared by reaction of chloroacetic acid with isoamyl alcohol in the presence of sodium hydroxide and a phase-transfer catalyst, then treating the resulting sodium amylglycolate with allyl alcohol. Allyl amylglycolate is used in fragrance compositions, for example, for detergents.
