Chemical Properties |
Colorless liquid; odor suggestive of bergamot and lavender. Soluble in five or more volumes of 70% alcohol; slightly soluble in water and glycerol. Combustible. |
Chemical Properties |
The enantiomers and
the racemate occur in many essential oils (e.g., Siberian pine-needle oil and
cypress oil), but generally not as the main component. Pure ??-terpinyl
acetates are colorless liquids with a fresh bergamot–lavender odor.
Commercially available terpinyl acetate consists mainly of ??-terpinyl
acetate, but also contains a number of other isomeric compounds such as
??-terpinyl acetate. It can be prepared by acetylating the terpineol mixture obtained
from terpin hydrate, using a customary procedure for tertiary alcohols. |
Uses |
Perfumes, flavoring agent. |
Safety Profile |
Mildly toxic by ingestion. Combustible liquid. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. |
