Chemical Properties

1,1-Dimethoxy-2,2,5-trimethyl-4-hexene is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a fresh, fruity, citrus grapefruit-peel-like odor. It has not been found in nature. It is prepared by reaction of 2,2,5-trimethyl-4-hexenal (fromisobutyraldehyde and prenyl chloride) with methanol in the presence of calcium chloride.
Due to its alkali stability, it is used in citrus compositions for soaps and detergents.
