character with a mildly herbaceous odor. May be prepared by
reaction of phenylethyl magnesium chloride with acetone.
 |  | [Chemical Properties] 
 2-Methyl-4-phenyl-2-butanol has a floral, green, fruity, linalool character and mildly herbaceous odor.
 |  | [Chemical Properties] 
 2-METHYL-4-PHENYL-2-BUTANOL is a colorless
liquid with a dry, floral, lily-like odor. It has been identified in cocoa aroma
and is prepared by a Grignard reaction of benzylacetone and methyl magnesium
chloride. It is used in blossom compositions.
 |  | [Chemical Properties] 
 Colorless or light yellow liquid
 |  | [Occurrence] 
 Has apparently not been reported to occur in nature.
 |  | [Uses] 
 2-Phenethyl-2-propanol is a useful reagent in preparation of phenyldimethylsilyl group as a masked hydroxy group.
 |  | [Preparation] 
 By reaction of phenylethyl magnesium chloride with acetone
 |  | [Aroma threshold values]
