Abstract
Esters of 1,2,3,6-tetrahydrobenzyl alcohol have been found to exhibit powerful odorous notes such as floral, woody and fruity notes, rendering such compounds valuable as fragrance materials either alone or in compositions. These 1,2,3,6-tetrahydrobenzyl alcohol esters are prepared by reacting 1,2,3,6-tetrahydrobenzyl alcohol with an appropriate organic acid.
