Application
Methyl 2-nonynoate (CAS 111-80-8) is a high-purity alkynoate ester with a powerful, fresh green, violet leaf, and cucumber-like odor, complemented by fruity and fatty undertones. It is widely used as a fragrance ingredient in fine perfumery, colognes, soaps, shampoos, and laundry detergents to impart a natural green, leafy character. In the flavor industry, it serves as a flavoring agent (FEMA 2725) adding fresh cucumber and violet notes to beverages, confectionery, chewing gum, and dairy products.
