Plum Crotonate (also known as Pyroprunat, Bicyclopentylyl butenoate, or 2-Cyclopentyl cyclopentyl crotonate, CAS: 68039‑73‑6) is a high‑grade synthetic ester with the molecular formula C₁₄H₂₂O₂ and a molecular weight of 222.33 g/mol. This clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid is a member of the ester chemical family, synthesized to deliver a fresh, juicy, and intensely fruity scent profile.
Its distinctive odor combines the richness of plum and peach with sophisticated floral nuances of rose and violet. This multifaceted aromatic character positions Plum Crotonate as an exceptionally versatile ingredient in the fragrance industry, capable of adding depth and complexity to a wide range of applications.
Olfactory Profile & Key Characteristics
Plum Crotonate offers a medium‑strength, highly substantive odor with a longevity exceeding 64 hours on a smelling strip. Its aromatic structure can be described as:
- Fruity Core: Fresh, ripe plum and peach, with hints of jammy, dried fruits.
- Floral Facets: Elegant accents of rose and violet that create a sophisticated, fruity‑floral profile.
- Supporting Notes: Adds dark fruitiness to tobacco interpretations and underlines damascone‑like aspects.
Core Application Fields
Plum Crotonate is widely utilized as a perfuming agent and fragrance component across several key sectors:
1. Fine Fragrances & Perfumery (≈50‑60% of demand).
As a heart/base note component, Plum Crotonate is valued for its ability to create lush, fruity, and floral accords. It is used in designer perfumes and niche fragrances, particularly in gourmand, fruity, and floral compositions where its jammy character can shine. It pairs exceptionally well with rose ketones like damascenone and alpha/beta‑damascone, enriches tobacco and woody interpretations, and can serve as a modifier to enhance the diffusion and complexity of other notes. Major manufacturers like Symrise recommend use levels of 0.5‑3% in fragrance concentrates.
2. Cosmetics & Personal Care (≈20‑25% of demand).
Thanks to its stability and safety profile, Plum Crotonate is used to impart long‑lasting fruity aromas to a wide variety of products. It is a common perfuming agent in body lotions, shampoos, soaps, deodorants (roll‑on), and powders, demonstrating good to very good stability in these formulations.
3. Household & Cleaning Products (≈15‑20% of demand).
Its excellent stability in alkaline and acidic environments makes it suitable for household applications. Plum Crotonate shows very good stability in all‑purpose cleaners and good stability in citric acid‑based cleaners, adding a pleasant fruity scent to a variety of surface cleaners. However, it demonstrates poor stability in bleach formulations, which should be noted in product development.
