Used primarily as a specialty ester in advanced fragrance formulations, this compound functions as a prodrug-type delivery system for controlled release of aroma molecules. Its unique structure allows slow hydrolysis under ambient conditions, making it ideal for long-lasting scent applications in fine perfumery and scented consumer products. The presence of the dimethylamino group enables mild pH responsiveness, enhancing performance in personal care items such as skin-activated perfumes and pH-sensitive lotions. Additionally, its lipophilic chain improves solubility in oil-based formulations without the need for extra solubilizers. It is also explored in agrochemicals for odor masking and timed-release effects in pesticide delivery systems.
