What does 6-Methylcoumarin smell like?

Sweet coconut-vanilla coumarinic note, creamier and more lactonic-gourmand than coumarin itself. Prohibited by IFRA for fragrance use due to photoallergy; its tonka, hay and dessert applications survive only in flavors.

Every regulatory join - IFRA, GHS, allergens - is by CAS number, and a material can supply one through its constituents as well as its own row, so of the 569 materials carrying no CAS number the 244 without a constituent table are the ones that return "nothing known" rather than "nothing applies". The blotter hours are sourced rather than measured by us, and the app labels every one of them an estimate. There is no physical chemistry on a row: no molecular weight, no vapour pressure, no boiling point. The longer answer, or the whole catalog counted.
