Expert Verdict

As an α,β-unsaturated ester (crotonate = trans-2-butenoate), it requires careful evaluation for potential Michael-acceptor reactivity. RIFM/IFRA assessment addresses this. Standard ester hydrolysis yields cyclohexanol and crotonic acid.. The (E)-isomer (trans-crotonate) is the commercially relevant form; contributes a fresh, slightly green, fruity note to fragrance compositions.
