1(4'-methylpentyl)-4-substituted ethylcyclohexane derivatives, organoleptic uses thereof, process for producing same, and process intermediates therefor

摘要

Described are 1(4'-methylpentyl)-4-substituted ethylcyclohexane derivatives defined according to the structure: <IMAGE> wherein R3, R4, R5 and R6 are the same or different hydrogen or methyl; wherein the dashed line represents a carbon carbon single bond or a carbon carbon double bond; wherein the wavy line represents a carbon carbon single bond or a carbon carbon double bond; with the proviso that when the wavy line is a carbon carbon single bond then the dashed line is a carbon carbon single bond; wherein Y represents a moiety selected from the group consisting of: <IMAGE> (i) <IMAGE> (ii) <IMAGE> (iii) wherein H represents hydrogen, C1-C4 lower alkyl or C1-C2 acyl; and wherein R1 represents C1-C4 lower alkyl with the additional proviso that when Y is the moiety: <IMAGE>bond, and uses thereof in augmenting, enhancing or imparting aromas in or to perfume compositions, perfumed articles and colognes. Also described are processes for producing the above-mentioned 1(4'-methylpentyl)-4-substituted ethylcyclohexane derivatives as well as intermediates used in said processes.
