Cyclopentene derivatives and their use as odorants.

摘要

The two lower boiling diastereomers of (E)-3-methyl-5-(2,2,3-trimethylcyclopent-3-en-1-yl)pent-4-en-2-ol are novel odorants possessing a very intense creamy, woody, musk, sandalwood odor and are valuable ingredients for use in fragrance compositions for its musk and sandalwood-like qualities. The mixture of its diastereomers is more intense than any of the campholenic aldehyde derivatives that have been previously reported.
