1-methyl-2(2-methylbutyl) cyclohexanol derivatives and organoleptic uses thereof

摘要

Described are the 1-methyl-2(2-methylbutyl) cyclohexanol derivatives defined according to the generic structure: <IMAGE> wherein R represents hydrogen, MgCl, MgBr, lithium or acetyl; and uses of such 1-methyl-2(2-methylbutyl) cyclohexanol derivatives where R is hydrogen or acetyl for their organoleptic properties in augmenting or enhancing the aroma of perfume compositions, colognes or perfumed articles. Also described is the process for preparing such 1-methyl-2(2-methylbutyl) cyclohexanol derivatives including the reactions: <IMAGE> <IMAGE> <IMAGE> <IMAGE> and <IMAGE> wherein the latter reaction takes place using a methane sulfonic acid catalyst.
