Cyclohexyl phenethylether derivatives, process for preparing same and uses thereof in combatting tobacco beetles and in augmenting or enhancing the aroma of perfumes, colognes and perfumed articles

摘要

Described is the genus of compounds defined according to the structure: <IMAGE> wherein R1, R2, R3 and R4 are the same or different and each represents methyl or hydrogen with the proviso that when one of R2, R3 and R4 is methyl, then the other two of R2, R3 and R4 are hydrogen which have been found to be useful in augmenting or enhancing the aroma of perfumes and perfumed articles as well as colognes and, in addition, in combatting tobacco beetles of the species Lasioderma serricorne (F.). Also described are novel processes for preparing such cyclohexyl phenethylether derivatives by reacting cyclohexene having the structure: <IMAGE> with a phenethyl alcohol derivative having the structure: <IMAGE> in the presence of an acid catalyst.
