Process for the manufacture of unsaturated cycloaliphatic ketones

1,3-Undecadien-5-yne and its (E) and (Z) configuration isomers are useful perfuming ingredients for the preparation of perfuming bases and a variety of perfumed consumer products, to which they impart odor characters of the galbanum, floral, fruity-citrus type.

Use of 1,3-undecadien-5-yne as a perfuming ingredient

The cyclic tertiary alcohols of formula ##STR1## wherein the dotted line indicates the location of a single or double bond, symbols R.sup.1 and R.sup.3 represent each a hydrogen atom or a methyl radical and symbol R.sup.2 stands for a lower alkyl radical, are useful perfuming ingredients for the preparation of perfuming compositions and perfumed articles, to which they impart odor notes of the patchouli type.

Cyclic tertiary alcohols and their use as perfuming ingredients

Novel hydroperoxide of formula ##STR1## and use of same as intermediate for the preparation of 3a,6,6,9a-tetramethylperhydronaphtho[2,1-b]furan, also known as AMBROX (registered tradename of FIRMENICH SA, Geneva/Switzerland). Process for its preparation via an oxidation of sclareol by means of hydrogen peroxide in the presence of an acidic agent.

Novel hydroperoxide and use of same as intermediate for the preparation

Kentones of the formula ##STR1## wherein each of the symbols R.sup.1, R.sup.2, and R.sup.3 identical or different, represent a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl radical containing 1 to 3 carbon atoms are disclosed useful as perfuming agents and in the preparation of perfume products.

Bicyclic compounds and utilization thereof as perfuming agents

Bicyclic aldehyde derivatives of formula ##STR1## containing a single or a double bond in the position indicated by the dotted lines and wherein symbol R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl radical and R.sup.2 defines a linear or branched alkyl radical containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms. Compounds (I) find specific utility as perfuming and flavoring agents. Process for the preparation of said compounds (I) starting from cyclopentadiene or a methyl substituted cyclopentadiene and an alkyl 4-oxo-butenoate.

Bicyclic aldehyde derivatives, their use as perfuming and flavoring

Bicyclic aldehyde perfuming and flavoring ingredients

Process for preparing unsaturated spiranic derivatives of formula ##STR1## wherein index n represents integer 1 or 2 and wherein symbol R defines a lower alkyl radical, starting from the corresponding cycloalkanone via an addition thereto of a dihalo-alkene of formula ##STR2## wherein symbol R possesses the above-indicated meaning and X represents a halogen atom.
