Utilisation

Uses

Other comments :

Majantol® structure is close to Dimethyl Benzyl Carbinol. Its smell is less aldehydic and aqueous. Majantol® also has olfactive similarities with Lyal® and Hydroxycitronellal®, although it is more aqueous than theses molecules.

Stability :

Aromatic compounds are chromophorous. This means that they may color through time and in contact with alkaline bases.

Uses in perfumery :

Majantol® enters the floral-aldehydic molecules category, including Lilial® and Bourgeonal™ for example. It is used as it is slightly less regulated, for lily of the valley and other white flower notes, for a light effect, in association with other molecules as Hedione® or Florol®. It also brings a fresh nuance.

Year of discovery :

Patent N°3,531,585 (DE) published on Sept. 4, 1985 by Elektrochemisch Industrie GmbH

Isomerism :

Majantol® has a methyl group associated to carbon n°3 of its aromatic cycle, on a meta position. Molecules having this groupment on an ortho or para position are not used in perfumery, although they are isomers of Majantol® Phenoxanol® is a constitutional isomer of Majantol®, having a more rosy and green note.

Synthesis precursor :

Majantol® is not a precursor for the synthesis of another material used in perfumery.

Natural availability :

Majantol® is not reported as found in nature, and can thus not be extracted from any plant.

Synthesis route :

Majantol® can be prepared in two steps, starting with 3-methylbenzyl chloride, reacting it with 2-methylpropanal, in the presence of a catalysor as tetrabutylammonium iodide. An aldehyde is obtained and can be reducted, reacting with sodium tetrahydruroborate, to obtain the final product.
