Utilisation

Uses

Uses in perfumery :

Dimethyl Octenone is used in grapefruit notes and in fruity notes to bring a minthy nuance and depth. Also used in buchu or mint notes to bring a slightly zesty note.

Year of discovery :

Data not available.

Natural availability :

Dimethyl Octenone is not found in nature.

Isomerism :

Dimethyl Octenone has an asymmetric carbon, giving rise to two possible enantiomers for this molecule. Nevertheless, the ingredient used in perfumery is a mix of the enantiomers of the molecule. Dimethyl Octenone is also a constitutional isomer of Linalool and Geraniol, among others, meanwhile it doesn't have the same smell as its isomers used in perfumery.

Synthesis precursor :

Dimethyl Octenone is not used for the synthesis of another molecule used in perfumery.

Synthesis route :

Dimethyl Octenone can be synthesized by an alkylation reaction engaging diethyl ketone and prenyl chloride.
