Utilisation

Uses

Other comments :

In comparison with other gourmand notes as Maltol and Ethyl maltol, Furaneol® has a more pyrogenic note, reminiscent of cooked strawberry. It also is more powerful.
Its detection threshold is very low comparing to Maltol, a few ppm for it .

Stability :

Olfactively very unstable.

Uses in perfumery :

Furaneol®makes it possible to add a burnt, sweet, jammy and gourmet note to a fruity accord. Used for strawberry and pineapple accords in particular.

Year of discovery :

''Furaneol® '' tradename has been published and protected by Firmenich SA since 31/10/1973 (brand N°402723)

Isomerism :

Furaneol® has no isomer commonly used in perfumery.

Synthesis precursor :

Furaneol® is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.

Natural availability :

Natural Furaneol® can be extracted from certain fruits and is formed by pyrogenation of some food (almond for example). In the majority of cases, it is synthetic Furaneol® that is used in perfumery.

Synthesis route :

Furaneol® can be synthesized in two main ways. Only one is exposed here: it consists firstly in an ethylation of Acetaldehyde (or ethanal), to synthesize 2,5-hexynediol. The second step is an ozonolysis of this compound in order to obtain hexane-2,5-diol-3,4-dione, which can finally be cyclized in an acid medium to give Furaneol®.
