Uses
Uses in perfumery :
Muscone® is used in fine fragrance for musky, floral and animalic notes and in reproductions of natural musk.
Gives an interesting powdery-violet effect in leather and woody perfumes.
Year of discovery :
Discovered in 1905 but the molecular structure was first identified in 1925.
Natural availability :
Muscone® was originally found in natural musk, extracted from the Tibetan goat. Nowadays, only synthetic Muscone® is produced.
Isomerism :
This compound has an asymmetric carbon that gives rise to two possible enantiomers with a similar smell. There is also a molecule called Nor-Muscone® (or Exaltone), which has no branching. Its smell is roughly equivalent to classic Muscone®.
Synthesis precursor :
Muscone® is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.
Synthesis route :
Muscone® is a macrocyclic musk that can be synthesized in many ways. One of them is from Citronellal to synthesize diacetyldodecane, which is the widespread method. This compound is cyclized by a ruthenium catalysis, followed by a catalytic hydrogenation to obtain the final Muscone®.
