Uses
Uses in perfumery :
Safranal is used in fruity notes for its characteristic note and in oriental perfumes, for the addition of a spicy and heady note.
Year of discovery :
First isolation and identification of Safranal was made in 1935.
Natural availability :
Safranal was identified in several varieties of black and green tea (see Tea Absolute Colourless). It is one of the components of the fragrant principle of saffron and is present in Wormwood EO. Nevertheless, natural Safranal is not produced for the perfume industry.
Isomerism :
Safranal is a constitutional isomer of Thymol and L-Carvone among others, but has a very different structure and smell.
Synthesis precursor :
Safranal does not synthesize other compounds of olfactory interest.
Synthesis route :
The synthesis of Safranal has always been problematic. Whatever the production method, the yield of this molecule synthesis has never been high. One of the synthesis that offers a ''good '' yield starts from alpha-cyclocitral. This compound can undergo a bromination with phenyltrimethylammonium tribromide. The obtained intermediate is debrominated to give Safranal, with a yield that is still quite low. Using beta-cyclocitral for this synthesis offers only a complex mixture of molecules, of which Safranal cannot be isolated.
