3,5,5-TRIMETHYL-2-CYCLOHEXEN-1-OL Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

clear colorless liquid

Uses

This alcohol has found a little use in perfume compositions, mainly in Honey-bases as a modifier and powerful ingredient. It blends excellently with Phenylacetic acid and its esters, with Mimosa, Labdanum and the conventional Acetophenone-derivatives, and it is, incidentally, very interesting in YlangYlang.

General Description

3,5,5-Trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-ol undergoes oxidation in the presence of palladium on activated charcoal under an ethylene atmosphere to yield the corresponding carbonyl compound.

Synthesis

3,5,5-Trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-ol is prepared (several methods) e. g. from isoPhorone by controlled hydrogenation. It has also been prepared from 3,3-Dimethyl cyclohexanol.
