(1S,2S,4R)-(-)-alpha,alpha-dimethyl-1-vinyl-o-menth-8-ene-4-methanol Usage And Synthesis

Aroma

Vew faint, sweet-woody odor with an almost floral undertone.

Uses in Perfume

Has been suggested for use in perfumery, but the pure material is not a common commercial article. Fractions from certain essential oils, rich in Elemol, are used as fixatives, blenders or modifiers in low cost soap Wrfumes, detergent fragrances and other household product fragrances.
Elemol-fractions blend very well with Amyns oil, Guaiacwood oil, Geraniol, Amyl salicylate, Terpineol, etc. rounding off the roughness of chemicals, and sweetening other materials. Overall, however, it is of very little odor value, and it is always a problem to use a fraction of a certain essential oil or a byproduct from same.

Definition

ChEBI: Elemol is a sesquiterpenoid that is isopropanol which is substituted at position 2 by a (3S,4S)-3-isopropenyl-4-methyl-4-vinylcyclohexyl group. It has a role as a fragrance and a plant metabolite. It is a sesquiterpenoid, a tertiary alcohol and an olefinic compound.

Production Methods

(1S,2S,4R)-(-)-alpha,alpha-dimethyl-1-vinyl-o-menth-8-ene-4-methanol can be produced by isolation from Java-type Citronella oil, usually by boration of the high-boiling fractions. Also from high-boiling fractions of Elemi oil.
