A Simple Synthesis of 9-Ketodihydro-α-damascone

The compounds, 9-keto-8,9-dihydro-damascones or damascenones, are used as the ingredients in the production of perfumes and aromas. Since these compounds are able to be converted into damascones and damascenones. 9-keto-8,9-dihydro-α-damascone [2,6,6 -trimethyl-1-(1,3-dioxobutyl)cyclohex-2-ene] (I) may be considered as a precursor of α-damascone. Until now, (I) and its analogues were synthesized by the multistep reactions.

Chemical Characterization of Vanilla pompona Scheide, Part II

Vanilla pompona is resistant to climate change and diseases, and therefore is preferred for hybridization with V. planifolia. Its chemical characterization was carried out in a series of experiments, described in this second of four parts.

Naturals: The Case for Natural Personal Care Standards

The growth in natural and organic personal care products has resulted in a need for logical, practical and achievable standards. Conventional wisdom would tell us that the name of a product and the ingredients used to make that product are meaningful and truthful as reflected on the product label. But the fact is labeling cosmetics often depends entirely on the manufacturer.

Chemical Characterization of Vanilla pompona Scheide, Part I

In this four-part series, researchers extensively study the composition of Vanilla pompona for fragrance applications. Here, existing literature on V. pompona is reviewed and compared with V. tahitensis and V. planifolia. Test protocols for GC-MS and DTD-GC-MS are described, and some results are discussed.

Creativity and Research A New Compatibility

Looking at maps like these is a fairly imprecise thing. These maps are averages and general, but what we have the ability to do for the perfumer is to make use of the reference set. We can show this map but really not as our last word on the subject, but as our first advice about a general direction.
