Musk Alcohols

The purpose of the research described herein is to investigate the odors of some alcohols which might otherwise be expected to be musky were it not for their possession of that particular functional group.

The Musk Dilemma

Musk aroma chemicals represent a very important class of constituents of fragrance compounds. This family of aroma chemicals has been one of the most controversial from the safety concerns of some nitro-musks, to the biodegradation of polycyclic musks (PCMs).

Cycloheptadecanone from Dimethyl Octadecanedioate via a One-Step Catalytic Process

Although the reaction was not studied, it does establish that a one-step conversion of the long chain diesters to the cyclic ketone containing one less carbon atom can occur. It opens the possibility to simpler processes for the preparation of macrocyclic ketones.

Radical Addition of Acetone to Alkenes: Two Short Routes to Muscone

(–)-3-Methylcyclopentadecanone, known as muscone (Figure 1 [1]) is the principal odorous constituent of the musk deer gland. It represents a benchmark of musk odor that is in great demand for perfumery use.

Resettling Musk Deer: New Promise to Increase Musk Output

As long as need remains strong for musk, the successful resettlement of musk deer will he a blessing not only for the animafs and their raisers, but also for the users—the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries.

Musks: The Choices

I would like to summarize the various possibilities, considerations and choices that are open to perfumers when they create fragrances that are safe for today’s market, including a brief description of the versatility and functionality of the various musks, as well as the safety of these ingredients.

2-Furyl Methyl Ketone

2-Furyl methyl ketone works well in a wide range of brown, nutty, fermented and savory profiles, but also is very helpful well outside these categories. Here, columnist John Wright reviews several applications for it, including in fruit flavors.

Rose Ketones: Celebrating 30 Years of Success

Celebrating 30 Years of Success

Raspberry Ketone

It has a berry, sweet, woody odor; a raspberry, ripe, jammy, seedy character; and a fruity, berry, raspberry and blueberry flavor with seedy, cotton candy nuances.

Decoding an exotic botanical close to home.

Musk Aroma Chemical Industry

In this article we highlight some of the overall findings from the study which we believe is the first to be done on this branch of the fragrance industry. For further details, including specific data on producer/consumer countries and companies, the reader is referred to the complete study.

Musks in perfumery

Today a lot is known and understood. Nevertheless, this field continues to present a challenge for research workers interested in the chemistry and olfactive properties of musk compounds.

Rose Ketones: Celebrating 30 Years Of Success

Can you remember life before the rose ketones? Can you remember what rose reconstitutions used to smell like before the rose ketones were available? Probably not. And if you can, you probably weren’t too impressed with them

Natural and Synthetic Musks in Perfumery

The natural musk has been replaced by synthetically prepared isolates and other diverse, less expensive aromatic cbemicals. It has been a long way from the first synthetic nitro musks at the beginning of this century to the macrocyclic musks and various categories of newer synthetic musks.

In Search of Nascent Musks ... or Not!

in this paper, I would like to convey our work at Union Camp and Bush Boake Allen in musk-related research over the past 15–20 years. The story takes us from innovative process chemishy on the two major polycyclic musks of our time into new, more powerful polycyclic musks, and back again into process research

Cyclialkylation of aromatics with isoprene Musks to herbicides

The indan derivatives which contain only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are unique herbicides, and we are hopeful that they will partly fill the present day need for harmless biodegradable pesticides.

Odor Characteristics of Aliphatic Metameric C-13 Ketones, Alcohols and Their Derivatives

In natural environments, only the tridecanone isomer with the carbonyl group in position 2 has been found to exist. Tridecan-2-one occurs as a flavor component in many raw materials originating from plants or animals, and is produced in multi-step oxidative enzymatic transformations of fatty acids present in them.
