Synthesis and odour evaluation of tricyclic ether derivatives containing a cis‐1,2‐dimethyl norbornane moiety

Abstract

Series of differently substituted tricyclic ethers have been synthesized on a multi‐gramme scale from a common cis‐1,2‐dimethyl norborane structure. Olfactory evaluation of these compounds is presented and reveals mainly woody aspects as the predominant notes. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Synthesis and odour perception of a series of highly substituted cyclohexane derivatives

“…Their odours are completely different: 2 being hesperidic and 3 aromatic‐minty, whereas the cyclic compounds are mostly fruity or woody. Only compound 1 , despite being less complex, has a woody‐aromatic odour that could be linked to the woody and/or camphoraceous tonalities found in most cyclohexane derivatives 12,13 …”
