Abstract:
The present invention relates to the synthesis of intermediate compounds which can be used in the synthesis of mint lactone and related compounds, including 3,6-dimethylhexahydrobenzofuran-2-ones, isomers, and other derivatives.
Abstract:
The invention relates to substituted delta-lactones as well as to processes for synthesizing them, e.g., using fatty acids as starting material.
Abstract:
The present application relates to the preparation of cyclohexyl-alkyl carbinols, including 1-(cyclohex-3-en-1-yl)-2-methylpropan-1-ol, which possesses a minty aroma that can be described as fresh, invigorating, and menthol-like, and also possesses cooling properties. The use of cyclohexyl-alkyl carbinols as readily accessible and cost effective fragrance, flavor, and cooling ingredients, and potential applications thereof is also described.
Abstract:
The invention relates to polyethers, polyamines, and polythioethers, as well as to processes for synthesizing them, e.g., using olefins as starting material.
Abstract:
The invention relates to terpene-derived compounds, such as acids, esters thereof, produced by ozonolysis of terpenes, and to alcohols, amides, nitriles derived therefrom, as well as to processes for synthesizing them. Specifically, 2,3,7-trimethyloct-6-en-2-ol, 2,3,7-trimethyloct-7-en-2-ol, or a mixture thereof, produced by Grignard reaction of a terpene derived carboxylate with methyl magnesium bromide is disclosed.
Abstract:
The application relates to macrocyclic compounds and related polymers, as well as to processes for synthesizing them, e.g., using olefins as starting material.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods for safe and efficient use of hydrogen and oxygen in ozonolysis operations. The invention also relates to an ozonolysis process involving elements of both reductive and oxidative ozonolysis which are integrated in a continuous process. In one embodiment, the ozonolysis process of the present invention uses hydrogen and/or oxygen generated from water and electricity, which may be recycled to generate water and/or electricity.
