Abstract:
The present invention relates to new types of processes for the improved preparation of homofarnesol, in particular of (3E,7E)-homofarnesol and homofarnesol preparations with an increased content of (3E,7E)-homofarnesol (also referred to as all E-homofarnesol).
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of the ether of formula I from an amino alcohol of formula II where R1 and R2 independently from one another are hydrogen or an alkyl group with 1 to 10 C atoms, R3 is an alkyl group with 1 to 10 carbon atoms and X is a bond or a hydrocarbon group with 1 to 10 carbon atoms comprising a) protecting the primary amino group in formula II with a protecting agent b) deprotonating the protected amino alcohol obtained in step a) with a deprotonating agent c) alkylation of the anion obtained in step b) with an alkylation agent to give the corresponding ether and finally d) removal of the protecting group getting back the primary amino group and giving the ether of formula I, wherein process step b) is performed at a temperature of at maximum 120° C. and process step c) is performed at a temperature of at maximum 80° C.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to use of 2,3,6-Trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-one as aroma Ingredient. 2,3,6-Trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-one is used to impart an aroma impression which is reminiscent of animalic note, woody note, floral note, green note, minty note, dusty note, phenolic note, and/or camphoraceous note to a composition and also enhancing and/or modifying the aroma of a composition. The present invention is further directed to an aroma composition comprising 2,3,6-Trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-one and (i) at least one aroma chemical different from the 2,3,6-Trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-one or (ii) at least one non-aroma chemical carrier, or (iii) both (i) and (ii).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to 2-(2,4,5-trimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-yl)acetaldehyde and derivatives thereof, to a process for preparing said compounds, to the use of 2-(2,4,5-trimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-yl)acetaldehyde or a specific derivative thereof or of mixtures of said compounds or of a stereoisomer thereof or of a mixture of two or more stereoisomers thereof as aroma chemicals; to the use of 2-(2,4,5-trimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-yl)acetaldehyde or a specific derivative thereof for modifying the scent character of a fragranced composition; to compositions containing 2-(2,4,5-trimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-yl)acetaldehyde or a specific derivative thereof or a mixture of said compounds or a stereoisomer thereof or a mixture of two or more stereoisomers thereof; and to a method of preparing a fragranced composition or for modifying the scent character of a fragranced composition, comprising incorporating 2-(2,4,5-trimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-yl)-acetaldehyde or a specific derivative thereof or a mixture of said compounds or a stereoisomer thereof or a mixture of two or more stereoisomers thereof into said composition.
Abstract:
The presently claimed invention is directed to the use of 1-alkoxyethyl-4-isobutyl-benzene of formula (I) to impart an aroma impression to a composition. The presently claimed invention also relates to a method of imparting such aroma impression. The present invention is further directed to compositions comprising the compound of formula (I) and at least one aroma chemical as well as to compositions comprising the compound of formula (I) and at least one further component selected from the group consisting of aroma chemicals, surfactants, oil components, anti-oxidants, deodorant-active agents and solvents. The present invention also relates to a compound of formula (I′).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to biocatalytic methods, comprising purely enzymatic, mixed enzymatic-fermentative and purely fermentative methods, for the direct single-step conversion of L-fucitol to L-fucose, in order to easily obtain L-fucose at high amounts and levels of purity. Suitable recombinant microorganisms and fungi are further disclosed and also the use thereof in said method for the single-step conversion to L-fucose.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of the ether of formula I where R1 and R2 independently from one another are hydrogen or an alkyl group with 1 to 10 C atoms, R3 is an alkyl group with 1 to 10 carbon atoms and X is a bond or a hydrocarbon group with 1 to 10 carbon atoms comprising a) deprotonating the amino alcohol of formula II where R1, R2 and X have the meaning above with a metal as deprotonating agent to give the anion of formula III where R1, R2 and X have the meaning above and b) alkylation of the anion obtained in step a) with an alkylation agent to give the ether of formula I.
