Novel organoleptic compounds and their use in flavor and fragrance compositions

A compound represented by Formula VI:

• wherein
• R12 is a C1-C4 alkyl group;
• R13 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, a C1-C4 alkyl group optionally containing a hydroxyl group and a C1-C4 alkenyl group optionally containing a hydroxyl group;
• R14 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, a C1-C4 alkyl group and —C(O)R15, wherein R15 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and a C1-C4 alkyl group;
• and
• one of the dotted lines represents an optional carbon-carbon double bond.

A compound represented by Formula IX:

• wherein
• R19 is a C1-C4 alkyl group;
• R20 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and —C(O)R22, wherein R22 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and a C1-C4 alkyl group;
• R21 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, a C1-C4 alkyl group and —C(O)R23, wherein R23 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and a C1-C4 alkyl group;
• the dotted lines represent an optional carbon-carbon double bond and an optional carbon-oxygen double bond,
• with the proviso that, when the optional carbon-oxygen double bond is present, R21 is absent.
