Abstract
The use of unsaturated bicyclooctenemethanols to augment or enhance the organoleptic properties of perfumes, particularly the aroma of perfumes together with compositions containing such bicyclooctenemethanols and processes for preparing them, said bicyclooctenemethanols having the generic structures: ##STR1## wherein the wavy line represents exo or endo configurations of the ethanol moiety.
Claims4
A fragrance modifying composition comprising at least one bicyclo[2.2.2]octene derivative having a formula selected from the group consisting of:
- ##STR35## or a mixture thereof wherein the wavy lines represent exo and endo configurations of the ethanol moiety with respect to the carbon-carbon double bond of the bicyclo[2.2.2]octene moiety, and at least one adjuvant selected from the group consisting of natural perfume oils, synthetic perfume oils, other alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, esters, nitriles and lactones.
A process for altering, modifying or enhancing the aroma of a perfume composition which comprises adding thereto a small but effective amount of an organoleptic property modifying, enhancing, altering or imparting composition comprising at least one bicyclo[2.2.2]octene derivative having the formula selected from the group consisting of:
- ##STR36## or a mixture thereof wherein the wavy lines represent exo and endo configurations of the ethanol moiety with respect to the carbon-carbon double bond of the bicyclo[2.2.2]octene moiety.
