Organoleptic use of Prins reaction products of diisoamylene, derivatives thereof, organoleptic uses thereof and processes for preparing same

Abstract

Described is the genus of compounds defined according to the structure: ##STR1## wherein one of the dashed lines represents a carbon-carbon double bond and each of the other of the dashed lines represent carbon-carbon single bonds; wherein the wavy line represents a carbon-carbon single bond or no bond; wherein when the wavy line represents a carbon-carbon single bond, Z represents methylene and when the wavy line represents no bond, Z represents hydrogen or C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 acyl prepared according to a Prins reaction between diisoamylene defined according to the structure: ##STR2## wherein one of the dashed lines represents a carbon-carbon double bond and each of the other of the dashed lines represent carbon-carbon single bonds or one of the structures: ##STR3## formaldehyde of a formaldehyde source such as trioxane or paraformaldehyde in the presence of an acyl anhydride and an acid catalyst; and organoleptic uses of such Prins reaction products in the field of perfumery, colognes, perfumed articles, foodstuffs, chewing gums, medicinal products, toothpastes, chewing tobaccos and smoking tobaccos.
