Branched chain olefinic alcohols, thiols, esters and ethers, organoleptic uses thereof, processes for preparing same and intermediates therefor

Abstract

Described are compounds defined according to the structure: ##STR1## taken alone or in admixture wherein one of the dashed lines is a carbon-carbon double bond and each of the other of the dashed lines are carbon-carbon single bonds; wherein R.sub.1 represents C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl; R.sub.2 represents C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl; Z represents oxygen or sulfur; R.sub.3 represents hydrogen, MgX, Li, C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 lower alkyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 lower acyl; and wherein X represents chloro, bromo or iodo and uses thereof in augmenting or enhancing the aroma and/or taste of consumable materials such as perfume compositions, colognes, perfumed articles, e.g., solid or liquid anionic, cationic, nonionic or zwitterionic detergents, fabric softener compositions or dryer-added fabric softener articles, smoking tobaccos, chewing gums, chewing tobaccos, medicinal products or toothpastes. Also described are processes for preparing such compounds hereinafter described as branched chain olefinic alcohols, thiols, esters and ethers.
