Chemistry & Uses
Uses in perfumery :
Furaneol®makes it possible to add a burnt, sweet, jammy and gourmet note to a fruity accord. Used for strawberry and pineapple accords in particular.
Year of discovery :
''Furaneol® '' tradename has been published and protected by Firmenich SA since 31/10/1973 (brand N°402723)
Natural availability :
Natural Furaneol® can be extracted from certain fruits and is formed by pyrogenation of some food (almond for example). In the majority of cases, it is synthetic Furaneol® that is used in perfumery.
Isomerism :
Furaneol® has no isomer commonly used in perfumery.
Synthesis precursor :
Furaneol® is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.
Synthesis route :
Furaneol® can be synthesized in two main ways. Only one is exposed here: it consists firstly in an ethylation of Acetaldehyde (or ethanal), to synthesize 2,5-hexynediol. The second step is an ozonolysis of this compound in order to obtain hexane-2,5-diol-3,4-dione, which can finally be cyclized in an acid medium to give Furaneol®.
Stability :
Olfactively very unstable.
Other comments :
In comparison with other gourmand notes as Maltol and Ethyl maltol, Furaneol® has a more pyrogenic note, reminiscent of cooked strawberry. It also is more powerful.
Its detection threshold is very low comparing to Maltol, a few ppm for it .
