Synthesis route :

Synthesis of Trimofix® can be done starting from its corresponding trimethylcyclododecatriene, thanks to an acetylation reaction using acetic anhydride, in the presence of boron trifluoride diethyl ether.

Synthesis precursor :

Trimofix® is not a precursor for the synthesis of another material used in perfumery.

Isomerism :

Trimofix® has three double bonds. Their conformation does not matter for this compound. It is imposed during the synthesis and no isomer is favoured. Trimofix® also is a constitutional isomer of Vertofix®, having a distinctive cedarwood smell.

Natural availability :

Trimofix® is not reported as found in nature, and can thus not be extracted from any plant.

Allergens :

This ingredient does not contain any allergen.

Uses in perfumery :

Trimofix® is used in woody notes and in male perfumes, to bring woody, ambery and dry power. It can be overdosed as it is sweeter than other woody-ambery materials.

Other names :

cyclisone, 1-(2,6,10-trimethyl-2,5,9-cyclododecatrien-1-yl) ethanone, fixamber, methyl-2,6,10-trimethylcyclododeca-2,5,9-trien-1-yl ketone, trimofix 0

Other comments :

In the woody-ambery family, Trimofix® has a distinctive very dry note of sawdust, as Karanal® and Cedramber®.
