Chemistry & Uses
Uses in perfumery :
Canthoxal® is used to create juicy fruits accords (melon, pear...) and floral notes (mimosa, brooms, lilies...). Can be used both as a booster for a cologne head or as a fresh note for oriental perfumes.
Year of discovery :
1951
Natural availability :
Canthoxal® is not available in its natural state.
Isomerism :
Canthoxal® has an asymmetrical carbon that gives rise to two enantiomers. However, it is the racemic mixture of these two isomers that is used in perfumery. Methyl Eugenol is a constitutional isomer of Canthoxal®. Its smell is however much more spicy and earthy.
Synthesis precursor :
Canthoxal® forms a Schiff base by reaction with Methyl Anthranilate or Indole for example.
Synthesis route :
Canthoxal® is synthesized by a condensation reaction of Anisic Aldehyde with propanal, followed by a hydrogenation of the intermediate product.
Stability :
Aldehydes may form diethylacetals in alcoholic perfumes, with no real impact on their smell.
Most of the time, the occurrence of a benzenic cycle in a molecule causes a coloration of this molecule through time
Other comments :
Canthoxal® is one of the only molecules mixing an anisic and ozonic note.
