Utilisation

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.
