Chemistry & Uses
Uses in perfumery :
Cuminaldehyde is used in leather, spicy notes, in heavy and spicy flower accords (e. g. carnation), in oriental and woody accords and for sweaty notes. Used as a replacor for Cumin EO, in which it is found at about 30% of the composition.
Year of discovery :
Data not available.
Natural availability :
Cuminaldehyde can be extracted in its natural state from Cumin EO, as it represents 40% of its composition.
Isomerism :
The ortho and meta isomers isolated from Cuminaldehyde are not used in fine perfumery. Cuminaldehyde is a constitutional isomer of Anethole, which has a very different smell reminiscent of Star Anise EO.
Synthesis precursor :
Cuminaldehyde is the precursor to several raw materials. Its oxidation gives Cuminic Acid, the hydrogenation of the aldehyde function leads to Cuminic Alcohol and its total hydrogenation synthesizes Mayol with a smell of lily of the valley. It can also form a Schiff base with Methyl Anthranilate, with a fruity and more artificial smell, or a dimethyl acetal which also has an olfactory interest.
Synthesis route :
Cuminaldehyde synthesis is made by reduction of 4-Isopropylbenzoyl chloride or by formylation of cumene.
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
