Chemistry & Uses

Chemistry & Uses

Uses in perfumery :

Helional® is used in marine and juicy fruits accords, or for a light and ozonic note. Gives volume to a perfume or accord. Often used in functional fragrance.

Year of discovery :

Discovered in 1958. Patent N°3,008,968 published in february,11 1958 by Muus G.J. Beets and Harm van Essen for IFF

Natural availability :

Helional® is not available in its natural state.

Isomerism :

Helional® has an asymmetric carbon. The racemic mixture of the two enantiomers of the molecule is most often used. The (R) isomer is responsible for a fairly sweet aldehyde lily of the valley smell, while the (S) isomer is more ozonic, green and fruity.

Synthesis precursor :

May form a Schiff base with Methyl Anthranilate, called "Corps Oranger".

Synthesis route :

Helional® can be synthesized from Heliotropin by a condensation reaction with propanal, followed by a catalytic hydrogenation of the double bond that has formed.

Stability :

Aldehydes may form diethylacetals in alcoholic perfumes, with no real impact on their smell.
Can react with Methyl Anthranilate to form a Schiff base that colors through time.

Other comments :

The smell of Helional® is less aldehydic than Cyclamen Aldehyde, less fruity than Melonal® and less marine than Calone®. Helional® is also less powerful than these three compounds.
