Chemistry & Uses

Chemistry & Uses

Uses in perfumery :

Jasmonal A® is useful for light floral accords such as spring and white flowers : jasmine, lilac, tuberose or narcissus notes. Also used in fruity notes.

Year of discovery :

1926

Natural availability :

Jasmonal A® is found in trace amounts in some black teas. However, it is synthetic Jasmonal A® that is most often used in perfumery.

Isomerism :

Jasmonal A® has a double bond that gives rise to two possible diastereoisomers of the molecule. However, it is the mixture of the two diastereoisomers that is used in perfumery.

Synthesis precursor :

Jasmonal A® is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.

Synthesis route :

As for Cinnamaldehyde, the synthesis of Jasmonal A® is made by a condensation of Benzaldehyde with heptanal (Aldehyde C-7), using an excess of Benzaldehyde and gradually adding the Aldehyde C-7 in order to avoid it self-condensation.

Stability :

Aldehydes may form diethylacetals in alcoholic perfumes, with no real impact on their smell.
Jamsonal A colors through time.

Other comments :

Jasmonal A® is more powerful, rising and soapy, but less watery than Jasmonal H®.
Jasmonal A® is one of the 26 allergens in perfumery.
