Other names :
[(1R,2S)-1-methyl-2-[[(1R,3S,5S)-1,2,2-trimethyl-3-bicyclo[3.1.0]hexanyl]methyl]cyclopropyl]methanol ; 1-methyl-2-[(1,2,2-trimethylbicyclo[3.1.0]hex-3-yl)methyl]-cyclopropanemethanol
Volatility :
Base
Uses in perfumery :
Javanol® is used for the same reasons as Bacdanol®, and for its aromatic facet, similar to thyme. Often used in small quantities as it is a very powerful and effective ingredient.
Natural availability :
Javanol® is not available in its natural state.
Year of discovery :
Data not available.
Other comments :
The detection limit of Javanol® is extremely low. This makes it one of the most used santal compounds, because it brings a milky and woody effect, even at a very small dosage.
Price Range :
€€€€
Stability :
Unstable exclusively in acid cleaners and in bleach.

Synthesis route :
Javanol® is synthesized by a Simmons-Smith double reaction, consisting in cyclopropanation from 2-methyl-4-(2,2,3-trimethyl-3-cyclopenten-1-yl)-2-buten-1-ol. This reaction involves a catalysis with Zinc and Copper, as well as diodomethane, to convert a double bond into a cyclopropane group.
Synthesis precursor :
Javanol® is not involved in the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.
Isomerism :
Javanol® has several asymmetric carbons that give rise to several possible isomers. Nevertheless, it is a mixture of isomers that is used in perfumery.
In addition, Javanol® is a constitutional isomer of Polysantol®. These two compounds have a similar structure, and are used for similar reasons in perfumes. Javanol® still has a less milky note than Polysantol®, but is more powerful.
