Chemistry & Uses
Uses in perfumery :
Majantol® enters the floral-aldehydic molecules category, including Lilial® and Bourgeonal™ for example. It is used as it is slightly less regulated, for lily of the valley and other white flower notes, for a light effect, in association with other molecules as Hedione® or Florol®. It also brings a fresh nuance.
Year of discovery :
Patent N°3,531,585 (DE) published on Sept. 4, 1985 by Elektrochemisch Industrie GmbH
Natural availability :
Majantol® is not reported as found in nature, and can thus not be extracted from any plant.
Isomerism :
Majantol® has a methyl group associated to carbon n°3 of its aromatic cycle, on a meta position. Molecules having this groupment on an ortho or para position are not used in perfumery, although they are isomers of Majantol® Phenoxanol® is a constitutional isomer of Majantol®, having a more rosy and green note.
Synthesis precursor :
Majantol® is not a precursor for the synthesis of another material used in perfumery.
Synthesis route :
Majantol® can be prepared in two steps, starting with 3-methylbenzyl chloride, reacting it with 2-methylpropanal, in the presence of a catalysor as tetrabutylammonium iodide. An aldehyde is obtained and can be reducted, reacting with sodium tetrahydruroborate, to obtain the final product.
Stability :
Aromatic compounds are chromophorous. This means that they may color through time and in contact with alkaline bases.
Other comments :
Majantol® structure is close to Dimethyl Benzyl Carbinol. Its smell is less aldehydic and aqueous. Majantol® also has olfactive similarities with Lyal® and Hydroxycitronellal®, although it is more aqueous than theses molecules.
Labelling
Allergens :
This ingredient is classified as an allergen under European Regulation 2023/1545, dated August 26, 2023.
Its presence must therefore be declared on product labels when it exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products.

Specified ingredients: notes
2,2-Dimethyl-3-(3-tolyl)propan-1-ol should only be used as a fragrance ingredient if traces of organochlorine compounds are restricted. Total Chlorine, which can be measured by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy, must not exceed 25 ppm in the raw material.
