Utilisation

Chemistry & Uses

Year of discovery :

Data not available.

Natural availability :

Methyl Laitone® is not found in nature. It is note possible to extract it from a natural product.

Isomerism :

Methyl Laitone® is a constitutional isomer of Jasmolactone®. These two molecules have lactone groups, giving a lactonic facet, but Methyl Laitone® is more reminiscent of coconut milk, as Jasmolactone® is of peach and jasmine.

Synthesis precursor :

Methyl Laitone® is not a precursor for the synthesis of another compound of olfactive interest.

Synthesis route :

Synthesis of Methyl Laitone® can be carried out in one step by reacting acrylic acid with a large excess of para-methyl cyclohexanol (5 to 10 times more), in the presence of a catalytic amount of a free radical initiator as di-tertbutylperoxide, to a high temperature (145-155°C) to initiate the reaction.

Stability :

Stable in the major part of functional bases, except very acidic (detergent) and very alkaline bases (liquid bleach).

Other comments :

As it is very powerful, Methyl Laitone® is generally used in low quantity. It also is diluted in Dipropylene Glycol or Triethyl Citrate to get solubilized before usage.
Good synergy with Nectaryl®, in 50/50 propotions (peach cheesecake) ; with Dupical in 60/40 proportions (imaginary tonka flower) ; with Paradisamide® in 80/20 proportions (tropical fruits) ; with Kephalis® in 80/20 proportions (milky and minty incense).
