Chemistry & Uses

Uses in perfumery :

Phenoxanol® is used in rose notes to replace some of the rose alcohols. Useful in geranium, lily of the valley, light floral and fruity notes.

Year of discovery :

1935

Natural availability :

Phenoxanol® is not available in its natural state.

Isomerism :

This compound has an asymmetric carbon. Both enantiomers of the molecule have a similar smell. However, it is the racemic mixture of the two compounds that is used in perfumery. Moreover, Phenoxanol® is a constitutional isomer of Majantol®, although its smell is more aldehydic and aqueous.

Synthesis precursor :

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

Synthesis route :

The synthesis of Phenoxanol® is made from tetrahydro-4-methylene-5-phenylpyran (obtained by a cyclocondensation between benzaldehyde and 3-methyl-3-buten-1-ol, in the presence of para-toluenesulfonic acid), by a catalytic hydrogenation reaction.

Stability :

Most of the time, the occurrence of a benzenic cycle in a molecule causes a coloration of this molecule through time
Unstable in acid cleaners and very alkaline products.

Other comments :

In comparision to other rosy and green notes of perfumery as Nerolidol or Rosacetol®, Phenoxanol® has a distinctive zesty facet.
