Chemistry & Uses
Uses in perfumery :
Skatole is used in small quantities in leather, woody notes, but less in floral notes than Indole. Brings an animalic facet to all types of accords.
Year of discovery :
1880
Natural availability :
Skatole is found naturally in some cheeses, among others, but is very little extracted for its use in perfumery. Synthetic skatole is the most used.
Isomerism :
Skatole does not have isomer used in perfumery.
Synthesis precursor :
Skatole is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.
Synthesis route :
Skatole is part of the same family of molecules as Indole: the pyroles. These molecules can be synthesized in several ways. In the case of Skatole, a Fischer synthesis is adapted. This reaction consists in reacting phenylhydrazine with propanal, catalysed by a strong acid. Many other synthetic routes exist for this compound, such as the synthesis of Bischler-Möhlau, the Reissert or the Madelung synthesis among others.
Stability :
This compound is well known for synthesizing Schiff bases by reacting espacially with aldehydes. These compounds can have an olfactive interest but are still a source of coloration in perfume concentrates and perfumes besides others. This is why this raw material is used is small quantities.
Other comments :
Skatole is more powerful and greedy than Indole but less floral.
