Chemistry & Uses
Year of discovery :
Discovered in 1954.
Natural availability :
Tonalide® is not available in its natural state.
Isomerism :
Galaxolide® is another musk and a constitutional isomer of Tonalide®, with a quite similar smell.
Synthesis precursor :
Tonalide® is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.
Synthesis route :
Tonalide® is a polycyclic musk, synthesized from 1,1,2,4,4,7-hexamethyltetralin. This compound is synthesized by a reaction between alpha-para-dimethylstyrene and tetramethylethene, in an acid medium. It can also be prepared by a Friedel-Crafts reaction between para-Cymene and 3,3-dimethyl-1-butene in the presence of aluminium chloride. The last synthesis step is an acetylation with chloroacetic acid in the presence of aluminium chloride.
Stability :
Musks are very stable, as in alcoholic and in functional fragrances
Other comments :
Tonalide® has a very similar smell to Galaxolide®.
It is one of the most expensive musk.
Like some other polycyclic musks,Tonalide® is not biodegradable and causes major pollution problems. As a result, some companies have decided to ban this compound from their products.
