Summary

In continuation of studying structure/odour relationships of odourous compounds, the tricyclic patchouli-system is degraded to bicyclic structures by cutting the C6-C7 bond (8 and9) or by omitting the methylene group of C11 (12). The olfactory properties are studied and described by using the key odour descriptors — woody, earthy, and camphoraceous.

Zusammenfassung

In Fortführung der Untersuchungen über Struktur/Geruchs-Beziehungen wird das tricyclische Patchouli-Gerüst durch Lösen der C6-C7 Bindung (in8 und9) bzw. durch Entfernung der C11-Methylen-Gruppe (in12) auf ein bicyclisches System reduziert. Die Geruchseigenschaften werden mit Hilfe der Hauptgeruchsmerkmale — holzig, erdig und camphrig — beschrieben.
