Hydrolyzed Diels Alder adducts of ocimenol have been synthesized and found to have good olfactory and perfumery properties. The hydrolyzed adducts are made by reacting ocimenol and an Alpha , Beta -unsaturated carbonyl compound, preferably acrolein, methacrolein or crotonaldehyde, in a Diels-Alder reaction, followed by hydrolysis. |
