The sensory properties of commercial mixtures of alpha-irones were modified by means of simple chemical trans formations, enriching the original mixtures in their content of gamma-isomers. The sequence employed consisted of NaBH4 reduction, acetylation with Ac2O in pyridine, photoisomerization, saponification and MnO2, oxidation. New odor sensations can be elicited by manipulation of commercial odorants.

Abstract

The sensory properties of commercial mixtures of alpha-irones were modified by means of simple chemical trans formations, enriching the original mixtures in their content of gamma-isomers. The sequence employed consisted of NaBH4 reduction, acetylation with Ac2O in pyridine, photoisomerization, saponification and MnO2, oxidation. New odor sensations can be elicited by manipulation of commercial odorants.
