Synthesis route :
Liffarome® synthesis can be carried out in two steps. The first one is an esterification reaction between phosgene and methanol, leading to methyl chlorocarbonate. Conditions for this reaction have to be careful because of the reactivity of phosgene, not to form dimethyl carbonate. Afterwards, a second esterification reaction can be carried out by reacting the intermediary product with Cis-3-Hexenol. No catalysis is needed for these reactions, because phosgene and methyl chlorocarbonate are both very reactive.
Synthesis precursor :
Liffarome® is not a precursor for the synthesis of another compound used in perfumes.
Isomerism :
Trans-3-Hexenyl methyl carbonate is a diastereoisomer of Liffarome®, but it is not used in perfumery.
