Synthesis route :
The synthesis of Phenoxanol® is made from tetrahydro-4-methylene-5-phenylpyran (obtained by a cyclocondensation between benzaldehyde and 3-methyl-3-buten-1-ol, in the presence of para-toluenesulfonic acid), by a catalytic hydrogenation reaction.
Synthesis precursor :
Phenoxanol® is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.
Isomerism :
This compound has an asymmetric carbon. Both enantiomers of the molecule have a similar smell. However, it is the racemic mixture of the two compounds that is used in perfumery.
Moreover, Phenoxanol® is a constitutional isomer of Majantol®, although its smell is more aldehydic and aqueous.
