Synthesis route :
Safraleine® can be synthesized from neophyl choride, in three steps. The first one consists in transforming it into an organomagnesian, by reacting it with magnesium. The reaction between this organomagnesian and CO2 leads to a carboxylic acid with one additional carbon. A heated cyclization in an acidic medium (sulfuric acid) can be carried out, followed by methylation of the obtained compound using methyl iodide in an alkaline medium leads to the final product : Safraleine®.
Synthesis precursor :
Safraleine® is not used for the synthesis of another molecule of olfactive interest.
Isomerism :
Safraleine® has an asymmetric carbon, giving birth to two possible enantiomers. Nevertheless, a blend of these two isomers is used in perfumery.
