Abstract: Spirocyclic compounds of the general formula (I) are provided which are powerful odorants. Compositions which include these compounds are also provided. They can be used, for instance, in perfumery.

Abstract: The invention is related to novel thiamacrolides, especially musk odorants, having extremely low threshold values, their use in functional perfumery such as fine perfumery, as well as to the preparation of thiamacrolide compounds.

Abstract: The invention relates to compounds of the general formula ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 to R.sup.7 are, independently, H, methyl or ethyl, R.sup.8 +R.sup.9 together form methylene (--CH.sub.2 --) or a single bond, or R.sup.1 +R.sup.2 together form --(CH.sub.2).sub.n --, with n being 3 or 4, or R.sup.3 +R.sup.5 or R.sup.5 +R.sup.7 represent methylene or a single bond; and the presence of at least one cyclopropane ring in the molecule is compulsory and the side chain can be saturated or contains one double bond in position .alpha.,.beta. or .beta., .gamma. a process for the manufacture of these compounds, compounds used to perform the process and the use of these compounds as an odorant or as an ingredient of an odorant composition.

Abstract: The invention is concerned with novel odorants, including the compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 .dbd.R.sup.4 .dbd.CH.sub.3 and R.sup.2 .dbd.R.sup.3 .dbd.H orR.sup.1 .dbd.R.sup.2 .dbd.R.sup.3 .dbd.H and R.sup.4 .dbd.CH.sub.3, orR.sup.1 +R.sup.2 .dbd.--CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 -- and R.sup.3 .dbd.H and R.sup.4 .dbd.CH.sub.3, orR.sup.1 .dbd.R.sup.4 .dbd.CH.sub.3 and R.sup.2 +R.sup.3 .dbd.--CH.sub.2 -- orR.sup.1 .dbd.CH.sub.3 and R.sup.2 .dbd.R.sup.3 .dbd.H and R.sup.4 .dbd.CH.sub.2 CH.sub.3 orR.sup.1 .dbd.R.sup.2 .dbd.R.sup.4 .dbd.CH.sub.3 and R.sup.3 .dbd.H and R.sup.5 .dbd.H (preferred) or CH.sub.3.

Abstract: Compounds of the formula: ##STR1## in which R.sup.1, R.sup.2 represent H or methyl and R.sup.3, R.sup.4 represent H, C.sub.1-4 alkyl or C.sub.2-4 alkenyl; R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 together can also be butylidene are interesting camphor derivatives. They exhibit valuable odor characteristics.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel odorants derived from formylpinane. In particular, these are compounds of the formula ##STR1## in which R represents H or C--C alkyl, for example methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl etc., preferably methyl or ethyl, preferably methyl or ethyl, n represents 0 or 1 and the notation represents a single or double bond I.

Abstract: The present invention relates, by way of novel industrial products, to the sulfonylphenyl-.beta.-D-thioxyloside compounds of the formula ##STR1## in which: X is a sulfur atom or an oxygen atom;R is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl group, a substituted amino group NR.sub.1 R.sub.2 (where R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, which are identical or different, are each a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl group, it being possible for R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, taken together, to form a piperidinyl or morpholinyl group with the nitrogen atom to which they are bonded) or a phenyl group which is unsubstituted or substituted in the para position by a cyano group or by a halogen atom; andY is the hydrogen atom or an aliphatic acyl group.These compounds are useful in therapeutics, especially as venous antithrombotics.

Abstract: The present invention relates, by way of novel industrial products, to the .beta.-D-phenylthioxyloside compounds of the formula ##STR1## in which: X represents a sulfur atom or an oxygen atom;R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3, which are identical or different, each represent a hydrogen atom, a nitro group, a cyano group, a group --CO--R (in which R represents a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl group or a trifluoromethyl group), an amino group, an acetamido group (NHCOCH.sub.3), a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy group, a trifluoromethyl group or a phenyl group substituted by one or more cyano, nitro or trifluoromethyl groups, it being possible for R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, taken together, to form, with the phenyl group to which they are bonded, a .beta.-naphthalenyl group which is unsubstituted or substituted by one or more cyano, nitro or trifluoromethyl groups; andY represents the hydrogen atom or an aliphatic acyl group.These compounds are useful as therapeutic agents, especially as venous antithrombotics.
