Abstract: A component pairing comprises a first component with a first component toothing and comprises a second component with a second component toothing which is in engagement with the first component toothing in order to be able to transmit a drive force in a drive direction via the component toothings. The first component is also assigned a first anti-rattle toothing. An anti-rattle component is fastened to the second component, which anti-rattle component has a second anti-rattle toothing which is in engagement with the first anti-rattle toothing. The anti-rattle component is mounted so as to be displaceable relative to the second component in the drive direction. The second component and the anti-rattle component are assigned in each case one friction section. The friction sections are in frictional engagement with one another.

Abstract: There is described a compound of general formula (2RS,4SR,6X)-2,4,6-Rimethyl-4-phenyl-1,3-dioxane with the configuration characteristic X=RS (Compound 1) or SR ##STR1## The compounds 1 and 3 possess a fragrance which can be described as strong, herbal-fresh, green, typically grapefruit.Further described are new processes for production of a mixture of the compounds (2RS,4SR,6RS)-2,4,6-trimethyl-4-phenyl-1,3-dioxane (1) and (2RS,4RS,6RS)-2,4,6-trimethyl-4-phenyl-1,3-dioxane (2).

Abstract: It was found that 8-exo-formyl-2,6-exo-tricyclo[5.2.1.0.sup.2,6 ]decane having the constitution and stereochemistry of formula (I) possesses particularly useful olfactory properties which are clearly superior to those of the 8-endo-epimer and which already have an effect if compound (I) is enriched with mixtures of 8-exo- and 8-endo-epimers. Compound (I) can therefore be advantageously used, in pure or enriched form, as a scent or as a component of perfume compositions. To prepare an enriched epimer mixture, a mixture obtained in a known manner (U.S. Pat. No. 3,270,061) and having an exo/endo ratio of 1.45:1 is brought into equilibrium by base catalysis, preferably by the action of alkali hydroxides in alcoholic solution, to give an exo/endo ratio of 5.25:1. Alternatively, the enriched epimer mixture can be prepared starting from 8-formyl-2,6-exo-tricyclo[5.2.1.0.sup.2,6 ]decene-3(4), catalytically hydrogenated for example with palladium coal and then optionally brought into equilibrium.

Abstract: It has been found that .alpha.-campholenenitrile with formula A and .gamma.-campholenenitrile with formula B ##STR1## are excellent for use as fragrances, especially as components of fragrance mixtures for perfuming cosmetics or other consumer goods. The two nitriles can be used individually or in mixture with each other.

Abstract: It was found that ekylic ethers of 2,2,2-trichloro-1-phenylethanol with the general formula A ##STR1## are excellently usable as odoriferous substances, especially as components of perfume oils for cosmetic and technical consumer goods.

Abstract: The .beta.,.gamma.-unsaturated 2,2,3-trimethylcyclopent-3-enyl derivatives of formula I ##STR1## where R may be methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl or butyl, the wavy line characterizes geometric isomers and the broken lines characterize stereoisomers. These compounds can be produced by reduction of the aldol condensation products of campholene aldehyde and aliphatic aldehydes using sodium borohydride at raised temperatures. The compounds can be used to individually or as a mixture with the relevant .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated alcohols as odorants or as an ingredient of perfume oils for cosmetic and technical consumer goods.

Abstract: A bath additive or shower gel, comprising 20 to 70% by weight of a detergent blend (consisting of 10 to 90% by weight of an amine C.sub.8-18 fatty alcohol sulphate (optionally ethoxylated) and a metal or ammonium ethoxylated C.sub.8-18 fatty alcohol sulphate) and 20 to 60% by weight of a cosmetically acceptable oil, gives improved oil deposition.
