Abstract: Described are 2,4-disubstituted and 2,2,4-trisubstituted tetrahydropyranyl-4-ethers defined according to the generic structure: ##STR1## wherein R' represents methyl or ethyl; R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 taken alone are the same or different hydrogen, phenyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkyl or C.sub.2 -C.sub.8 alkenyl (with the proviso that R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are not both hydrogen) and R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 taken together represent C.sub.5 -C.sub.12 cycloalkyl or alkyl cycloalkyl, and reaction products containing said 2,4-disubstituted and 2,2,4-trisubstituted tetrahydropyranyl-4-ethers taken alone or taken further together in admixture with compounds defined according to the generic structure: ##STR2## wherein in the compounds defined according to the structure: ##STR3## one of the dashed lines in the moiety: ##STR4## represents a carbon-carbon double bond and each of the other dashed lines represent carbon-carbon single bonds; and R.sub.1 ' and R.sub.2 ' taken alone or taken together are defined in the same manner that R.

Abstract: The invention provides derivatives of bornane-3-spiro-1'-cyclopentane with woody note scent useful as a base component in perfumery formulations which comprises those having a substituting group selected from a methoxyl, ethoxyl, formyloxyl and acetoxyl groups or two of substituting groups being either a hydroxyl group and a methyl group or a hydroxyl group and an ethyl group at the 2-position synthesized by any of the reactions of borane-3-spiro-1'-cyclopentan-2--ol or bornane-3-spiro-1'-cyclopentan-2-one with any of the reagents selected in accordance with the substituting group(s) to be introduced.The invention also provides perfumery compositions containing the above.

Abstract: Flavoring and perfume compositions, flavored foodstuffs and luxury consumables and perfumed products which contain (+)-spathulenol and/or (+)-4a-allospathulenol, having respective structural formula ##STR1## as the base material, (+)-4a-allospathulenol per se and a process for the preparation of these spathulenols.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel odorant substances. These are compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein R and R.sup.1 are H, CH.sub.3, C.sub.2 H.sub.5, C.sub.3 H.sub.7 or CH(CH.sub.3).sub.2 and the sum of the carbon atoms in R and R.sup.1 does not exceed 6, and X is caran-yliden (2,2) or caran-yliden (4,4).The invention relates also to the preparation of these novel substances and to odorant compositions containing these substances.

Abstract: Substituted 5-formyl-1,3-dioxepans of the general formula I ##STR1## where R.sup.1 is a straight-chain or branched alkyl radical of 1 to 10 carbon atoms which may furthermore contain oxygen in the form of an ether group, or a 5-membered to 8-membered ring which is unsubstituted or substituted by alkyl groups and/or an alkylene group, has up to 10 carbon atoms and may furthermore contain oxygen in the form of an ether group, R.sup.2 is hydrogen, or R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 together form an alkylene radical of 4 to 10 carbon atoms which is unsubstituted or substituted by alkyl or alkoxy and may furthermore contain oxygen in the form of an ether group, and R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 are each hydrogen or methyl, and the total number of carbon atoms is not more than 25, their preparation and their use as scents.

Abstract: Novel bornane-3-spiro-1'-cylopentane derivatives of the following formula (I) ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are defined such that when R.sub.1 is a hydrogen atom, R.sub.2 is a hydroxyl group, or R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are joined to form a ketone are obtained from camphor.The derivatives are synthesized in a simple process from an economical starting material, camphor. The derivatives have woody-note and can be widely used in perfumes, soaps, shampoos, hair rinses, cosmetics and the like.
