Abstract: Described are perfume compositions and processes for producing same which compositions comprise in an aroma augmenting or enhancing quantity at least one compound having the structure: ##STR1## wherein m is 0 or 1; wherein one of the lines + + + + is a carbon-carbon single bond and the other of the lines + + + + is a carbon-carbon double bond and wherein X is carbinol having the structure: ##STR2## and at least one adjuvant selected from the group consisting of natural perfume oils, synthetic perfume oils, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones other than those defined herein, esters, nitriles and lactones. Also described are colognes containing compounds having the above structure and ethanol and water.

Abstract: Novel cyclopentanone derivatives are found to be useful as flavor and odor modifying ingredients. The new compounds are particularly useful in the preparation of perfumes and perfumed products as well as for the aromatization of foodstuffs and beverages.

Abstract: Derivatives, analogs, and congeners of prostane having a 1-(hydroxymethyl)-1-oxo-prostane structure in the A.sub.2 series.

Abstract: Process for synthesizing the lactone, (dl) 3,3a beta-4,5-6,6a betahexahydro-4beta(3-hydroxyl-1-trans-octenyl)-5alpha-hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-cy clopenta [b] furan, a known intermediate for producing prostaglandin E.sub.2 and F.sub.2.alpha. and a process for preparing 11-desoxy and 11-alkyl prostaglandins from dihydroresorcyclic acid.

Abstract: This disclosure describes novel 15-deoxy-16 hydroxy-16-substituted prostanoic acid analogs in which the C-1 carboxyl is replaced by a primary alcohol and carboxylic acid esters, carbonates and carbomates thereof. The prostanoic carbinols and carboxylic acid esters thereof described herein have utility as bronchodilators as hypotensive agents, and as agents for the control of excessive gastric secretion.

Abstract: A process for producing trimethyl oxo or hydroxy substituted cycopentenone food coloring agents including intermediates in this process.

Abstract: This invention comprises certain analogs of the prostaglandins in which the C-1 carboxyl is replaced by a primary alcohol. Also provided in this invention, are novel chemical processes useful in the preparation of the above prostaglandin analogs. These prostaglandin analogs exhibit prostaglandin-like activity, and are accordingly useful for the same pharmacological purposes as the prostaglandins. Among these purposes are blood pressure lowering, labor induction at term, reproductive-cycle regulation, gastric antisecretory action, and the like.

Abstract: Derivatives, analogs, and congeners of prostane having a 1-(hydroxymethyl)-1-oxo-prostane structure in the F.sub.1 series.
