Other names :
Aldehyde C11 MOA ; Aldehyde MOA ; MOA ; 2-methyl decanal ; 2-methyl-1-decanal ; Methyl octyl acetaldehyde ; 2-methyl decanal ; 2-methyldecanal ; Methyloctylacetaldehyde ; Methyl octyl acetic aldehyde
Volatility :
Head
Uses in perfumery :
Used in coriander leaves notes (Coriander Leaf EO), in sparkling liquors notes, in eaux fraiches and zesty notes, bringing an agrestic undernote.
Natural availability :
Aldehyde C-11 MOA is a purely synthetic aldehyde, not found in nature.
Year of discovery :
Data not available.
Other comments :
In comparision with Aldehyde C-12 MNA, Aldehyde C-11 MOA has one additional carbon atom. This changes it into a more fruity, a deeper and more agrestic smell.
Price Range :
€€
Stability :
Aldehydes may form diethylacetals in alcoholic perfumes, with no real impact on their smell

Synthesis route :
Aldehyde C-11 MOA (for Methyl Octyl Acetaldehyde) is synthesized in two different ways.
2-Decanone reacts with a Chloroacetate to give a glycidate, which can be saponified and decarboxylated to obtain the final product. The second synthesis route firstly reacts Aldehyde C-10 Decylenic with formaldehyde in the catalytic presence of an amine, and then a hydrogenation of the intermediate product allows to obtain the Aldehyde C-11 MOA.
Synthesis precursor :
Aldehyde C-11 MOA forms a Schiff base by reaction with Methyl Anthranilate or Indole for example. It can also be used for condensation with another aldehyde or ketone to form the desired alcene.
Isomerism :
Aldehyde C11 MOA is a constitutional isomer of Aldehyde C11 Undecylic. It only has one ramification, while Aldehyde C11 Undecylic has a longer carbon chain. Its smell is much more fresh and zesty.
