Synthesis route :
The diastereoisomers obtained are not the same, depending on the conditions used for the synthesis of this two double-bonded compounds. The reaction for obtaining Aldehyde C-16 remains a condensation of Darzens using acetophenone and Ethyl chloroacetate.
Synthesis precursor :
Aldehyde C-16 is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.
Isomerism :
Aldehyde C-16 as used in common perfumery is a mixture of four isomers: (S, S), (R, R), (S, R) and (R, S). Each have a characteristic smell and mixing them gives the smell of Aldehyde C-16.
Aldehyde C-20, also known as Raspberry Aldehyde, is a positional isomer of Aldehyde C-16. Both have a fruity smell, but Aldehyde C-20 is more reminiscent of banana.
