Other names :

acetate de verdyl ; Verdyl acetate ; Herbaflorat ; Jasmacyclene ; Greenenyl acetate ; 3a,4,5,6,7,7a-hexahydro-4,7-methano-1H-indenyl acetate ; acetate de 3a,4,5,6,7,7a-hexahydro-4,7-methano-1H-indenyl ; Tricyclo(5.2.1.02,6)dec-3-enyl acetate ; acetate de tricyclo(5.2.1.02,6)dec-3-enyl

Volatility :

Base

Uses in perfumery :

Cyclacet can be used in soap, detergent and air freshner bases for its stability, and to bring a quite functional green and aromatic note.

Natural availability :

Cyclacet is not found in nature. Thus, it is not extracted from any plant.

Year of discovery :

1959

Other comments :

Both imbricated cycles of the molecule are often associated with a woody note. It is the case for example in Mysore acetate, whose ester function is on the other side of the two cycles. This woody facet is anyway less percievable in Cyclacet.

Price Range :

€

Stability :

Esters may form their corresponding acid under the effect of heat.

Synthesis route :

Cyclacet can be obtained with an addition reaction involving Acetic Acid and dicyclopentadiene, also using an acidic catalysor as concentrated sulfuric acid. This reaction gives birth to a mixture of two positional isomers, that are not separated afterwards.

Synthesis precursor :

Cyclacet is not used for the synthesis of another compound used in perfumes.

Isomerism :

Cyclacet is made of two isomers, formed during its synthesis. Their smell being not so different (one of the isomers is more woody and coniferous anyway), a mixture of the two isomers is used in perfumery.
