Other names :
Ambraketal® ; Z11® ; Ambermor ketal® ; Dodecahydro-3,8,8,11a-tetramethyl-5H-3,5a-epoxynaphth[2,1-c]oxepin ; Amber oxepin
Volatility :
Base
Uses in perfumery :
According to its olfactive weakness, this woody and ambery molecule is less used than some others. Amberketal® can be used in woody-ambergris notes and especially in functionnal products thanks to its stability.
Natural availability :
Amberketal® is not available in its natural state.
Year of discovery :
Discovered in 1953.
Other comments :
Most of the time, Amberketal® is diluted at around 10% in Isopropyl Myristate or Dipropylene Glycol for solubility and use reasons.
Price Range :
€€
Stability :
Stable in perfumes and diverse functional bases, except very acid products and bleach.

Synthesis route :
Amberketal® is synthesized from manool, a natural component extracted from ''pink pine '' tree Halocarpus biformis, growing in New-Zealand. One of Manool's double bond is epoxidized, subsequent oxydative degradation of the allyl alcohol function into a ketone, and an intramolecular acetalization, giving birth to the final ketal function.
Synthesis precursor :
Amberketal® is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.
Isomerism :
Amberketal has got five asymmetric carbons, forming a few possible isomers. Nevertheless, only a mix of these isomers is used in perfumery.
