Volatility :
Base
Uses in perfumery :
Calone® is used in fresh, floral, white flower, spring and marine notes.
Natural availability :
Calone® is not available in its natural state.
Year of discovery :
Discovered in 1966 by Pfizer company.
Patent N°3,517,031 (US) published on Aug. 15, 1966 by Beeredoo.J, Old Lyme, Cameron.P, Stephens.C for Pfizer&Co.,Inc.
Calone® brand has been published and protected by Firmenich SA since 28/08/1980
Other comments :
The olfactory perception threshold of Calone® is equivalent to 31 picograms / litre, that is to say a grain of salt in an Olympic pool. However, it is less powerful than Azurone®, another molecule with a marine smell.
Calone® was the initiator of the aquatic scents trend during the 90's, embodying a trend of perfumes far from the skin and closer to nature.
Its production is around 30 tons / year.

Synthesis route :
Calone® is synthesized in several stages. The first one is an esterification of 4-methyl pyrocatechol with two equivalents of alkyl 2-bromoacetate. The resulting molecule undergoes a Diekmann condensation followed by an acid hydrolysis and a decarboxylation to obtain the final product.
Synthesis precursor :
Calone® is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.
Isomerism :
Calone® does not have any isomer used in perfumery.
