Synthesis route :
Dimethyl Octenone can be synthesized by an alkylation reaction engaging diethyl ketone and prenyl chloride.
Synthesis precursor :
Dimethyl Octenone is not used for the synthesis of another molecule used in perfumery.
Isomerism :
Dimethyl Octenone has an asymmetric carbon, giving rise to two possible enantiomers for this molecule. Nevertheless, the ingredient used in perfumery is a mix of the enantiomers of the molecule.
Dimethyl Octenone is also a constitutional isomer of Linalool and Geraniol, among others, meanwhile it doesn't have the same smell as its isomers used in perfumery.
