Other names :
Florosa® ; 4-methyl-2-(2-methylpropyl)oxan-4-ol ; 2-isobutyl-4-hydroxy-4-methyltetrahydropyran ; Floral pyranol ; Floriffol ; Florosol ; Florotyl ; Flowerol ; Frescoflor ; Keflorol 90 ; Muguetol ; Pyranol ; Tetrahydro-4-methyl-2-(2-methylpropyl)pyran-4-ol
Volatility :
Heart
Uses in perfumery :
Florol® is used to replace Hydroxycitronnellal, for regulatory reasons, for lily of the valley or lilac accords in particular. However, it is less fresh and floral-lily of the valley than Hydroxycitronellal. Also used for its stability.
Natural availability :
Florol® is not available in its natural state.
Year of discovery :
Discovered in 1986.
''Florol® '' tradename has been published and protected by Firmenich SA since 18/02/1988 (brand N°521114)
Other comments :
Unlike Hydroxycitronellal, Florol® is not regulated or allergenic.
Price Range :
€
Stability :
Unstable in acidic products, except in fabric conditioners, and in alkaline products, except powder detergents.

Synthesis route :
The synthesis of Florol® is made by cyclocondensation between 3-methyl-3-buten-1-ol and 3-methylbutanal, on silica gel and aluminum oxide, and in the presence of solvent.
Synthesis precursor :
Florol® is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.
Isomerism :
The molecule has an asymmetric carbon, but it is the racemic mixture of Florol® that is used in perfumery.
Hydroxycitronellal is a constitutional isomer of Florol®. Moreover, these two molecules are used for the same purpose in perfumery: often for reproductions of lily of the valley notes. In compositions, Florol® tends to replace Hydroxycitronellal as it is not regulated.
