3,6-Dimethyl-3-hydroxy-oct-1-ynes and -oct-1-enes and their esters with lower alkanoic acids, of the general formula I STR1 where X and Y are H or the two X's and/or the two Y's together are a further bond between the carbon atoms on which they are present, and R is H, --CO--CH3, --CO--C2 H5 or --CO--C3 H7, their use as scents, and a process for the preparation of 3,6-dimethyl-3-hydroxy-octane. The novel compounds exhibit interesting, predominantly floral, woody, herbal and fruity notes. The alcohols of the formula I are of particular importance because they serve as intermediates for a novel and particularly advantageous method of obtaining 3,6-dimethyl-3-hydroxy-octane, a compound required in large amounts as a fragrance for soaps and detergents.
