General Description

Cyclopentadecane is a saturated hydrocarbon compound with the chemical formula C15H30. It belongs to the cycloalkane group and is a colorless, waxy solid at room temperature. Cyclopentadecane is mainly used as a component in cosmetic and personal care products, particularly in skincare and haircare products. It acts as an emollient and helps to soften and smooth the skin and hair. Additionally, it is also used in the production of lubricants, adhesives, and various industrial applications. In its pure form, it is non-toxic and non-irritating to the skin, making it a versatile ingredient in many consumer products.

Flow Chemistry under Extreme Conditions: Synthesis of Macrocycles with Musklike Olfactoric Properties

Starting from small cyclic ketones, continuous flow synthesis is used to produce medium-sized rings and macrocycles that are relevant for the fragrance industry. Triperoxides are important intermediates in this process and are pyrolyzed at temperatures above 250 °C. The synthesis is carried out in two continuously operated flow reactors connected by a membrane-operated separator. The practicality of flow chemistry is impressively demonstrated in this work by the use of hazardous reagent mixtures (30% H2O2, 65% HNO3) and the pyrolysis of no less problematic peroxides. All new macrocycles were tested for their olfactory properties in relation to musk.
