Synthesis of New Perfumes, the Esters of 2-Bicyclo[2.2.1]heptylmethanol

In extension of the assortment of synthetic perfumes we have synthesized the esters of monocarboxylic acids and 2-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptylmethanol by means of [4+2]-cycloaddition of cyclopenta-1,3-diene to allyl esters using tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]deca-3,8-diene as a starting substance, and 1,4-dioxyanthraquinone as polymerization inhibitor. The subsequent hydrogenation of obtained unsaturated esters of 5-bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-enylmethanol with nickel on Cr(III) oxide as a catalyst yielded the target products. The obtained esters of 2-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptylmethanol have a pleasant scent with a flower or fruit tinge, and they may be used as the components of synthetic perfumes and soap odorants.
