Usage

Uses

Used in Flavor Industry:
FEMA 3227 is used as a flavoring agent for its characteristic cooked onion aroma and taste. It is commonly employed in the development of food products, beverages, and confectionery items to impart a rich, onion-like flavor.
Used in Fragrance Industry:
In addition to its use in the flavor industry, FEMA 3227 is also utilized as a fragrance ingredient. Its distinct onion-like scent can be incorporated into various personal care products, such as perfumes, soaps, and lotions, to create unique and appealing scents.

Preparation

Treatment of 1-ethylthio-2-propenylthioethene with NaNH2 in liquid ammonia results in formation of Na-1-propenethiolate; which reacts with S-propyl propanethiosulfonate to give propenyl propyl disulfide in good yield.

Process for the production of isosolanone and solanone, intermediates useful in said process and organoleptic uses of said intermediates

Described is a novel genus of compounds defined according to the structure: STR1 wherein Z represents hydrogen, MgX and the moiety having the structure: STR2 and X represents chlor, bromo, or iodo; as well as 5-isopropyl-8-methyl-5,8-nonadien-2-one; uses of same as intermediates in a process for producing isosolanone and solanone; and organoleptic uses of 5-isopropyl-8-methyl-5,8-nonadien-2-one and 2,6-dimethyl-5-methylene-1-hepten-4-ol. The novel process of our invention involved the steps of: (i) formation of the compound having the structure: STR3 by means of reacting 3-methyl-2-methylenebutanal with the compound having the structure: STR4 (ii) acid hydrolysis of the resulting compound in order to form 2,6-dimethyl-5-methylene-1-heptene-4-ol; (iii) reaction of 2,6-dimethyl-5-methylene-1-hepten-4-ol with methyl aceto acetate in order to form 2,6-dimethyl-5-methylene-1-hepten-4-yl aceto acetate or, directly, 5-isopropyl-8-methyl-5,8-nonadiene-2-one; (iv) reacting 2,6-dimethyl-5-methylene-1-hepten-4-yl aceto acetate in the presence of an appropriate catalyst to form the 5-isopropyl-8-methyl-5,8-nonadiene-2-one; and (v) isomerizing the 5-isopropyl-8-methyl-5,8-nonadien-2-one in order to form a mixture of solanone and the isosolanone or 5-isopropyl-8-methyl-5,8-nonadiene-2-one.
