Substituted 1-oxyalkyl-2,6,6-trimethyl-cyclohexene derivatives, organoleptic uses thereof, syntheses for preparing same and intermediates used in said syntheses

摘要

Described are substituted 1-oxyalkyl-2,6,6- trimethylcyclohexene derivatives having the generic structure: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is one of OH, ##STR2## OMgX or H; R.sub.2 is ##STR3## OH, OMgX, CH.sub.3, H; R. sub.3 is one of methyl, ethyl, 1-propyl or 2-propyl; X is chloro, bromo or iodo; R.sub.6 is hydrogen or no moiety; one of the wavy lines is a carbon-carbon double and the other of the wavy lines is a carbon-carbon single bond; with the first proviso that when the .sup. 2,3 bond is a carbon-carbon double bond, then R.sub.6 is hydrogen and the moieties R. sub.6 and ##STR4## are so juxtaposed as to give rise to two different groups of stereoisomers of the molecular genus: ##STR5## and with the second proviso that when R.sub.1 is one of ##STR6## OH or OMgX then R.sub. 2 is hydrogen or methyl; and when R.sub.2 is one of ##STR7## OH or OMgX then R.sub.1 is hydrogen. Also described are processes for preparing such 1-oxyalkyl-2,6,6-trimethyl cyclohexene derivatives and organoleptic uses of such 1-oxyalkyl-2,6,6-trimethyl cyclohexene derivatives, with the exception of compounds wherein one of R.sub.1 or R. sub.2 is OMgX.
