WHAT IS HEDIONE?
Not commercial name: Methyl Dihydrojasmonate
This ester, only βrecentlyβ brought into the market as a commercially available perfume chemical, is intended for use in artificial Jasmin absolute, Jasmin and Tuberose bases, and as a trace additive in powerfully floral fragrances.
It serves as an economical substitute for Methyl jasmonate (post coming) but does not have the overwhelming sweetness and diffusive power of that material.
In 1969, the title ester cost nearly twice as much as Jasmin absolute from Italian concrete.
Methyl dihydro jasmonate is said to smell less intensive as its purity increases. When you have perceived this substance once, you have the impression of blossoming flowers everywhere in nature, especially in springtime. The sensation is a kind of radiation, which conjures up the picture of a sunbeam sizzling your nose into a springtime feel.
The compound that without a doubt has most influenced modern perfumery and has allowed great artists to develop their ideas with inspiration. It was used for the first time in Eau Sauvage and in Diorissimo, and it has become famous because it gives compositions a delicate, fresh, smooth, radiant, warm, elegant character that blends well with all kinds of perfumes from floral-citrus to woody, chypre and oriental.
PRODUCTION:
from 2-Pentylcyclopenten-2-one with Ethylmalonate, followed by saponification and decarboxylation to the acid, from which the ester is obtained with methanol.
