What is Timberol?
Timberol, originally produced by Dragoco (now Symrise) is the HC (high-cis or Cis-rich) racemic Mixture of 1-(2,2,6-Trimethylcyclohexyl)hexan-3-ol and is commercially used as a fragrance raw material for woody ambery fragrance compounds.
The Racemic HT mixture (High-trans or Trans-rich) is called Norlimbanol and is produced by Firmenich (patented in early 2000).
Speaking of the differences in odor of these two geometrical isomers, the trans-isomer (Norlimbanol) is known to be stronger and contributes more of an amber-like odour than the cis-form (Timberol).
