Claims
- 1. An odorant composition which contains, in admixture with at least one other odor imparting ingredient, a mixture of a compound of the formula: ##STR38## and a compound of the formula: ##STR39## in a ratio of I/II from 4 to 1 to 200 to 1. wherein: (a) R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 represent a hydrogen atom or a methyl, propyl, vinyl, propenyl or allyl group;
- (b) R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5, R.sub.6, R.sub.7, R.sub.8 and R.sub.9 each represent a hydrogen atom or a methyl or ethyl group;
- (c) the dotted lines represent an optional bond when R.sub.1 and/or R.sub.2 is hydrogen, methyl or propyl, and an obligatory bond when R.sub.1 and/or R.sub.2 represents a propenyl, vinyl or allyl group; and
- (d) the 5,11 double bond is only saturated when the remainder of the molecule is saturated.
- 2. A composition of claim 1 containing a mixture of megastigma-5(11),8-dien-4,7-oxide and 2,2,5-trimethyl-8-(prop-1-enyl)-7-oxabicyclo[3.3.0]-octane in a ratio of about ten to one.
- 3. A composition of claim 1 containing a mixture of 8-methyl megastigma-5(11),8-dien-4,7-oxide and 2,2,5-trimethyl-8-(1-methylprop-1-enyl)-7-oxabicyclo[3.3.0]octane in a ratio of about 9 to 1.
- 4. An odorant composition containing, in admixture with at least one other odor imparting ingredient, a compound of the formula: ##STR40## wherein: (a) R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 represent a hydrogen atom or a methyl, propyl, vinyl, propenyl or allyl group;
- (b) R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5, R.sub.6, R.sub.7, R.sub.8 and R.sub.9 each represent a hydrogen atom or a methyl or ethyl group;
- (c) the dotted lines represent an optional bond when R.sub.1 and/or R.sub.2 is hydrogen, methyl or propyl and an obligatory bond when R.sub.1 and/or R.sub.2 represents a propenyl, vinyl or allyl group; and
- (d) the 5,11-bond is only saturated when the remainder of the molecule is saturated;
- excepting mixtures containing megastigma-5(11),8-dien-4,7-oxide added as part of a mixture which is derived from, or is identical to one derived from, natural sources.
- 5. An odorant composition which contains, in admixture with at least one other odor imparting ingredient, a compound of the formula: ##STR41## wherein: (a) R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 represent a hydrogen atom or a methyl, propyl, vinyl, propenyl or allyl group;
- (b) R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.7, R.sub.8 and R.sub.9 represent a hydrogen atom or a methyl or ethyl group; and
- (c) the dotted lines represent an optional bond when R.sub.1 and/or R.sub.2 is hydrogen methyl or propyl and an obligatory bond when R.sub.1 and/or R.sub.2 represents a propenyl, vinyl or allyl group.
