Ether carbinols, process for preparing same, products produced according to said processes containing said ether carbinols, organoleptic uses thereof, ether carboxaldehydes and organoleptic uses thereof

Abstract

Abstract Described are ether carbinols defined according to the generic structure: ##STR1## wherein X 1 represents a moiety selected from the group consisting of: ##STR2## and wherein Y 1 represents C 4 or C 5 alkylene; C 4 or C 5 alkenylene or C 4 or C 5 alkynylene; processes for preparing such ether carbinols by means of first reacting allyl ethers with a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen by means of an oxo reaction to produce ether carboxaldehydes and then reducing the thus formed ether carboxaldehydes to ether carbinols; or reacting camphene with appropriate diols; as well as methods for augmenting or enhancing the aroma or taste of consumable materials including perfumes, colognes and perfumed articles; foodstuffs, chewing gums, chewing tobaccos, medicinal products and toothpastes; and smoking tobaccos and smoking tobacco articles by adding thereto an aroma or taste augmenting or enhancing quantity of the thus produced ether carbinols. Also described are two ether carboxaldehydes having one of the structures: ##STR3## processes for preparing such ether carboxaldehydes by means of reacting out an appropriate allyl ether with a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen by means of an oxo-reaction as well as methods for augmenting or enhancing the aroma or taste of consumable materials including perfumes, colognes and perfumed articles; foodstuffs, chewing gums, chewing tobaccos, medicinal products and toothpastes; smoking tobaccos and smoking tobacco articles by adding thereto an aroma or taste augmenting or enhancing quantity of the thus produced ether carboxaldehydes.
