Abstract

Odor qualities and odor thresholds in air in homologous series of synthesized alk-1-en-3-ols and alka-1, 5-dien-3-ols and their corresponding ketones were evaluated by gas chromatography–olfactometry. In the series of the alk-1-en-3-ols and alk-1-en-3-ones the odor quality changed successively from pungent for the compounds with five carbon atoms via metallic, vegetable-like for the six-and seven-carbon odorants to mushroom-like for the ...
