| | IRONE Usage And Synthesis |
| Description | α-Irone has a characteristic orris and violet-like odor. The commercially prepared product corresponds generally to the α-isomer. | | Chemical Properties | α- Irone has a rich, floral and natural character and constitutes an important element in orris and violet compositions as
well as being useful when an exotic nuance is required. α-Irone is extremely diffusive, and it gives volume and tenacity to compositions. In combination with α-irisone (1:20, respectively) gives a natural orris effect. | | Chemical Properties | Yellowish liquid; Soluble in alcohol. A mixture of three isomers (α-, βand γ-irone). | | Occurrence | Reported found in orris root, raspberry and flowers of Pittosporum sp | | Uses | Perfumery, violet odor. The α isomer is also
used as a flavoring agent. | | Definition | ChEBI: A methyl ketone that is alpha-ionone in which a hydrogen at position 5 of the cyclohex-2-en-1-yl ring is substituted by a methyl group. | | Preparation | By intramolecular thermal H-ene reaction of an allysilane. | | Taste threshold values | Taste characteristics at 10 ppm: woody, fruity, raspberry, orris, and berry with seedy nuances.
| | General Description | Irone is a bioactive compound that is produced by an endophytic fungus in the rhizomes of Iris germanica. | | Purification Methods | If large amounts are available, then fractionate through a Podbielniak column (p 10) or an efficient spinning band column, but small amounts are distilled using a Kügelrohr apparatus. The 4-phenylsemicarbazone has m 174-175o (165-165.5o).
