Other names :
Ambrinol S ; Amber naphtalenol ; Ambrinol-alpha ; Alpha-ambrinol ; Ambrinol 95 ; 2-hydroxy-2,5,5-trimethyl-1,2,3,4,4a,5,6,7-octahydronaphtalene ; 1,2,3,4,4a,5,6,7-octahydro-2,5,5-trimethyl-2-naphtalenol ; 2,5,5-trimethyl-octahydro-2-naphtalenol
Volatility :
Base
Uses in perfumery :
Ambrinol is used to reproduce the natural Ambergris smell, bringing an animalic, sensual and ambery note, with a fixative effect.
Natural availability :
Ambrinol is one of the components of Ambergris, previously used for its sensual and animalic notes, and extracted as a tincture in alcohol. Then, only synthetic Ambrinol is used for perfumery.
Year of discovery :
Data not available.
Other comments :
Ambrinol can be compared with Ambrein or DihydroBeta-Ionone, as it is used to reproduce the smell of natural Ambergris.
Price Range :
€€€€
Stability :
Stable in perfumes and various functionnal bases.

Synthesis route :
Ambrinol can be synthesized thanks to Beta-Ionone. This molecule can undergo thermolysis (chemical decomposition under the effect of heat), bringing dehydroambrinol. Hydrogenation in methanol, in the presence of Raney nickel catalysor leads to Ambrinol.
Synthesis precursor :
Ambrinol is not a precursor for the synthesis of another material used in perfumery.
Isomerism :
Ambrinol frequently used in perfumes is Alpha-Ambrinol. Beta-Ambrinol also exists, but is much less used. On the other hand, Ambrinol has one asymmetric carbon, giving birth to two possible enantiomers for this molecule. It is anyway a mixture of these isomers that is used in perfumery.
Eventually, Ambrinol also is a constitutional isomer of DihydroBeta-ionone, also prepared from Beta-Ionone.
