Jasmone
1. Basic Information
Name: Jasmone
Alias: cis-Jasmone, 3-Methyl-2-(2-penten-1-yl)-2-cyclopenten-1-one
CAS No.: 488-10-8
Molecular Formula: C??H??O
Molecular Weight: 164.24
Category: Natural floral aroma fragrance raw material, high-grade daily flavor monomer, food flavor additive, synthetic perfume intermediate
2. Physical and Chemical Properties
Physical Properties
- Appearance: Pale yellow to light amber transparent oily liquid
- Odor: Strong natural jasmine floral scent, mild fruity green undertone, long-lasting fragrance
- Solubility: Miscible with ethanol, propylene glycol, benzyl alcohol, ether, all common perfume solvents; slightly soluble in hot water, almost insoluble in cold water
- Melting Point: Below ?10 ℃
- Boiling Point: 254–256 ℃
- Density (20℃): 0.940–0.946 g/cm3
- Refractive Index n?2?: 1.495–1.500
- Flash Point: 102 ℃
- Hygroscopy: Non-hygroscopic
- Aqueous property: Neutral oily liquid, stable in neutral aqueous environment; slow oxidation under long-term heating and strong light
Chemical Properties
- Molecular structure: Cyclopentenone skeleton with methyl and cis-pentenyl side chain, contains conjugated carbonyl double bond, cis configuration determines characteristic jasmine aroma
- Conjugated carbonyl reactivity: Carbonyl can undergo aldol condensation, reduction, addition reaction for derivative synthesis of complex floral fragrances
- Double bond oxidation: Unsaturated side chain prone to oxidative deterioration under air, light and high temperature, darkens liquid and loses aroma
- Isomerization: Cis-jasmone will partially convert to trans-isomer under high temperature, aroma quality declines obviously
- Thermal stability: Stable below 120 ℃; prolonged heating above 180 ℃ causes polymerization and discoloration
- Photostability: Light-sensitive; UV irradiation accelerates oxidation, liquid turns deep brown
- Compatibility: Compatible with most perfume esters, alcohols, terpenoid raw materials; incompatible with strong oxidants, concentrated strong alkali
3. Main Application Fields
1. High-Grade Daily Fragrance (Core Application)
Core raw material for jasmine, tuberose, gardenia, orange blossom floral fragrances; widely used in perfume, high-end cosmetics, shampoo, body wash, soap flavor blending
2. Food & Beverage Flavor Additive
Allowed edible flavor monomer for tea, fruit candy, baked goods, tobacco flavors, adds natural floral green notes
3. Synthetic Fragrance Intermediate
Starting material for synthesizing dihydrojasmone, methyl dihydrojasmonate and other mass-produced jasmine series fragrance compounds
4. Aromatherapy Essential Oil Blending
Natural floral base for plant aromatherapy oil, enhances soft floral fragrance layering
