(cis+trans)-1,1,2,3,3-pentamethyl-2,3,3a,4,5,9b-hexahydro-1H-7,9-diazacyclopenta[a]naphthalene

(cis+trans)-1,1,2,3,3-pentamethyl-2,3,3a,4,5,9b-hexahydro-1H-7,9-diazacyclopenta[a]naphthalene is an organic compound notable for its distinctive amber odor profile featuring musky and woody notes at high purity. It is a bicyclic amine derivative characterized by extensive methyl substitution and a hexahydro-diazacyclopenta[a]naphthalene core structure. The compound is listed in chemical databases such as PubChem and is recognized by its unique chemical name. It is not commercially utilized in fragrance or flavor formulations but is primarily referenced for informational and research purposes. Its chemical structure suggests potential interest in synthetic and analytical chemistry contexts, derived often through specialized laboratory synthesis rather than natural sourcing.

This compound does not naturally occur in biological systems and is not used in flavor or fragrance applications. Its utility lies in chemical research and reference contexts, often cited for its distinctive amber-type odor perception. The regulatory status under frameworks like REACH (European Union) classifies it as not intended for consumer product use, specifically excluding it from fragrance or flavor categories. Its unique sensory profile involving amber, musky, and woody notes could hypothetically inspire synthetic analogues; however, this compound presently serves informational roles.

The compound exhibits a bicyclic, hexahydro structural framework with multiple methyl groups contributing to molecular stability and hydrophobicity. These features influence its solubility and volatility, attributes significant for its odor perception in vapor phase. The amine functionalities, fused within the heterocyclic rings, affect its basicity and potential chemical reactivity. Its amber odor character arises from these combined structural motifs, yet it remains chemically inert under standard handling conditions. Physical properties such as melting point and vapor pressure are consistent with moderately nonvolatile bicyclic amine systems. These characteristics guide its handling and analytical profiling in laboratory settings.
