6-isopropyl-1,3,3-trimethyl-2,9-dioxa-bicyclo[3.3.1] nonan-4-ol

6-isopropyl-1,3,3-trimethyl-2,9-dioxa-bicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-4-ol is a bicyclic chemical compound characterized by its distinctive burnt and animal-like odor profile. It falls within the class of oxygen-containing bicyclic molecules and is identified by several synonyms reflecting minor variations in naming conventions. The compound is typically presented as a pure substance used in research contexts rather than commercial applications, especially fragrance or flavoring. Its structural formula includes two oxygen atoms within a bicyclic framework and methyl and isopropyl substituents affecting its chemical behavior. Sourced primarily through synthetic organic chemistry routes, it is catalogued within public chemical databases such as PubChem. This compound is not commonly found in natural products and remains a subject of interest due to its sensory attributes rather than its utility in consumer products.

This compound does not occur naturally and is produced synthetically for investigational purposes. It is not used in commercial fragrance or flavor formulations, as confirmed by standard safety and regulatory information. According to safety categorizations, including those relevant under OSHA (US) guidelines, this substance does not have established hazard classifications but lacks recommendations for use in consumer products. Its burnt odor character has been documented at a 1.00 % concentration in dipropylene glycol, yet it remains limited to informational and research settings without applications in perfumery or taste modification. This restriction aligns with safety assessments and regulatory frameworks such as REACH (European Union), which oversee chemical use in consumer goods.

The compound's bicyclic structure incorporating two oxygen atoms contributes to its chemical stability and unique odor profile. The presence of isopropyl and methyl groups affects its volatility and solubility characteristics, which, combined with its moderate molecular complexity, influence its behavior in solvents like dipropylene glycol. It exhibits a burnt, animal-like odor that manifests significantly at low concentrations, indicating a potent sensory impact. Physically, the compound does not have widely published boiling or melting points but is stable under typical ambient conditions. Its limited commercial use reflects constraints related to odor character and lack of functional utility in formulations.
