Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fragrance and flavor technology, specifically to an ester compound with a grassy sweet aroma, its preparation method, and a floral and grassy sweet aroma base. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional violet fragrances rely on ionone compounds, but these molecules tend to have similar aroma characteristics. For example, the rose fragrance formula disclosed in patent CN110229717A, while simulating rose aroma through components such as phenylethyl alcohol and citronellol, does not involve the innovative construction of violet aroma. Similarly, although the tobacco flavoring industry has attempted to combine violet with tobacco aroma (such as the preparation method of a tobacco violet flower extract in patent CN201610896435.8), this is limited to aroma modification and has not broken through the chemical structure bottleneck of violet fragrance itself. In addition, the longevity of ionones is limited by their chemical structural stability, making them susceptible to factors such as light and oxidation in daily chemical products, resulting in insufficient aroma persistence. In view of this, the present invention has developed an ester compound with a grassy sweet aroma, giving the compound a special aromatic fragrance with a violet scent. This chemical has an elegant aroma and a long-lasting fragrance, making it important for use in the daily chemical fragrance industry. Currently, no domestic or international fragrance and flavor companies have launched this compound. Therefore, this compound has significant applications and broad market prospects in the fragrance field. Summary of the Invention
