i
wherein the wavy line represents either a carbon-carbon single bond or a carbon-carbon double bond; and wherein the dashed lines represent either a carbon-carbon single bond or a carbon-carbon double bond such that two of the three dashed lines represent carbon-carbon single bonds ; and wherein each R' and R" , when taken separately, is either hydrogen or a methyl group.
2. A norbornyl-substituted pyran according to claim 1 having the structure:
3. A norbornyl-substituted pyran according to claim 1 having the structure:
4 . A norbornyl-substituted pyran according to claim 3 having the structure :
5. A norbornyl-substituted pyran according to claim 3 having the structure :
6. A fragrance composition which comprises a norbornyl-substituted pyran of the formula:
wherein the wavy line represents either a carbon-carbon single bond or a carbon-carbon double bond;
and wherein the dashed lines represent either a carbon-carbon single bond or a carbon-carbon double bond such that two of the three dashed lines represent carbon-carbon single bonds; and wherein each R' and R" , when taken separately, is either hydrogen or a methyl group in combination with conventional fragrance ingredients, said pyran being present in an amount effective to impart fragrance to said composition.
7. A fragrance composition in accordance with claim 6 wherein said effective fragrance-imparting
amount is an amount from about 0.1% to about 80% by weight of said compound based upon the weight of
said composition.
8. A fragrance composition according to claim 6 wherein said norbornyl-substituted pyran has the
structure:
9. A fragrance composition in accordance with claim 8 wherein said effective fragrance-imparting
amount is an amount from about 0.1% to about 80% by weight of said compound based upon the weight of said composition.
10. A fragrance composition according to claim 6 wherein said norbornyl-substituted pyran has the structure
11. A fragrance composition in accordance with claim 10 wherein said effective fragrance-imparting amount is an amount from about 0.1% to about 80% by weight of said compound based upon the weight of said composition.
