The present invention relates to the use of 1-(4,4-dimethylcyclohexyl)ethanone, 1-(4,4-dimethylcyclohex-1-en-1-yl)ethanone, 1-(4,4-dimethylcyclohexyl)ethanol, 1-(4,4-dimethylcyclohexyl)ethyl acetate and 1-(2-hydroxy-4,4-dimethylcyclohexyl)ethanone as a fragrance substance, in particular with a flowery and/or fruity olfactory characteristic. The present invention further relates to fragrance compositions and perfumed products comprising the compounds listed above. The present invention also relates to a method producing perfumed products and a method producing 1-(4,4-dimethylcyclohexyl)ethanol or 1-(4,4-dimethylcyclohexyl)ethyl acetate. Further, the invention relates to the compounds 1-(4,4-dimethylcyclohexyl)ethyl acetate, 1-(4,4-dimethylcyclohexyl)ethanol and 1-(2-hydroxy-4,4-dimethylcyclohexyl)ethanone.

Processes for stereoselective preparation of a chiral alcohol or a chiral amine are described. The processes include reacting a first prochiral reactant selected from the group consisting of a ketone, an aldehyde, and an imine, with a second reactant that includes a Grignard reagent, in the presence of a chiral trans-diamine of formula (1) as defined herein: ##STR00001##
