The present invention relates to a method for the production of 2-substituted 4-hydroxy-4-methyltetrahydropyrans from the acid-catalyzed reaction of 3-methylbut-3-ene-1-ol with an aldehyde, a stable odoriferous quality being achieved and avoiding off-odors that interfere with the odor sensation.

Disclosed herein are substituted compounds, salts, and pharmaceutical formulations thereof, for the treatment of a central nervous system disease or disorder.

The present invention relates to substituted 4-methylene-tetrahydropyrans, 4-methyl-dihydropyrans and 4-methyl-tetrahydropyrans of formula (I), where the variables are as defined in the claims and description, to a stereoisomer thereof, to a mixture of stereoisomers thereof, to a mixture of different di- and tetrahydropyrans (I) and to a mixture containing at least one di- or tetrahydropyran (I) and at least one cyclic acetal which is a 1,3-dioxan carrying in 2-position an isobutanol-2-yl-(derived) substituent and in 4,4- or 5,5-position two methyl substituents. The invention also relates to the use of such compounds as an aroma chemical and/or for modifying and/or enhancing the aroma of a composition, to compositions comprising such compounds, to methods for preparing such compounds and to a product obtainable by these methods. ##STR00001##

The present invention relates to new classes of odorous tetrahydropyran-4-ol derivatives of formula X and/or alkene derivatives thereof of formula Y1 and Y2 which are useful as fragrance or flavor materials in particular in providing camphoraceous, woody, earthy, and/or patchouli-like notes to perfume, aroma or deodorizing/masking compositions. The present invention also relates to fragrance, flavor and/or deodorizing/masking compositions comprising said new classes of odorous tetrahydropyran-4-ol derivatives and/or alkene derivatives thereof. ##STR00001##
