Abstract
Abstract Described are polyalkyl-substituted oxocycloheptane derivatives defined according to the structure: ##STR1## wherein X represents one of the moieties: ##STR2## wherein one of the dashed lines is a carbon-carbon double bond and the other of the dashed lines is a carbon-carbon single bond; or both dashed lines are carbon-carbon single bonds; wherein R 1 and R 2 represents hydrogen or lower alkyl with the proviso that when the dashed line at the 4-5 position is a double bond, R 2 is hydrogen and when the dashed line at the 3-4 position is a double bond, R 1 is hydrogen; wherein R 4 represents C 1 -C 4 lower alkyl; and wherein Y represents chloro or bromo. Also described are the organoleptic uses of said polyalkyl-substituted oxocycloheptane derivatives in augmenting or enhancing the aroma of perfume compositions, colognes and perfumed articles including solid or liquid aninonic, cationic, nonionic or zwitterionic detergents, fabric softener articles, fabric softener compositions and perfumed polymers. Also described are the processes for preparing said polyalkyl-substituted oxocycloheptane derivatives.
