Summary Substitution of the (CH3)2CH=CH group by (CH3)2C=N in linalool as well as by the (CH3)2CH-CH2 group in linalool and in sila-linalool does not lead to noticeable changes of their scent qualities. On the contrary, substitution of the OH group at the tertiary C atom by NH2 or CH3 — hydride isosteric to OH according toGrimm — affords fishy or etheric instead of the original flowery smells thus indicating a transition to different basic classes of odor. Similar results were obtained with the linalool-like scents of benzyldimethylcarbinol and phenylethyldimethylcarbinol. Therefore the theory ofAmoore, after which only shape and size of molecules are ruling their odor qualities, must be called in question.
