Abstract

The present invention relates to substituted cyclohexane derivatives having the structure: ##STR1## wherein the dotted line may be a carbon-carbon double bond or a carbon-carbon single bond; wherein R₁, R₂, R₃, R₄, R₅, R₆, R₇ and R₈ may be hydrogen or lower alkyl; wherein Z may be any of the following: ##STR2## wherein R₉ may be hydrogen or lower alkyl; and wherein R₁₀ and R₁₁ are lower alkyl. This invention also provides methods of preparing and using the compounds as odor-modifying ingredients in perfumes and perfumed products, and as flavor-modifying ingredients in foodstuffs and tobacco products.

Claims

1. A smoking composition comprising a smoking material and at least 0.0001% by weight of one or more of the substituted cyclic compounds having the structure:

##STR46## wherein the dotted line may be a carbon-carbon double bond or a carbon-carbon single bond;

wherein each of R₁, R₂, R₃, R₄, R₅, R₆ and R₇ may be hydrogen or lower alkyl;

wherein Z may be any of the following;

##STR47## wherein R₉ is hydrogen or lower alkyl; and

wherein R₁₀ and R₁₁ are lower alkyl.
