Chirality & Odour Perception Photo by permission of M. Roudintska - As of April 6, 2010 You must have Java installed to view the molecular visualization. Chirality & Odour Perception It had been recognized by chemists in the flavor & fragrance industry since the beginning of the 20th century that certain enantiomeric chemicals, such as menthol and carvone had different & differentiating organoleptic properties. Perhaps the first rigorously definitive works were by Julius von Braun culminating in the synthesis and odor evaluation of the enantiomers of 3,5-dimethylcyclohexanone and the 3,5-dimethylcyclohexanols (see Geruch und molekulare Asymmetrie, IV. Mitteilung: Die drei 1.3-Dimethylcyclohexanone-5 und die vier 1.3-Dimethyl-cyclohexanole-5, Berichte der deutschen chemischen Gesellschaft (A and B Series), Volume 60, Issue 11, Date: 7. Dezember 1927, Pages: 2438-2446).
