Gum Rosin

Gum Rosin, also known as colophony or Greek pitch, is a solid resin derived from pine trees and some other plants, primarily conifers. It is produced by heating fresh liquid resin, which causes the volatile terpene components to evaporate. The result is a semi-transparent solid that ranges in color from yellow to black. Rosin is brittle at room temperature but melts at relatively low temperatures, such as those achieved on a stove. Its primary chemical components are resin acids, especially abietic acid.

Gum Rosin which preparated from China is commonly used in industries such as paper production, paint, soap, and printing ink. Since rosin tends to soften and oxidize easily, the oil paint industry often uses carboxylation of resin acids to produce resinates for further use. In the production of synthetic rubber and printing inks, resin acids undergo processes such as disproportionation, polymerization, or hydrogenation to form disproportionated rosin, polymerized rosin, or hydrogenated rosin, respectively. These reactions typically involve altering the double bonds in the resin acids to achieve the desired properties.

Isolongifolanone

Isolongifolanone is a mixture of isomer liquid with persistent woody and earthy odors, and it smells like the odor of patchouli and rock orchid. There are two preparation methods. One is to isomerize longifolene, the sesquiterpenes composition of heavy turpentine oil, into Isolongifolene under acidic conditions, and then through Hydrogen peroxide oxidation reaction in the presence of formic acid to produce Isolongifolanone. The other preparation process of Isolongifolanone is to oxidize low concentration hydrogen peroxide in the presence of formic acid. It is widely used in fragrance formulation.

According to U.S. Patent No.3718698 that Isolongifolanone can be oxidized with sodium dichromate in acetic acid to provide a mixture of saturated and unsaturated ketones. It was further suggested in this Netherlands specification that the mixture of compounds so obtained could be used in perfume compositions. The mixture so formed contained relatively small amounts of saturated ketone.

The other process is the preparation of a sesquiterpene ketone, e.g. cedranone, isolongifolanone and thujopsanone, wherein a C15H24 sesquiterpene hydrocarbon having an endocyclic double bond, e.g. cedrene, isolongifolene and thujopsene, is reacted with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a C1-5 alkyl formate.
