Ionone Uses

 Ionone (CAS NO.8013-90-9) can be used as synthetic food flavouring.

Ionone Production

 Ionone can be made from citral and acetone with calcium oxide as a basic heterogeneous catalysis. The nucleophilic addition of the carbanion 3 of acetone 1 to the carbonylgroup on citral 4 is base catalysed. The aldol condensation product 5 eliminates water through the enolate ion 6 to the pseudoionone 7.

The reaction proceeds by acid catalysis where the double bond in 7 opens to form the carbocation 8. A rearrangement reaction of the carbocation follows with ring closure to 9. Finally a hydrogen atom can be abstracted from 9 by an acceptor molecule (Y) to form either 10 (extended conjugated system) or 11.
