Macrocyclic triene lactones having unconjugated triene structure, its production method and its synthetic intermediate

Abstract

The present invention provides a novel macrocyclic compound exhibiting superior odor qualities and having a musk-like aroma, a method for producing the same, and a novel flavor or fragrance composition, and food products or beverages, fragrances or cosmetics, daily necessities or household goods and oral products using the novel macrocyclic compound. The invention relates to a compound represented by the formula (1), wherein each of wavy lines represents at least one of an E-configuration of C═C double bond and an Z-configuration of C═C double bond; m represents an integer of 0 to 10; and n represents an integer of 1 to 11, and n represents an integer of 1 to 11 when m is 0 to 4 or 6 to 10, and n is an integer of 1 or 3 to 11 when m is 5.
