  Aleuritic - Manufacturer, exporter of Lac including Seedlac, Handmade Shellac, Machine Made Shellac, Dewaxed Flake ...
There is a continuous growing demand of aleuritic acid in the fields of perfumery and pharmaceuticals due to it being an excellent starting material for the synthesis of civetone, ambrettolide, isoambrettolide etc, which have the musk like odour.
Civetone is obtained from Shellac Aleuritic Acid, and is used for manufacturing of Perfumes.
Civetone is fast growing and is very much in demand with perfume manufacturing companies such as France, Italy, Germany, USA etc.

 Semiochemica - Network News
Muscone and civetone are two of the most important classical sources of musk odours for perfumes.
Civetone is extracted from civet, the secretion of the peri-anal gland of the civet cat.
Artificial civetone is easily identified by GC because it contains cis- and trans-isomers, whereas the natural material is entirely the cis-isomer.

By keeping African civets in captivity it is possible to extract the musk which is then refined into a compound, civetone, and used as a fixing agent in the perfume industry.
Civet musk and its refined compound, civetone, was first identified in the 1920s (Anonis 1997).
A mission comprising members of University of Pennsylvania, the Bronx Zoo, Cornell University and Chanel visited a number of civet musk farms in Ethiopia after the protests began though recommended only that the cages in which the civets were be enlarged (Hillman 1992, Pugh 1998).

 Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1939 - Presentation Speech
When studying the natural odorants occurring in musk and civet, muscone and civetone, little known until then, Ruzicka obtained fundamentally new and surprising results during the years 1924-1926.
He discovered that the molecule of muscone as well as that of civetone contains one single ring of carbon atoms, the number of which was considerably larger than that in all hitherto known cyclic molecules, larger even than had been considered possible.
During his investigations of these odora he synthesized many kindred macrocyclic compounds, and drew attention to the plant-physiologically remarkable fact that these could be prepared from natural fatty acids.

 Pheromones Explained   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Civet cats are tormented in cages as their aggressive response to the torments drastically increases the yield of their pheromone, called Civetone.
Both of which smell and in chemical structure are almost identical to ANDROSTENOL and ANDROSTENONE.
Muscone and Civetone have excited the perfumers for a long time with their mimicry of our bodily odours, but surely the human odours are naturally more effective and they also avoid cruelty to animals.

In 1926 he became professor of organic chemistry at the University of Utrecht in The Netherlands, and three years later he returned to Switzerland to become professor of chemistry at the Federal Institute of Technology.
Ruzicka's investigations of natural odoriferous compounds, begun in 1916, culminated in the discovery that the molecules of muskone and civetone, important to the perfume industry, contain rings of 15 and 17 carbon atoms, respectively.
Before this discovery, rings with more than eight atoms had been unknown and indeed had been believed to be too unstable to exist.

 Perfume imitates nature
Some perfumes use pheromones from the animal world.
"Civetone", for example, comes from both male and female civet cats and musk comes from male musk oxen.
Both pheromones are used to mark territory and to attract the attention of the opposite sex.

Civet is a semisolid, yellowish to brown, unpleasant smelling substance from anal glands of the civet cat.
The isolated component civetone, produces a pleasant musky odor when used in extreme dilutions.
It has been in popular use in perfumery since the 10th century.

Like skatole, its role is to help blend a mix of flavors or fragrances together.
But today a cheaper synthetic version, civetone, has replaced the real thing in most products except high-end perfumes.
One member of the scatological fragrance family hasn't yet been synthetically replicated: castoreum.

The synthetic route to compound 27 is depicted in FIG.
Starting from civetone 22, the silated cyanohydrin 23 can be formed by reaction with trimethylsilyl cyanide.
The cyanohydrin can be converted to the alpha -hydroxy acid 24 via reduction with stannous chloride and hydrochloric acid.
