Chemical properties

TRASEOLIDE is a musk fragrance that is prepared from toluene and isobutanoyl chloride by a Friedel–Crafts reaction that yields p-tolyl isopropyl ketone; the ketone is reduced to the corresponding alcohol. Chlorination and treatment with 2-methyl-2-butene yield 1 (cipher)- isopropyl-2,3,3,5-tetramethylindane, which gives the title compound through a Friedel–Crafts reaction with acetyl chloride:
It is used in perfume compositions for soaps and detergents.
