Patent ID: 8133856

Claim:
Mixture comprising one or more cis-3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexyl esters and one or more trans-3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexyl esters, wherein the proportion of cis-3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexyl esters exceeds that of trans-3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexyl esters, wherein the cis- and trans-3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexyl esters are each mutually independently selected from the group consisting of 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexyl acetate, 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexyl propionate, 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexyl isobutyrate, 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexyl butyrate, 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexyl crotonate, 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexyl tiglinate and 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexyl-3-methyl-2-butenoate, where the mixture comprises at least 80 wt % cis-3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexyl esters and said trans-3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexyl ester being present in an amount of more than 0 wt % and 0 no more than 20 wt %, based on a total mass of the mixture.
