Macrocyclic Musks

It is well known that ACS is the sole company worldwide producing Macrocyclic Musk using the Story Synthesis based on peroxide chemistry developed by Dr. Paul Story.

This very sophisticated synthesis leads to a macrocyclic lactone, Dihydro Ambrettolide (Hexadecanolide) and a macrocyclic ketone Romanone (Cyclopentadecanone). These 2 MCM’s are further refined to several unique musk specialties.

2018 was a very important year for ACS: we launched Ambrettolide HC Suprême, the first Macrocyclic Musk produced via Biotechnology on a commercial scale. Our High Cis Ambrettolide, reminiscent of Ambrette Seeds Oil, has far superior sensorial properties compared to (Trans) Ambrettolide.
