Helional
Helional (from heliotropin, from which is it commonly derived) is a chemical compound used as a perfume in soap and laundry detergent. Chemically it is an aldehyde with a hydrocinnamaldehyde motif; a structural element which is present in a number of other important commercial fragrances and odorants.[2]

Synthesis
Several synthetic routes exist but the most common is a crossed-aldol condensation between piperonal (heliotropin) and propanal followed by selective hydrogenation of the intermediate alkene. This produces a racemic product.
gollark: A dodecahedron's the dual polyhedron of an icosahedron IIRC. But then you have to ask "why an icosahedron", so that doesn't really answer things.
gollark: Not unless you want to enter the farlands.
gollark: These are clearly different colors.
gollark: Ridiculous. The debug overview *clearly* says the biome. You can't fake that.
gollark: There's not an xkcd about there being an xkcd for everything, is there?
