The following information is

from the pheromones reference library...

- -nol to -none conversion

There have been a lot of

discussions in the forum about this issue... The truth is that the conversion from -nol to -none does happen, but it

won't be a big issue for -nol products users.

Androstenol (which is a secondary alcohol)

differs from androstenone (which is a ketone)

because of two hydrogen atoms that the latter lacks: these can be converted to water if an adequate catalyst is

present. The chemical reaction would be as follows:

C19H30O

(androstenol) + (oxygen) = C19H28O

(androstenone) + H2O

Luckily, in the

usual wearing conditions, there isn't a catalyst strong enough to make this reaction happen fast, so the -nol will

anyway convert to -none since it's exposed to oxidation, but it's going to happen very slowly. To get the idea

SoE, which contains -nol, is reported to first show signs of -none alteration only after 8 hours from first

application.

Yea so like I said before this is where I read it starts converting after 8 hours...
I

guess that's old information???
