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???
