Novel decenal mixtures and their use in perfume compositions

a technology of decenal mixture and perfume composition, which is applied in the direction of perfume formulations, detergent compounding agents, biocide, etc., can solve the problems of complex and expensive procedures, unpredictable commercial scale production of fragrance molecules, and synthesis of dec-8-enal, etc., to enhance, improve or modify the fragrance of perfumes, colognes, etc.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The novel decenal mixture enhances fragrance formulations with clean, aldehydic, crispy, and green notes, offering superior odor characteristics when used within the specified ratios, while ratios outside these ranges result in off-notes, making it suitable for various perfumery and personal care applications.

Problems solved by technology

However, whether the production of a given fragrance molecule can be carried out at a commercial scale is sometimes unpredictable.
However, the generic structure as taught covers a wide range of compounds and the synthetic method as described cannot lead to the synthesis of dec-8-enal.
They were extracted from natural resources or synthesized via methods that required multi-steps and suffered from long reaction times leading to complex and expensive procedures.
More importantly, nothing set forth in the prior art discloses a mixture of dec-6-enal, dec-7-enal, and dec-8-enal having specified ratios.

example i

[0037]

Preparation of 6,7,8-Decene-1-ol (Mixture of 6-Decene-1-ol, 7-Decene-1-ol, and 8-Decene-1-ol)

[0038]A reaction flask was charged with toluene (500 g), 9-decenol (Rosalva) (500 g), and rhodium trichloride (RhCl3) (1.25 g). Water (2 g) was added. The reaction mixture was heated with stirring to about 65-80° C. The reaction mixture was heated for about 20 hours till a steady state of 6,7,8-decene-1-ol isomers was reached. The reaction mixture was then cooled. The organic layer was transferred to a rush-over distillation flask and Primol oil (15 g) was added. Toluene was then removed at atmospheric pressure. The crude product was distilled to afford 6,7,8-decene-1-ol (463 g) having a boiling point of 98° C. at a pressure of 3.2 mmHg The broken line in the above formula of 6,7,8-decene-1-ol represents one double bond and two single bonds.

[0039]6,7,8-Decene-1ol was described as having aldehydic, green, floral, rosy, and waxy notes.

example ii

[0040]

[0041]Preparation of Dec-6-enal (Formulas II), Dec-7-enal (Formulas III), And Dec-8-enal (Formulas IV)

[0042]A reaction flask was charged with Primol oil (100 g) and Pricat catalyst (25 g, commercially available at Johnson Matthey Catalysts). The reaction mixture was heated with stirring to about 250-290° C. The mixture of 6,7,8-decene-1ol (238 g, synthesized as above in EXAMPLE I) was then added slowly while the temperature was maintained at about 290-295° C. The reaction was vented properly during the reaction. After the reaction was completed, the reaction mixture was transferred into a distillation flask and further fractional distillation afforded the mixture of Formulas II, III, and IV (141 g) having a boiling point of 80° C. at a pressure of 6.8-7.8mmHg It was surprisingly found that the double bond position along the carbon chain could be specified and only careful control of the reaction conditions in both steps (EXAMPLEs I and II) would lead to the desired decenal iso...

Preparation And Evaluation of Dec-6-enal, Dec-7-enal, And Dec-8-enal Mixture of Different Ratios

[0049]The decenal mixture (synthesized as above in EXAMPLE II) was further carefully distilled through a GOODLOE column with high theoretical plates to afford a series of decenal mixture of different mixing ratios.

[0050]The following specific mixture samples were evaluated for odor properties:

Description

STATUS OF RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. provisional patent application Ser. No. 61 / 579,642, filed Dec. 22, 2011, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to novel decenal mixtures and the incorporation and use of these mixtures as fragrance materials.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]There is an ongoing need in the fragrance industry to provide chemicals with strong odors so that less fragrance is needed to accomplish the desired odor effect. This, therefore, gives perfumers and other persons the freedom to create new fragrances for perfumes, colognes and personal care products without the limitation of cost. In addition to odor strength, practical considerations such as the scale of synthesis operation may also determine the applicability of identified fragrance molecules in commercial use. However, whether the production of a given fragrance molecule can be carried out a...
