Description

"Compounds to provide a long-lasting odor" FIELD OF TECHNIQUE

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of perfumery. More specifically, it relates to compounds of formula (I) capable of imparting a lasting or consistent odor to the environment. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method for imparting a lasting odor to the environment or to surfaces, such as hard surfaces, fabrics, skin or hair. In addition, the present invention relates to the use of said compounds in perfumery, as well as to perfume compositions or perfumed articles comprising the compounds of the invention. PRIOR ART

[0002] Consumers generally correlate the effectiveness of scented items to the longevity or substantivity of the fragrance's longevity. Perfumes are composed of a multitude of different volatile compounds, which are applied to a surface from which they evaporate to be inhaled. Perfume is applied to the environment or to surfaces, such as hard surfaces, fabric, skin, or hair, by means of a perfume composition or a scented consumer item, for example, fine fragrances or shower gels. Due to the high volatility of the fragrances that constitute perfumes, the odor emanating from the perfumed surface can only be perceived for a limited period of time. Specifically, the so-called top notes of a perfume evaporate very quickly. They are the most volatile compounds in the composition and represent the freshness of a perfume.Top notes typically include citrus, floral, green, and fruity notes, among others, with floral and fruity notes being particularly well-liked by consumers. Various classes of floral and fruity notes are used in perfumes. Typical examples of fruity notes are those reminiscent of peach, apricot, and exotic fruits.

[0003] Consumers seek fragrances that are stable upon application and at the same time long-lasting or consistent so that they last for several hours or even days after application. Specifically, long-lasting fruity and floral notes are desirable. Petition 870220074448, dated 08 / 18 / 2022, page 10 / 85 2 / 71

[0004] Therefore, the objective of the present invention is to provide a system that is stable for delivering a long-lasting or consistent odor, specifically a fruity and / or floral odor, to the environment. Furthermore, another objective of the present invention is to provide a method for imparting a long-lasting odor of cyclopentanone-derived perfumery ingredients known for their fruity and / or floral organoleptic properties to surfaces, such as hard surfaces, fabrics, skin, or hair, by applying the perfume composition or perfumed articles. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0005] It has been found that some specific compounds, namely multicyclic compounds derived from cyclopentanone-based perfume ingredients, can be advantageously employed to generate a long-lasting or consistent perfume effect, specifically a fruity and / or floral note, on a given surface in the environment and, therefore, be useful as ingredients for perfume composition or for perfumed articles.

[0006] Therefore, a first object of the present invention is a compound of the formula in the form of any one of its stereoisomers or a mixture thereof, where n is 1, 2, 3 or 4; The dotted line represents a single bond or a double bond.

[0007] For the sake of clarity, the expression any of its stereoisomers or a mixture thereof or similar means the normal meaning understood by a person skilled in the art, that is, that the compound of formula (I) may be a pure enantiomer (optically active case) or a diastereomer. In other words, the compound of formula (I) may possess several stereocenters, and each of said stereocenters may have two different stereochemistries (e.g., R or S). The compound of formula (I) may even be in the form of a pure enantiomer or in the form of a mixture of enantiomers or diastereomers. The compound of formula (I) may be in a racemic form or in a scalemic form.

Preferably, the compound of Formula (I) can be 2-(5-hexenyl)tetra-hydrospiro[cyclopentano-1,3'pyrrole[1,2-c]imidazole]-1 '(2'H)-one or 2-petyltetra-hydroespiro[cyclopentane-1,3'pyrrole[1,2-c]imidazole]-1'(2'H)-one. Specifically, the compound of Formula (I) can be 2-(5-hexenyl)tetra-hydrospiro[cyclopentane-1,3'-pyrrole[1,2-c]imidazole]1'(2'H)-one.

[0029] Compounds according to formula (I) have the ability to slowly generate a cyclopentanone derivative of formula (VI) over time O)5(VI) FT in the form of any of its stereoisomers or as a mixture thereof, wherein the dashed line, n, R4 and R5 have the same meaning as defined above.

[0030] The compounds of formula (I) are non-volatile and essentially odorless. At the same time, they are relatively stable in perfume compositions or in perfumed items. When exposed to a surface under environmental conditions, it is possible that compounds (VI) are formed by reaction with ambient moisture. The generation of these compounds can be further triggered by the presence of oxygen in the air, by changes in pH, by exposure to light, in particular UV-A light, the presence of enzymes or increased temperature, or by other types of mechanisms or by a combination of several Petition 870220074448, dated 08 / 18 / 2022, page 19 / 85 11 / 71 mechanisms.

[0031] Non-volatile and essentially odorless compounds are advantageously characterized by a vapor pressure below 2.0 Pa, as obtained by calculation using EPIwin v. 3.10 software (2000, available from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency). Preferably, said vapor pressure is below 0.2 Pa or, even more preferably, below 0.02 Pa.

[0032] Although it is not possible to provide an exhaustive list of compounds of formula (VI) that are generated from the compound of formula (I) of the invention, the following may be cited as preferred and non-limiting examples: 2-(5-hexen-1-yl)cyclopentanone, 2-hexyl-1-cyclopentanone, 2-heptyl-1-cyclopentanone, 2-petyl-1-cyclopentanone, 2,2,5-trimethyl-5-petyl-1-cyclopentanone, methyl 2-[3-oxo-2petylcyclopetyl]acetate, 3-methyl-2-petylcyclopentan-1-one, methyl 3-oxo-2petylcyclopentane-1-carboxylate or 2-(3-buten-1-yl)-2,5,5trimethylcyclopentanone. Specifically, the compound of formula (VI) may be 2(5-hexen-1-yl)cyclopentanone.

[0033] As mentioned above, the invention relates to the use of a compound of formula (I) as a perfuming ingredient to impart a lasting odor, specifically, an odor imparted by cyclopentanone-derived perfumery ingredients, to the environment. In other words, the invention relates to a method for imparting, intensifying, enhancing or modifying the odor, in particular, an odor imparted by cyclopentanone-derived perfumery ingredients (i.e., fruity and / or floral odor), of a perfuming composition or a perfumed article, the method comprising adding to said composition or article an effective amount of at least one compound of formula (I). “Use of a compound of formula (I)” must be understood in the present context as the use of any composition containing a compound of formula (I) and which can be advantageously employed in the perfumery industry.

[0034] In the present context, “fragrance ingredient” means a compound that is used in a fragrance preparation or composition to impart a hedonic effect. In other words, such a fragrance ingredient, to be considered Petition 870220074448, dated 08 / 18 / 2022, page 20 / 85 12 / 71 perfuming, it must be recognized by a person skilled in the art as having the capacity to impart or modify, in a positive or pleasant manner, the odor of a composition and not merely as having an odor.

[0035] The expression “fruity and / or floral odor” or “fruity and / or floral note” should be understood as an odor reminiscent of a floral odor, for example, the olfactory impression of roses, and fruity, specifically, notes of yellow fruits, such as, for example, notes of apricot, peach, or fruity-floral notes, such as notes of exotic fruits.

[0036] For the sake of clarity, a lasting effect is normally achieved if, after a certain period and after several hours or days, a given compound emits greater amounts of odor into the environment than a reference compound that provides the same type of odor.Thus, the expression “long-lasting odor”, when referring to the compound of formula (I) of the invention, should be understood as an increase in the duration of odor perception (release of compounds into the atmosphere that provides an olfactory impression of fruity and / or floral odor) compared to that of the molecules alone that have such an impression and measured under the same conditions, for example, after several hours (6 or 8 hours) or days (1, 3 or 7 days).

[0037] Such compositions, which can in fact be advantageously employed as perfuming ingredients, are also an object of the present invention.

[0038] Therefore, another aspect of the present invention is a fragrance composition comprising: i) a fragrance ingredient, at least one compound of formula (I) of the invention, as defined above; ii) at least one ingredient selected from the group consisting of a fragrance carrier and a fragrance base; and iii) optionally at least one fragrance adjuvant. In the present context, "perfume carrier" means a material that is practically neutral from a perfumery point of view, that is, it does not significantly alter the organoleptic properties of fragrance ingredients. This carrier can be a liquid or a solid.

[0039] As examples of liquid carriers, one can cite, but not limitingly, a Petition 870220074448, dated 08 / 18 / 2022, p. 21 / 85 13 / 71 emulsifier system, that is, a solvent and a surfactant system or a solvent commonly used in perfumery. A detailed description of the nature and type of solvent commonly used in perfumery cannot be exhaustive. However, examples may include, but are not limited to, solvents such as butylene or propylene glycol, glycerol, dipropylene glycol and its monoether, 1,2,3-propanetriyl triacetate, dimethyl glutarate, dimethyl adipate, 1,3-diacetyloxypropan-2-yl acetate, diethyl phthalate, isopropyl myristate, benzyl benzoate, benzyl alcohol, 2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)-1-ethane, triethyl citrate, or mixtures thereof, which are the most commonly used.For compositions comprising both a fragrance carrier and a fragrance base, other suitable fragrance carriers besides those specified above may also be ethanol, water / ethanol mixtures, limonene or other terpenes, isoparaffins such as those known under the trademark Isopar® (origin: Exxon Chemical) or glycol ethers and glycol ether esters such as those known under the trademark Dowanol® (origin: Dow Chemical Company) or hydrogenated castor oils such as those known under the trademark Cremophor® RH 40 (origin: BASF).

[0040] A solid carrier indicates a material to which the fragrance composition or some element of the fragrance composition can be chemically or physically bound. Generally, such solid carriers are employed either to stabilize the composition or to control the evaporation rate of the compositions or of some ingredients. The use of a solid carrier is currently used in the art, and a person skilled in the art knows how to achieve the desired effect. However, by way of non-limiting examples of solid carriers, one may mention absorbent gums or polymers or inorganic material, such as porous polymers, cyclodextrins, wood-based materials, organic or inorganic gels, clays, gypsum talc or zeolites.

[0041] As other non-limiting examples of solid carriers, encapsulation materials may be mentioned. Examples of such materials may include wall-forming materials and plasticizers, such as mono-, di- or trisaccharides, natural or modified starches, hydrocolloids, cellulose derivatives, acetates of Petition 870220074448, dated 08 / 18 / 2022, page 22 / 85 14 / 71 polyvinyl, polyvinyl alcohols, proteins or pectins, or even the materials cited in reference texts such as H. Scherz, Hydrokolloide: Stabilisatoren, Dickungs- und Geliermittel in Lebensmitteln, Band 2 der Schriftenreihe Lebensmittelchemie, Lebensmittelqualitat, Behr's Verlag GmbH & Co., Hamburg, 1996. Encapsulation is a process well known to a person skilled in the art and can be carried out, for example, using techniques such as spray drying, agglomeration or even extrusion, or it consists of encapsulation by coating, including coacervation and complex coacervation techniques.

[0042] As non-limiting examples of solid carriers, one may cite, in particular, core-shell capsules with aminoplastic, polyamide, polyester, polyurea or polyurethane type resins or a mixture thereof (all said resins are well known to those skilled in the art) using techniques such as a polymerization-induced phase separation process, interfacial polymerization, coacervation or in combination (all said techniques were described in the prior art), optionally in the presence of a polymeric stabilizer or a cationic copolymer.

[0043] Resins can be produced by the polycondensation of an aldehyde (e.g., formaldehyde, 2,2-dimethoxyethanal, glyoxal, glyoxylic acid or glycoaldehyde and mixtures thereof) with an amine such as urea, benzoguanamine, glycoluryl, melamine, methylol melamine, guanazole and the like, as well as mixtures thereof. Alternatively, pre-formed alkylated polyamine resins can be used, such as those commercially available under the trademarks Urac® (origin: Cytec Technology Corp.), Cymel® (origin: Cytec Technology Corp.), Urecoll® or Luracoll® (origin: BASF).

[0044] Other resins are those produced by polycondensation of a polyol, such as glycerol, and a polyisocyanate, such as a hexamethylene diisocyanate trimer, an isophorone diisocyanate trimer or xylylene diisocyanate or hexamethylene diisocyanate biuret or a xylylene diisocyanate trimer with trimethylolpropane (known by the trade name Takenate®, origin: Mitsui Chemicals), among which are a xylylene diisocyanate trimer with Petition 870220074448, dated 08 / 18 / 2022, page 23 / 85 15 / 71 trimethylolpropane and a hexamethylene diisocyanate biuret.

[0045] Part of the seminal literature related to the encapsulation of perfumes by polycondensation of amine resins, namely, melamine-based resins with aldehydes, is represented by articles such as those published by K. Dietrich et al. Acta Polymerica, 1989, volume 40, pages 243, 325 and 683, as well as 1990, volume 41, page 91. These articles already describe the various parameters that affect the preparation of such core-shell microcapsules following prior art methods that are also more detailed and exemplified in the patent literature. US patent no. 4,396,670, from Wiggins Teape Group Limited, is a pertinent early example of the latter. Since then, many other authors have enriched the literature in this field and it is impossible to cover all the developments published in this document, however the general knowledge in encapsulation technology is very significant.More recent publications of relevance that reveal appropriate uses of such microcapsules are represented, for example, by the article by K. Bruyninckx and M. Dusselier, ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering, 2019, volume 7, pages 804-8054.

[0046] In the present context, “perfume base” means a composition comprising at least one fragrant co-ingredient.

[0047] The said perfuming co-ingredient is not of formula (I). Furthermore, in the present context, perfuming co-ingredient means a compound that is used in a perfuming preparation or in a composition in addition to the perfuming ingredient of formula (I) and that imparts to such perfuming ingredient of formula (I) a hedonic effect. In other words, such a co-ingredient, to be considered perfuming, must be recognized by a person skilled in the art as having the capacity to impart or modify, in a positive or pleasant manner, the odor of a composition and not merely as having an odor.

[0048] In particular, one can cite the fragrant co-ingredients that are commonly used in perfume formulations, such as: - Aldehydic ingredients: decanal, dodecanal, 2-methyl-undecanal, 10-undecenal, octanal, nonanal and / or nonanal; Petition 870220074448, dated 08 / 18 / 2022, p. 24 / 85 16 / 71 - Aromatic herb ingredients: eucalyptus oil, camphor, eucalyptol, 5-methyltricyclo[6.2.1.0~2,7~]undecan-4-one, 1-methoxy-3-hexanethiol, 2-ethyl-4,4-dimethyl1,3-oxathione, 2,2,7 / 8,9 / 10-Tetramethylspiro[5,5]undec-8-en-1-one, menthol and / or alpha-pinene; - Balsamic ingredients: coumarin, ethyl vanillin and / or vanillin; - Citrus ingredients: dihydromyrcenol, citral, orange oil, linalyl acetate, citronellyl nitrile, orange terpenes, limonene, 1-p-menten-8-yl acetate and / or 1,4(8)-p-mentadiene; - Floral ingredients: methyl dihydrojasmonate, linalool, citronalol, phenylethanol, 3-(4-terc-butylphenyl)-2-methylpropanal, hexylcinaldeído, benzyl acetate, benzyl salicylate, tetra-hydro-2-isobutyl-4-methyl-4(2H)-pyranol, beta ionone, 2-(methylamino)benzoate de methyl, (E)-3-methyl-4-(2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclo-hexen-1-yl)-3buten-2-ona, (1 E)-1 -(2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclo-hexen-1-yl)-1-penten-3-ona, 1 -(2,6,6trimethyl-1,3-cyclo-hexadien-1-yl)-2-buten-1-one, (2E)-1-(2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclo-hexen-1yl)-2-buten-1-one, (2E)-1-[2,6,6-trimethyl-3-cyclo-hexen-1 -yl]-2-buten-1 -one, (2E)-1 (2,6,6-trimethyl-1-cyclo-hexen-1-yl)-2-buten-1-one, 2,5-dimethyl-2-indanmethanol, 2,6,6trimethyl-3-cyclo-hexeno-1-carboxylate, 3-(4,4-dimethyl-1-cyclo-hexen-1-yl)propanal, hexyl salicylate, 3,7-dimethyl-1,6-nonadien-3-ol, 3-(4-isopropylphenyl)-2-methylpropanal, verdila acetate, geraniol, p-ment-1-en-8-ol acetate, 4-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-1-cyclohexyla, 1,1-dimethyl-2-phenylethyl acetate,4-cyclohexyl-2-methyl-2-butanol, amyl salicylate, cis dihydrojasmonate, 3-methyl-5-phenyl-1-pentanol, verdyl propionate, geranyl acetate, tetrahydrolinalool, cis-7-p-menthol, propyl (S)-2-(1,1-dimethylpropoxy)propanoate, 2-methoxynaphthalene, 2,2,2-trichloro-1-phenylethyl acetate, 4 / 3-(4-hydroxy-4-methylpetyl)-3-cyclohexene-1-carbaldehyde, amylcinnamaldehyde, 8-decen-5-olide, 4-phenyl-2-butanone, isononyl acetate, 4-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-1-cyclohexyl acetate, verdyl isobutyrate and / or a mixture of methylionone isomers; - Fruity ingredients: gamma-undecalactone, 2,2,5-trimethyl-5-petylcyclopentanone, 2-methyl-4-propyl-1,3-oxathione, 4-decanolide, ethyl 2-methylpentanoate, hexyl acetate, ethyl 2-methylbutanoate, gamma-nonalactone, heptanoate Petition 870220074448, dated 08 / 18 / 2022, page 25 / 85 Allyl 17 / 71, 2-phenoxyethyl isobutyrate, 2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane-2-ethyl acetate, 3(3,3 / 1,1-dimethyl-5-indanyl)propanal, 1,4-cyclo-hexanedicarboxylate-diethyl-1-methyl,3-acetyl [3-ethyl-2-oxyranyl]1-[3,3-dimethylcyclo-hexyl]ethyl acetate and / or 1,4-cyclo-hexane diethyl dicarboxylate; - Green ingredients: 2-methyl-3-hexanone (E)-oxime, 2,4-dimethyl-3-cyclohexene-1-carbaldehyde, 2-tert-butyl-1-cyclo-hexyl acetate, styralyl acetate, (2methylbutoxy)-3-acetyl-alylylic acid diphenyl, (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol and / or 1 -(5,5-dimethyl-1 -cyclo-hexen-1-yl)-4-penten-1 -one; - Musk ingredients: 1,4-dioxa-5,17-cycloheptadecanedione, (Z)-4-cyclopentadecen-1-one, 3-methylcyclopentadecanone, 1-oxa-12-cyclohexadecen-2-one, 1-oxa-13-cyclohexadecen-2-one, (9Z)-9-cycloheptadecen-1-one, 2{1S)-1-[(1R)-3,3-dimethylcyclohexyl]ethoxy}-2-oxoethyl propionate, 3-methyl-5-cyclopentadecen-1-one, 1,3,4,6,7,8-hexahydro-4,6,6,7,8,8-hexamethylcyclopenta-γ-2-benzopyran, (1S,1'R)-2-[1-(3',3'-dimethyl-1 '-cyclohexyl)ethoxy]-2-methylpropyl, oxacyclohexadecan2-one and / or (1S,1'R)-[1-(3',3'-dimethyl-1'-cyclohexyl)ethoxycarbonyl]methyl propanoate; - Lengh ingredients: 1-[(1RS,6SR)-2,2,6-trimethylcyclo-hexyl]-3-hexanol, 3,3-dimethyl-5-[(1R)-2,2,3-trimethyl-3-cyclopenten-1-yl]-4-penten-2-ol, 3,4'- dimethylspiro[oxirano-2,9'-tricyclo[6.2.1.02'7]undec[4]eno, (1-ethoxietoxi)cyclododecane, 2,2,9,11-tetramethylspiro[5.5]undec-8-en-1-yl acetate, 1-(octa-hydro-2,3,8,8tetramethyl-2-naphthalenyl)-1-etanona, patchouli oil, terpene fractions óleo Patchouli, clearwood®, (1 'R,E)-2-ethyl-4-(2',2',3'-trimethyl-3'-cyclopenten-1'-yl)-2-buten-1 ol, 2-ethyl-4-(2,2,3-trimethyl-3-cyclopenten-1-yl)-2-buten-1-ol, methyl cedril cetone, 5-(2,2,3trimethyl-3-cyclopentenyl)-3-methylpentan-2-ol, 1 -(2,3,8,8-tetramethyl-1,2,3,4,6,7,8,8a-octahidronaphthalene-2-yl)ethan-1-ona and / or isobornyl acetate; - Other ingredients (e.g., amber, chili powder or watered): dodecahydro-3a,6,6,9a-tetramethyl-naphtho[2,1-b]furan and any of its stereoisomers, heliotropin, anisic aldehyde, eugenol, cinnamaldehyde, clove oil, 3-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-2-methylpropanal, 7-methyl-2H-1,5-benzodioxepin-3(4H)one, 2,5,5-trimethyl-1,2,3,4,4a,5,6,7-octahydro-2-naphthalenol, 1-phenylvinyl acetate, 6-methyl-7-oxa-1-thia-4-azaespiro[4.4]nonane and / or 3-(3-isopropyl-1-phenyl)butanal.

[0049] A perfumery base, according to the invention, cannot be limited to the perfumery co-ingredients mentioned above, and many other such co-ingredients are, in any case, listed in reference texts, such as S. Arctander's book, Perfume and Flavor Chemicals, 1969, Montclair, New Jersey, USA, or its more recent versions, or in other works of a similar nature, as well as in the abundant patent literature in the field of perfumery. Furthermore, it is understood that said co-ingredients may also be compounds known to controllably release various types of perfume compounds also known as pro-perfumes or pro-fragrances. Non-limiting examples of suitable pro-perfumes or pro-fragrances may include 4-(dodecylthio)-4-(2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-yl)-2-butanone, 4-(dodecylthio)-4-(2,6,6-trimethyl-1-cyclohexen-1-yl)-2-butanone, 3-(dodecylthio)-1-(2,6,6-trimethyl-3-cyclohexen-1-yl)-1-butanone, 2-(dodecylthio)octan-4-one,2-phenylethyl oxo(phenyl)acetate, 3,7-dimethyloctate-2,6-diene-1-yl oxo(phenyl)acetate, (Z)-hex-3-en-1-yl oxo(phenyl)acetate, 3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadiene hexadecanoate bis(3,7-dimethyloct-2,6-diene-1 -yl)succinate, (2-((2-methylundec-1 -en-1 il)oxy)ethyl)benzene, 1 -methoxy-4-(3-methyl-4-phenotoxibut-3-en-1 -phenoto1-benzene-3, (4 -yl)benzene, 1 -(((Z)-hex-3-en-1-yl)oxy)-2-methylundec-1-ene, (2-((2methylundec-1 -en-1 -yl)oxy)ethoxy)benzene, 2-methyl-ene -(octan-3-c-1yloxy)uene methoxy-4-(1-phenothoxyprop-1-en-2-yl)benzene, 1-methyl-4-(1-phenothoxyprop-1-en-2yl)benzene, 2-(1-phenothoxyprop-1-en-2-yl)naphthalene, (2-phenothoxyvinyl)benzene, 2-(1-((3,7dimethyloct-6-en-1-yl)oxy)prop-1-en-2-yl)naphthalene, (2-((2petylcyclopethylidene)methoxy)ethyl)benzene or a mixture of both.,

[0050] The term perfume adjuvant is understood as an ingredient capable of conferring an additional benefit, such as color, specific lightfastness, chemical stability, etc. A detailed description of the nature and type of adjuvant commonly used in perfume bases cannot be exhaustive, however it should be mentioned that the ingredients are well known to a person skilled in the art. However, the following may be cited as specific, non-limiting examples: viscosity agents (e.g., surfactants, thickeners, gelling agents and / or rheology modifiers), stabilizing agents (e.g., surfactants, thickeners, gelling agents and / or rheology modifiers), stabilizing agents (e.g., Petition 870220074448, dated 08 / 18 / 2022, page 27 / 85 19 / 71 example, preservatives, antioxidants, heat / light and / or buffers or chelating agents, such as BHT), coloring agents (e.g., dyes and / or pigments), preservatives (e.g., antibacterial or antimicrobial or antifungal or anti-irritant agents), abrasives, skin cooling agents, fixatives, insect repellents, ointments, vitamins and mixtures thereof.

[0051] It is understood that a person skilled in the art has full ability to design ideal formulations for the desired effect by mixing by addition the components of a perfume composition mentioned above, simply by applying standard knowledge of the art, as well as by trial and error methodologies.

[0052] A composition of the invention consisting of at least one compound of formula (I) and at least one perfumery carrier represents a specific embodiment of the invention, as does a perfumery composition comprising at least one compound of formula (I), at least one perfumery carrier, at least one perfumery base and optionally at least one perfumery adjuvant.

[0053] It is worth mentioning in this document that it is important to have the possibility, in the compositions mentioned above, of using, in addition to a compound of formula (I), other compounds of a similar or different nature, which may generate other fragrances, as this allows the perfumer to prepare accords, perfumes that have the olfactory tone of several compounds of the invention, thus creating new building blocks for the purpose of creation.

[0054] For the sake of clarity, it is also understood that any mixture directly resulting from a chemical synthesis, for example, a reaction medium without adequate purification, in which the compound of the invention is involved as an initial, intermediate or final product, cannot be considered a perfumery composition according to the invention if the mixture does not provide the compound of the invention in a form suitable for perfumery. Thus, unpurified reaction mixtures are generally excluded from the present invention, unless otherwise specified. Petition 870220074448, dated 08 / 18 / 2022, page 28 / 85 20 / 71

[0055] Furthermore, the compound of formula (I) of the invention can also be used advantageously in all fields of modern perfumery, i.e., fine or functional perfumery, to positively impart a lasting or consistent fruity and / or floral scent to a consumer product to which said compound (I) is added.

[0056] Consequently, another aspect of the present invention relates to a perfumed consumer product comprising as a perfumed ingredient at least one compound of formula (I) or a perfumed composition, as defined above.

[0057] The compound of the invention can be added as such or as part of a fragrance composition of the invention.

[0058] For clarity, it should be mentioned that a perfumed consumer product means a consumer product that provides at least a pleasant perfume effect to the surface to which it is applied (e.g., skin, hair, textile or hard surface). In other words, a perfumed consumer product according to the invention is a perfumed consumer product comprising the functional formulation as well as, optionally, additional beneficial agents corresponding to the desired consumer product, for example, a conditioner, a detergent or an air freshener, and an effective olfactory quantity of at least one compound of the invention. For clarity, the perfumed consumer product is a non-edible product.

[0059] The nature and type of constituents of the perfumed consumer product do not justify a more detailed description here, which is by no means exhaustive, and a person skilled in the art may select them based on their general knowledge and in accordance with the nature and desired effect of the product.

[0060] As used in this document, “consumer product” means baby care, personal care, textiles and household care, family care, feminine care, health care, beauty care and similar products generally intended to be used or consumed in the form in which they are sold.

[0061] Non-limiting examples of fragrant consumer products may be Petition 870220074448, dated 08 / 18 / 2022, page 29 / 85 21 / 71 one, such as fine perfume, cologne or aftershave lotion; a fabric care product, such as a liquid or solid detergent or a single-dose detergent (such as a powder tablet, a liquid single-dose detergent or a multi-chamber single-dose detergent), a fabric softener, a fabric freshener, laundry water, paper, bleach, carpet cleaner, or curtain care products;a body care product, such as a hair care product (for example, shampoo, a hair coloring preparation or hairspray, a color care product or a hair styling product, a dental care product, a disinfectant, an intimate care product), a cosmetic preparation (for example, a skin cream or lotion, a bleaching cream or a deodorant or antiperspirant (for example, a spray or roll-on), a hair remover, a tanning lotion, sunscreen or after-sun protection products, a nail product, a nail cleaner or makeup), a penis care product (for example, a perfumed soap, shower or bath mousse, oil or gel, a hygiene product or a foot / hand care product);an air freshener product, such as a ready-to-use powder air purifier or air freshener that can be used in a domestic space (rooms, refrigerators, closets, shoe closets or car) and / or in a public space (hallways, hotels, shopping malls, etc.); or a home care product, such as a mildew remover, a furniture care product, a paper towel, a dishwashing detergent or detergent for hard surfaces (e.g., a floor, bathtub, toilet or windows), a leather care product; a car care product, such as a polish, waxes or plastic cleaner.

[0062] The preferred perfuming compositions or perfuming articles are perfumes, detergents for fabrics or hard surfaces, skin or hair products and fabric softeners or purifiers.

[0063] Typical examples of fabric detergents or softening compositions in which the compounds of the invention may be incorporated are described in document no. WO 97 / 34986 or in patents no. US 4,137,180 and 5,236,615 or in document no. EP 799 885. Other typical detergents and softening compositions that Petition 870220074448, dated 08 / 18 / 2022, page 30 / 85 22 / 71 can be used and are described in works such as Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, volume 20, Wiley-VCH, Weinheim, pages 355-540 (2012); Flick, Advanced Cleaning Product Formulations, Noye Publication, Park Ridge, New Jersey (1989); Showell, in Surfactant Science Series, volume 71: Powdered Detergents, Marcel Dekker, New York (1988); Proceedings of the World Conference on Detergents (4th edition, 1998, Montreux, Switzerland), AOCS imprint.

[0064] Some of the consumer product bases mentioned above may represent an aggressive environment for the compound of the invention, so it may be necessary to protect it from premature decomposition, for example, by encapsulation.

[0065] The proportions in which the compounds according to the invention can be incorporated into the various articles or compositions mentioned above vary within a wide range of values. These values ​​depend on the nature of the article to be perfumed and the desired organoleptic effect, as well as on the nature of the co-ingredients on a given basis when the compounds according to the invention are mixed with perfume co-ingredients, solvents, or additives commonly used in the art.

[0066] For example, in the case of fragrance compositions, typical concentrations are in the order of 0.001% to 10% by weight, or more, of the compounds of the invention based on the weight of the composition in which they are incorporated. In the case of perfumed consumer products, typical concentrations are in the order of 0.0001% to 5% by weight, or more, of the compounds of the invention based on the weight of the consumer product in which they are incorporated.

[0067] As mentioned above, the invention relates to a method for imparting a long-lasting or consistent odor, imparted by cyclopentanone-derived perfumery ingredients, such as fruity and / or floral scents, to surfaces such as hard surfaces, fabrics, skin, or hair. Perfume ingredients that impart a fruity and / or floral scent to the environment by evaporation from a surface are typically not long-lasting or consistent. As described above, one reason for this is their relatively high volatility, which ensures efficient evaporation after the Petition 870220074448, dated 08 / 18 / 2022, page 31 / 85 23 / 71 Surface deposition. Another reason for this is that often only small amounts of these compounds are efficiently deposited on the surface. This is specifically the case when these compounds are applied to a surface through scented compositions or scented articles, which are rinsed off after application. This rinsing step also removes a large amount of perfume that should remain on the target surface. Examples of this are washing and cleaning agents such as hard surface cleaners, detergents, shower gels, shampoos, and the like, which are rinsed off after application. Furthermore, perfuming a surface by placing it in contact with scented compositions or scented articles, from which the perfume is deposited on the surface by a partitioning equilibrium between the scented compositions or articles and the corresponding surface, may be inefficient for perfume deposition.Examples of this case are surface conditioners or purifiers, such as fragrance softeners, which are placed in contact with the target and then removed or left to dry. The compounds of formula (I) according to the present invention are suitable for increasing perfume deposition and consequently imparting a long-lasting odor conferred by cyclopentanone-derived perfumery ingredients to surfaces such as hard surfaces, fabrics, skin or hair.

[0068] Therefore, another aspect of the present invention relates to a method of imparting a lasting or consistent odor imparted by cyclopentanone-derived perfumery ingredients to the environment or surfaces, such as hard surfaces, fabrics, skin or hair, by adding at least one compound of formula (I) to perfume compositions or perfumed articles and applying them to the corresponding target environment or surface.

[0069] The present invention also relates to a microcapsule comprising at least one compound of formula (I). In one embodiment, the at least one compound of formula (I) is encapsulated in a core-shell microcapsule wherein the at least one compound of formula (I) is contained within the core enclosed by the shell. In one embodiment, the microcapsule shell protects Petition 870220074448, dated 08 / 18 / 2022, page 32 / 85 24 / 71 the compound of formula (I) from the environment. The shell is produced from a material that has the capacity to release at least one compound of formula (I). In one embodiment, the shell is produced from a material that has the capacity to release the compound of formula (I) after rupture of the shell and / or by diffusion through the shell. A person skilled in the art is well acquainted with the processes for preparing said microcapsules.

[0070] According to a particular embodiment, the microcapsule shell comprises a material selected from the group consisting of polyurea, polyurethane, polyamide, polyester, poly(meth)acrylate (i.e., polyacrylate and / or polymethacrylate), polysiloxane, polycarbonate, polysulfonamide, urea-formaldehyde polymers, melamine and formaldehyde, melamine and urea, or melamine and glyoxal, and mixtures thereof.

EXAMPLE 2 PERFORMANCE OF A FABRIC SOFTENER BASE COMPRISING A COMPOUND OF FORMULA (I) OF THE INVENTION

[00174] The performance of the compounds of formula (I) of the present invention was tested in a fabric softening surfactant emulsion with the following final composition: Stepantex® VL90 A (origin: Stepan) 12.21% by weight Calcium chloride (10% aqueous solution) 0.40% by weight Proxel® GXL (origin: Avecia) 0.04% by weight Water 87.35% by weight (A) DYNAMIC VOID SPACE MEASUREMENTS

[00175] The compound of formula (I) of the invention (0.1 mmol) was dissolved in ethanol (0.2 ml) and added to 7.0 g of the fabric softener formulation described above. After homogenization, an aliquot of the sample (0.07 g) was diluted with water. Petition 870220074448, dated 08 / 18 / 2022, page 53 / 85 45 / 71 cold demineralized stream (23.0 g). Then, a cotton sheet (EMPA cotton test no. 221, origin: Eidgenossische Materialprüfanstalt), pre-washed with an unscented detergent powder and cut into sheets of approximately 15 x 15 cm, approximately 5.2 g) was added and manually agitated for 3 minutes, left to stand for 2 minutes, then hand-wrung and weighed (approximately 10.0 g) to obtain a constant amount of residual water. A reference sample consisting of an equal molarity amount of the corresponding unmodified formula compound (VI) instead of the formula compound (I) was prepared and analyzed in the same manner. The cotton sheets were line-dried for 1 or 3 days before analysis.For the measurements, the leaves were placed in an empty-space sampling cell (approximately 160 ml internal volume), which was thermostated at 25 °C and exposed to a constant airflow of approximately 200 ml / min. The air was filtered with activated carbon and aspirated through a saturated NaCl solution (to ensure a constant air humidity of approximately 75%). The system was equilibrated for 15 minutes during the absorption of volatiles onto a Tenax® waste cartridge. Then, seven times consecutively, the volatiles were adsorbed for 15 minutes onto a clean Tenax® cartridge and for 45 minutes onto a Tenax® waste cartridge. The waste cartridges were discarded, while the other cartridges were desorbed in a Perkin Elmer TurboMatrix ATD desorber coupled to an Agilent Technologies 7890A gas chromatograph equipped with an HP-1 capillary column (30 m, 0.32 μm inner diameter, 0.25 μm film) and an FID detector.Volatiles were analyzed using a temperature gradient from 80 °C to 260 °C at 15 °C / min. Void space concentrations (in ng / l of air) were obtained by standard external calibrations using different concentrations of the fragrance to be released in ethanol. Each calibration solution (0.2 μl) was injected into a clean Tenax® cartridge which was desorbed and analyzed under the same conditions. Table 1 summarizes the results obtained for the release of the respective compounds of formula (VI) compared to an amount of equal molarity of the fragrance-free modified compounds of the formula.

[00176] The compounds according to formula (I) released higher amounts of compounds of formula (VI) onto dry cotton in the empty space above than the reference sample consisting of an amount of equal molarity of the corresponding unmodified compound of formula (VI). Therefore, the compounds of formula (I) according to the present invention have the ability to increase the durability for the perception of cyclopentanone-derived perfumery ingredients. (B) SENSORY PANEL EVALUATIONS

[00177] The performance of the compounds of formula (I) of the present invention was tested in a fabric softening surfactant emulsion with the following composition: Methyl sulfate of methyl bis[ethyl(seboat)]-2-hydroxyethyl ammonium(1)8,88 10% calcium chloride solution 0.36 Petition 870220074448, dated 08 / 18 / 2022, pp. 56 / 85 48 / 71 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one2)0.04 Water 90.72 1) Stepantex® VL 90A - Stepan 2) Proxel® GXL - Arch

[00178] The softener was prepared by weighing methyl bis[ethyl (seboat)]-2-hydroxyethyl ammonium sulfate which was heated to 65 °C. Then, water and 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one were placed in the reactor and heated to 65 °C under shaking. Methyl bis[ethyl (seboat)]-2-hydroxyethyl ammonium sulfate was added to the above mixture. The mixture was shaken for 15 minutes, and CaCb was added. Then, 0.1 g of Compound 7 or 0.0616 g of 2-petylcyclopentanone was added. The mixture was shaken for 15 minutes and cooled to room temperature under stirring (viscosity measurement: result 35 + / - 5 mPas. (shear rate 106 s-1)).

[00179] Cotton terry towels (36 pieces, 18 cm * 18 cm, approximately 30 g each) were washed with 55 g of unscented detergent in a European washing machine (Miele Novotronic W300-33CH) at 40 °C using the cycle program. The wash was followed by a rinse at 900 rpm with 23 g of concentrated fabric softener. The terry towels were then line-dried for 24 hours before being evaluated by a panel of 20 trained participants. Participants were asked to rate the odor intensity of the towels after gently hand-rubbing the fabrics on a scale of 1 to 7, where 1 corresponds to odorless and 7 corresponds to a very strong odor. The results obtained are summarized in Table 2. TABLE 2: EVALUATION OF THE PANEL IN AN APPLICATION OF FABRIC SOFTENER. Overall Perfume Intensity Line Drying 1 day 3 days 7 days Fabric Softener + 0.1% of Compound 7 2.19 3.29 3.28 Fabric Softener + 0.0616% of 2-petylcyclopentanone 2.23 2.50 2.04 Petition 870220074448, dated 08 / 18 / 2022, page 57 / 85 49 / 71

[00180] The olfactory performance on dry fabrics due to the presence of Compound 7 pro-perfume performed relatively close to the 2-petylcyclopentanone control on Day 1 and was perceived as significantly more intense than the 2-petylcyclopentanone control on Day 3 and Day 7. Based on the results, Compound 7 pro-perfume at 0.1% performed significantly better than the 2-petylcyclopentanone control at 0.0616%, at least from 3 dry days up to 7 dry days. EXAMPLE 3 PERFORMANCE OF A GENERAL PURPOSE CLEANING FORMULATION FOR HARD SURFACES COMPRISING A COMPOUND OF FORMULA (I) OF THE INVENTION

[00181] The release of compounds of formula (VI) from compounds of formula (I) of the present invention was tested in a general purpose surface cleaner (APC). An APC formulation with the following composition was prepared: Neodol® 91-8 (origin: Shell Chemicals) 5.0% by weight; Marlon® A 375 (origin: Hüls AG) 4.0% by weight; Sodium cumolsulfonate 2.0% by weight; Kathon® CG (origin: Rohm and Haas) 0.2% by weight; Deionized water 88.8% by weight

[00182] In a flask, one of the compounds of the invention of formula (I) (0.0369 mmol) was dissolved in ethanol (100 μl). Then, the APC formulation (3.0 ml) was added, and the sample was gently shaken. An aliquot of these samples (1 ml) was removed by pipette with demineralized tap water (9 ml). A film of this solution (0.75 ml) was pipetted onto a porous ceramic plate (approximately 5 x 10 cm) and left to stand at room temperature. Similarly, a reference sample consisting of an equal molarity amount of the corresponding unmodified compound of formula (VI) (0.0369 mmol) instead of one of the compounds of the invention of formula (I) in ethanol (100 μl) was prepared and processed in the same manner.

[00183] After one day, each of the ceramic plates was placed inside Petition 870220074448, dated 08 / 18 / 2022, page 58 / 85 A 50 / 71 vacuum sampling cell (approximately 625 ml) was exposed to a constant airflow of approximately 200 ml / min. The air was filtered with activated carbon and aspirated through a saturated aqueous NaCl solution (to ensure a constant air humidity of approximately 75%). The system was equilibrated for 15 min by adsorbing the volatiles onto a Tenax® waste cartridge. Then, the volatiles were alternately adsorbed for 10 minutes onto a clean Tenax® cartridge and for 20 minutes onto a Tenax® waste cartridge (6x). The waste cartridges were discarded; the clean cartridges were desorbed and analyzed as described in Example 2. All measurements were performed at least twice.The average void space concentrations of compounds of formula (VI) released from compounds of formula (I), as prepared in Example 1, or from the reference sample after 55 minutes of sampling above the porous ceramic plates are listed in Table 3. Table 3 also indicates the increase factors of compounds of formula (VI) released from compounds of the invention of formula (I) relative to the reference sample. TABLE 3: AVERAGE CONCENTRATIONS OF FORMULA (VI) COMPOUNDS MEASURED IN THE VOID SPACE AFTER DRYING FOR 1 DAY AND 55 MINUTES OF SAMPLING OF THE ABOVE SAMPLING CERAMIC PLATES IN AN APC APPLICATION. THE INCREASE FACTOR WITH RESPECT TO THE REFERENCE IS INDICATED IN PARENTHESES. Compound Concentration of 2-(5-hexenyl)cyclopentan-1-one [ng / l] after drying for 1 day Reference 15.5 Compound 2 70.7 (x 5) Concentration of 2-petyl-1-cyclopentanone [ng / l] after drying for 1 day Reference 5.5 Compound 9 186.4 (x 34) Petition 870220074448, dated 08 / 18 / 2022, page 59 / 85 51 / 71 Concentration of 2-heptyl-1-cyclopentanone [ng / l] after drying for 1 day Reference 17.3 Compound 11 35.3 (x 2)

[00184] After 1 day, the compounds of the invention of formula (I), as prepared in Example 1, release more compound of formula (VI) into the void space than in the reference sample. Thus, the compounds of formula (I) of the invention have the capacity to provide a lasting and consistent release of the compounds of formula (VI) to a hard surface of an APC application. EXAMPLE 4 PERFORMANCE OF A HAIR CONDITIONER FORMULATION COMPRISING A COMPOUND OF FORMULA (I) OF THE INVENTION

[00185] The generation of compounds of formula (VI) from compounds of formula (I) of the present invention was tested in a hair conditioning application. A hair conditioner formulation with the following final composition was prepared: Dehyquart® C 4046 (origin: BASF) 5.00% by weight Glycerin (85%) (source: Brenntag) 2.00% by weight Liquid Paraffin (source: Acros) 2.00% by weight Genamin® CTAC (source: Clariant) 1.00% by weight Xiameter MEM-949 Cationic Emulsion (source: Xiameter) 1.00% by weight Jaguar® C14 S (source: Lubrizol) 0.30% by weight Kathon® CG (source: Rohm and Haas) 0.08% by weight EDTA Powder B (source: BASF) 0.05% by weight Deionized water 88.57% by weight

[00186] A solution of one of the compounds of formula (I) of the present invention in ethanol was prepared by precisely weighing 0.3 mmol of the compound into a volumetric flask (5 ml) and filling it with ethanol. Similarly, a Petition 870220074448, dated 08 / 18 / 2022, pp. 60 / 85 52 / 71 reference solution containing an equal amount of the compound of formula (VI) to be released was prepared

[00187] The hair conditioner formulation described above (920 mg) was weighed into a sample tube (3 ml), then the ethanol solution (100 μl) containing one of the compounds of the invention of formula (I) or (VI, reference) was added. The tube was closed, shaken (50x) and centrifuged with a manual centrifuge (approximately 3500 rpm) for 30 s.

[00188] A tuft of Caucasian hair (origin: Kerling International Haarfabrik GmbH, approximately 10 cm long, about 0.5 g) was rinsed and rubbed under running water at 37 °C with a flow of approximately 2 l / min for 30 s, and excess water was removed by squeezing the tuft with the fingertips. An unscented shampoo formulation (0.1 g) was spread on the tuft of hair, which was washed for 30 seconds. Then, the shampoo was removed by rinsing with running water at 37 °C for 30 seconds, and excess water was removed by squeezing the tuft with the fingertips. Then, the hair conditioner formulation (0.1 g) containing either of the compounds of the invention, according to formula (I) or the compound of reference formula (VI), was spread on the tuft of hair. The tuft of hair was gently rubbed between the ends of the dice for 1 minute, combed, and dried on a clothesline.

[00189] After 6 hours, the tuft of hair was combed (10x) and fixed with adhesive tape inside a thermostatically controlled (25 °C) void sampling cell with an internal volume of approximately 165 ml. A constant airflow (200 ml / min) was pumped into the sample. The incoming air was filtered through activated carbon and through a saturated aqueous NaCl solution. The system was equilibrated for 10 min by absorbing the volatiles onto a Tenax® waste cartridge. Then, the volatiles were adsorbed for 10 minutes onto a first clean Tenax® cartridge and for another 10 minutes onto a second clean Tenax® cartridge. The pump was then stopped. The tuft of hair was left inside the void sampling cell without connecting a cartridge. After 24 h, a Tenax® waste cartridge was connected, the pump was turned on, and the system was equilibrated for 10 minutes. In Petition 870220074448, dated 08 / 18 / 2022, pp. 61 / 85 53 / 71 Subsequently, the volatiles were consecutively adsorbed for 10 minutes onto two Tenax® cleaning cartridges. The waste cartridges were discarded; the clean cartridges were desorbed and analyzed as described in Example 2. All measurements were performed at least twice.

[00190] The average concentrations of 2-petyl-1-cyclopentanone (compound of formula (VI)) released from compound 9 (compound of formula (I), as prepared in Example 1) or from the reference sample (desorbed from the first cartridge) after 6 hours and after 24 hours are listed in Table 4. Table 4 also indicates the factors of increase in fragrance released from the compounds of the invention of formula (I) relative to the reference sample. TABLE 4: AVERAGE VOID SPACE CONCENTRATIONS OF 2-PETYL-1CYCLOPENTANONE MEASURED AFTER 6 HOUR AND 24 HOUR DRYING ON HAIR IN A HAIR CONDITIONER APPLICATION. THE INCREASE FACTOR RELATIVE TO THE REFERENCE IS INDICATED IN PARENTHESES. Concentration of 2-petyl-1-cyclopentanone [ng / l] measured after drying for 6 hours. Concentration of 2-petyl-1-cyclopentanone [ng / l] measured after drying for 24 hours. Reference 1.9 4.2 Compound 9 40.3 (x 21) 152.7 (x 36)

[00191] The compounds of formula (I) of the invention, as prepared in Example 1, release larger amounts of fragrance into the void space than the reference sample, especially after longer periods of time (24 hours). Thus, the compounds of formula (I) of the invention have the ability to provide a long-lasting and consistent perfume scent to the hair from a hair conditioner application.
