Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of organic synthesis, and particularly relates to a β-alkoxy ketone with long-lasting fragrance retention, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] α,β-unsaturated ketone is a kind of perfume molecule, which is widely used in daily life. However, due to its strong volatility, it is very difficult to make the fragrance last for a long time. How to improve the stability and slow-release property of the perfume to enhance the fragrance retention duration has become the key point in the development of perfumes.

[0003] The traditional method is to convert α,β-unsaturated ketone into β-mercapto ketone to achieve the purpose of slow release. However, the above conversion requires the use of sulfur reagents with a strong smell, which usually cause irritation to people during use, and the release rate of β-mercapto ketone to α,β-unsaturated ketone is very fast, resulting in poor fragrance retention duration. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a β-alkoxy ketone with long-lasting fragrance retention, and a preparation method and application thereof. The β-alkoxy ketone obtained by the method provided by the present invention can slowly release α,β-unsaturated ketone so as to achieve the purpose of long-lasting fragrance retention.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] The present invention provides a preparation method of a β-alkoxy ketone with long-lasting fragrance retention, comprising the following steps:

[0007] Mix an α,β-unsaturated ketone and an alcohol compound, and carry out a Michael addition reaction in the presence of an acid catalyst to obtain the β-alkoxy ketone;

[0008] The acid catalyst includes one or more of bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, sodium p-toluenesulfinate, tricyclohexylphosphine, and tetramethylguanidine.

[0009] Preferably, the α,β-unsaturated ketone has the structure shown in Formula I;

[0010]

[0011] R includes an alkyl group, an aryl group, an amino group, or a hydroxyl group.

[0012] Preferably, the alcohol compound has the structure shown in Formula II: R 1 -OH Formula II;

[0013] R 1 includes an alkyl group, a substituted alkyl group, an aryl group, or a benzyl group;

[0014] The alkyl group includes dodecyl, methyl or ethyl; the substituted alkyl group includes trifluoroethyl.

[0015] Preferably, the α,β-unsaturated ketone is delta-damascone; the alcohol compound is benzyl alcohol, lauryl alcohol or trifluoroethanol.

[0016] Preferably, the molar ratio of the α,β-unsaturated ketone to the alcohol compound is 1:1 to 1:3.

[0017] Preferably, the molar amount of the catalyst is 0.5 to 10% of the molar amount of the α,β-unsaturated ketone.

[0018] Preferably, the temperature of the Michael addition reaction is room temperature and the time is 2 to 120 h.

[0019] Preferably, after the Michael addition reaction, the obtained product is purified by column chromatography.

[0020] The present invention also provides a β-alkoxy ketone with long-lasting fragrance prepared by the preparation method described in the above technical solution.

[0021] The present invention also provides the application of the β-alkoxy ketone with long-lasting fragrance described in the above technical solution as a fragrance.

[0022] The present invention provides a preparation method of a β-alkoxy ketone with long-lasting fragrance, comprising the following steps: mixing an α,β-unsaturated ketone and an alcohol compound, and carrying out a Michael addition reaction in the presence of an acid catalyst to obtain the β-alkoxy ketone; the acid catalyst includes one or more of bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, sodium p-toluenesulfinate, tricyclohexylphosphine and tetramethylguanidine. Starting from more inexpensive and readily available alcohol raw materials, the present invention provides a method for synthesizing β-alkoxy ketone with simple operation and mild conditions. Since the leaving ability of the alkoxy group is less than that of the mercapto group, the β-alkoxy ketone can release the α,β-unsaturated ketone more slowly, thereby achieving the purpose of long-lasting fragrance.

[0023] In addition, the present invention does not require heating, low temperature or inert atmosphere, and can react under room temperature air conditions, and only requires a catalytic amount of acid. The method provided by the present invention can efficiently and highly selectively convert an alcohol and an α,β-unsaturated ketone into a β-alkoxy ketone. The raw materials are inexpensive and readily available, the operation is simple, and the reaction conditions are mild, which is suitable for industrial production. Description of the Drawings

[0069] Performance test

[0070] Using the target products obtained in Examples 1 to 2 as fragrance samples (where the target product 1 obtained in Example 1 corresponds to Compound 3, and the target product 2 obtained in Example 2 corresponds to Compound 5), the fragrance retention effect was tested;

[0071] Test method:

[0072] Add the fragrance sample in an amount of 1 mmol to 80 g of a fragrance-free laundry detergent matrix. After vigorous stirring and mixing, pour the mixture into a "Midea MB55V35E" household washing machine filled with 60 L of tap water, and wash 40 small towels (30*30 cm, about 40 g each) under standard program at room temperature. After the washing is completed, the 40 small towels are dried in a drying room for 24 h. Randomly select 18 small towels, then loosely package them in aluminum foil, and conduct aroma evaluation at 24 h, 72 h, 120 h, and 168 h.

[0073] The number of evaluators is 18, and the tested towels are scored according to the intensity level from 1 to 7 (1: no smell, 2: faint smell, 3: slightly weak smell, 4: medium smell, 5: slightly strong smell, 6: strong smell, 7: very strong smell).

[0074] Using delta-Damascone (corresponding to Compound 1) as a comparative sample, the same test was conducted, and the test results are shown in Table 1 and Figure 6 as follows;

[0076]

[0077]

[0078] From Table 1 and Figure 6 it can be seen that the average score of the odor intensity measured for Compound 3 and Compound 5 at each time point is higher than that of Compound 1; the average score of the odor intensity of Compound 1 at 120 h is "1" (no smell), while Compounds 3 and 5 still have aroma at 168 h, indicating that Compounds 3 and 5 can release α,β-unsaturated ketones more slowly to achieve the purpose of long-lasting fragrance retention.
