However, traditional combinations of flavoring ingredients sometimes fail to meet these requirements, creating a strong need for new flavoring materials. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention provides a novel aromatic compound useful as a raw material for blending fragrances and the like, and a fragrance composition containing the compound.

[0004] The inventors synthesized various compounds and studied their aromas, and found that compounds with aldehyde and ester structures at the ends have excellent aromas.

[0005] That is, the present invention relates to the following [1] to [6].

[0006] [1] A compound represented by the following formula (1).

[0007]

[0008] (In formula (1), R represents an alkyl group with 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and the wavy line represents cis or trans, or a mixture of cis and trans.)

[0009] [2] According to the compound described in [1] above, wherein R is methyl.

[0010] [3] A fragrance composition comprising the compounds described in [1] or [2] above.

[0011] [4] The spice composition according to [3] above is used in food and beverage products.

[0012] [5] Food and beverage products, oral compositions, tobacco products or consumer products, wherein the product contains the compound described in [1] or [2] above, or the flavoring composition described in [3] or [4].

[0013] [6] A method for manufacturing food and beverage products, oral compositions, tobacco products or consumer products, characterized in that the compound described in [1] or [2] above, or the flavoring composition described in [3] or [4] above, is added.

[0014] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide novel aromatic compounds useful as raw materials for blending fragrances, and fragrance compositions containing such compounds. Detailed Implementation

[0015] The present invention will now be described in detail.

[0016] For the (5E)-6,10-dimethyl-11-oxoundec-5,9-dien-2-ylcarboxylic acid ester (hereinafter also referred to as the compound of the present invention), in the case of an acetate ester, there are two isomers represented by (1a) and (1b) below. Either one can be used alone, or they can be used in the form of a mixture thereof, with compound (1a) being preferred.

[0017]

[0018] In addition, there are two mirror isomers, represented by (1c) and (1d) below. Either one can be used alone, or they can be used in mixtures.

[0019]

[0020] The compounds (1a) and (1b) of the present invention can be prepared by, for example, the following steps.

[0021] NaBH4 was used to act on geranylacetone for ketone reduction, followed by acetylation with acetyl chloride to produce geranylace acetate. Next, allyl chloride was synthesized by chlorination of calcium hypochlorite, followed by the introduction of a hydroxyl group via formate transfer, and then allyl alcohol was synthesized from triethylamine. This was then oxidized with manganese dioxide to obtain a mixture of compounds (1a) and (1b). The above steps are summarized and shown in the following synthetic scheme.

[0022]

[0023] (In the composite scheme, the wavy line represents either a cis or an inverse, or a mixture of both.)

[0024] The compounds (1a) and (1b) of the present invention obtained in this way can be purified by distillation, various chromatographic methods, etc.

[0025] The compounds of this invention have excellent aroma and can be used alone or in combination with other ingredients as flavoring agents in food and beverage products, oral compositions, tobacco products, etc.

[0026] The flavoring compositions and compounds of the present invention can be directly incorporated into food and beverage products in minute quantities to impart or enhance aroma and flavor, or they can be mixed with other ingredients to impart or enhance aroma and flavor.
