2,3,6-TRIMETHYLCYCLOHEXANOL AS AN ODORBING AND / OR AROMATING SUBSTANCE

Description

[0001] The present invention primarily relates to the use of 2,3,6-trimethylcyclohexanol, i.e., a compound of formula (I) as described herein, as a fragrance and / or flavoring agent for imparting, modifying, and / or enhancing one or more odor and / or flavor notes as described herein. The invention also relates to novel fragrance and / or flavoring compositions comprising the compound of formula (I) as described herein, perfumed and / or flavored articles comprising the compound of formula (I) as described herein, and various methods for imparting, modifying, and / or enhancing certain odor and / or flavor notes.

[0002] Further aspects and preferred embodiments of the present invention will become apparent from the following explanations, the attached examples and in particular the attached patent claims.

[0003] Despite a multitude of existing fragrances and / or aromas, there is still a general need for new fragrances and / or aromas in the perfume and aroma industry. For example, there is a need for fragrances and / or aromas that are capable of creating additional interesting notes (in fragrance and / or aroma compositions) in addition to a primary fragrance / flavor note, and that, with their novel or original olfactory properties, expand the options available to perfumers and flavorists. There is particular interest in fragrances with notes that are capable of harmoniously combining with floral and / or fruity fragrances. The preferred approach is to layer the different olfactory aspects and notes to create an overall complex olfactory impression.

[0004] For the creation of novel compositions, there is a constant demand for fragrances and / or aromas with special sensory properties that are suitable for serving as the basis for the composition of novel perfumes or aromas with complex sensory characteristics. Preferred fragrances and / or aromas should, in addition to a specific note, exhibit additional notes and aspects that lend them character and complexity.

[0005] The search for suitable substances, which led to the present invention, was complicated by the following facts: The mechanisms of olfactory perception are not sufficiently known; the relationships between the specific olfactory perception on the one hand and the chemical structure of the corresponding odorant on the other hand have not been sufficiently researched; often even minor changes in the structural composition of a known odorant cause significant changes in the sensory properties and impair its tolerance to the human organism.

[0006] The primary task was now to find fragrances and / or flavorings that have an interesting, preferably complex, and original sensory profile and are suitable as fragrances for use in, for example, perfumery or as flavorings for flavoring, for example, edible preparations.

[0007] Within the scope of the present invention, substances were particularly sought which have or can convey, modify and / or intensify one, several or all of the notes green, woody, animalic, earthy, amber, fruity, floral and leather notes.

[0008] The sought-after substances should enable the production of novel fragrance and / or flavor compositions with distinctive odor and / or flavor notes and aspects. Advantageous would be those substances that are particularly suitable for combination with other fragrances or flavors that exhibit woody, animalic, earthy, and amber notes.

[0009] In addition, the fragrances and / or flavorings fulfilling this primary task should preferably have additional positive secondary properties beyond their primary, namely olfactory or taste-related, properties, such as high stability under certain application conditions, high yield, good adhesion, high substantivity or odor and / or taste-enhancing properties (so-called booster or enhancer effect), and / or in combination with other fragrances and / or flavorings, round off their naturalness, freshness, fullness, (radiance) power and / or charisma, so that sensory remarkable effects can be achieved.

[0010] DE 2317000 by Wilkinson Sword Ltd. relates to ingestible, topical, and other compositions with a physiological cooling effect on the skin and mucous membranes of the body, particularly the mucous membranes of the nose and respiratory tract. 2,3,6-Trimethylcyclohexanol is not disclosed in DE 2317000.

[0011] DE 3003518 concerns the use of 1-ethyl-2,2,6-trimethyl-cyclohexanol as a perfume and aroma ingredient.

[0012] JP S50 22548B discloses a process for producing 2,3,6-trimethylcyclohexanol starting from 2,3,6-trimethylphenol. The odor properties of the substances or mixtures used or obtained are not mentioned.

[0013] According to the invention, the primary object is achieved by using the compound of formula (I) (2,3,6-trimethylcyclohexanol, CAS No. 58210-03-0) as a fragrance and / or flavoring substance for imparting, modifying and / or enhancing one or more odor and / or flavor notes selected from the group consisting of the notes green, herbaceous, fresh, fruity, floral, woody, animalic, sweet, earthy, amber, fatty, metallic, balsamic, leather note and chlorine note, preferably one or more of the odor and / or flavor notes selected from the group consisting of the notes green, woody, animalic, earthy, amber, fruity, floral, leather note and chlorine note.

[0014] The compound of formula (I) to be used according to the invention can exist as any stereoisomer and thus also in any optically active form. Within the scope of the present invention, any mixtures of stereoisomers of the compound of formula (I) can also be used, for example a diastereomer mixture, enantiomer mixture, or a racemate. That is, the term "compound of formula (I)" in this text also includes any mixtures of different stereoisomers of the compound of formula (I).

[0015] What has been said herein for a compound of formula (I), in particular the advantages described herein, also apply to a mixture of stereoisomers of the compound of formula (I) to be used or employed according to the invention (see above).

[0016] The compound of formula (I) possesses unique olfactory properties that clearly distinguish and even surpass known fragrances and / or aromas. The suitability of the compound of formula (I) as a fragrance and / or aroma substance was previously unknown. It is therefore particularly surprising that, in this already well-researched field, a fragrance and / or aroma substance with valuable, interesting, and complex olfactory properties could be discovered.

[0017] The use according to the invention preferably relates to a use for imparting, modifying and / or enhancing one or more odor and / or taste notes selected from the group consisting of the notes green, herbaceous, fresh, fruity, floral, woody, animalic, sweet, earthy, amber, fatty, metallic, balsamic and leather note, preferably one or more of the odor and / or taste notes selected from the group consisting of the notes green, woody, animalic, earthy, amber, fruity, floral and leather note.

[0018] A preferred embodiment relates to the use of the compound of formula (I) for imparting one, two or more olfactory and / or taste notes selected from the group consisting of the notes green, herbaceous, fresh, fruity, floral, woody, sweet, earthy, fatty, metallic and balsamic.

[0019] A further preferred embodiment relates to the use of the compound of formula (I) for imparting a green and / or fruity, preferably a green and fruity, preferably a pineapple-like, odor and / or taste note and additionally one, two or more odor and / or taste notes selected from the group consisting of the notes herbaceous, fresh, floral, woody, sweet, earthy, fatty, metallic and balsamic.

[0020] The fact that the compound of formula (I) to be used according to the invention may impart a very complex and diverse olfactory and taste impression, which can otherwise usually only be achieved by mixtures of several components (such as essential oils or spice mixtures), is particularly surprising.

[0021] In addition to the primary, namely olfactory and gustatory, properties, the compound of formula (I) also has positive secondary properties, in particular good adhesion and high substantivity compared to fragrances with similar olfactory properties, as well as high stability in certain media and preparations and high yield, and is also biodegradable.

[0022] The compound of formula (I) to be used according to the invention exhibits high, exceptional stability, particularly in largely neutral, but especially in alkaline and / or oxidizing media. These properties in particular make the compound of formula (I) eminently suitable for use as a fragrance and / or flavoring agent, particularly when used in perfumed or flavored articles (preparations) that have a pH of 5.5 or greater, preferably greater than or equal to 6, preferably greater than 7, more preferably greater than 7.5, and particularly preferably greater than 8; furthermore, in oxidizing preparations that preferably have a pH of greater than or equal to 7, preferably in oxidizing preparations with a pH of greater than or equal to 8. The pH values ​​stated refer in each case to values ​​measured at 25°C.

[0023] The compound of formula (I) to be used according to the invention can advantageously enhance the intensity of an odoriferous or aromatic substance mixture (odoriferous and / or aromatic substance composition) and round off the overall odor and / or flavor of the mixture and can be used to impart more fullness, freshness, (radiant) power, radiance, shine, roundness, harmony and / or naturalness to an odoriferous and / or aromatic substance composition.

[0024] Furthermore, the compound of formula (I) is suitable as an agent for increasing the substantivity and / or retention of an odoriferous and / or aromatic substance mixture and / or as a fixative.

[0025] If inadvertently a discrepancy should occur in this text between the chemical name and the structural formula shown of the compound of formula (I), the structural formula shown shall prevail.

[0026] Advantageously, the compound of formula (I) to be used according to the invention also exhibits sensory properties of the ocimene type and has a chloro-skatole note.

[0027] Due to the chlorine-skatole note, the compound of formula (I) is suitable, among other things, as a signaling substance in antibacterial applications.

[0028] A further preferred embodiment therefore relates to the use of the compound of formula (I) for imparting, modifying and / or enhancing the odor and / or taste note of chlorine.

[0029] In many countries, a chlorine-like odor or taste note, in particular an olfactory note, is associated with the impression of cleanliness, hygiene and antibacterial properties. The use according to the invention is particularly advantageous for this reason, since it can convey, modify and / or intensify a chlorine note without chlorine actually having to be added to the fragrance and / or aroma compositions according to the invention or to perfumed and / or flavored articles (as described further below) containing the compound of the formula (I), or more advantageously, these can have a much lower actual chlorine content, which without the odor enhancement by the compound of the formula (I) would under certain circumstances not be detectable by the senses. This chlorine signaling effect of the compound of the formula (I), i.e. conveying the impression that a fragrance and / or aroma composition according to the invention orA perfumed and / or flavored article according to the invention (as described below) is or has a particularly clean, hygienic and / or antibacterial effect due to its sensorially perceptible chlorine note, is particularly popular with many consumers and can be used particularly advantageously in oral care products, such as mouthwashes and dental care products, and surface cleaners, such as toilet cleaners and all-purpose cleaners.

[0030] The compound of formula (I) is already known from the literature (see, for example, WO2010122178, WO2014198602, WO2010097479, EP2389922, EP50229, and US20110294876). However, its sensory properties and suitability as a fragrance and / or flavoring agent are not described in the prior art.

[0031] The compound of formula (I) to be used according to the invention can be prepared using conventional reactions and processes. For example, the corresponding phenol (CAS No. 2416-94-6) or a corresponding ketone (e.g., CAS No. 20030-30-2) can be hydrogenated to the compound of formula (I) using appropriate catalysts and under appropriate conditions (the starting materials used for this purpose are commercially available):

[0032] Preparation of the compound of formula (I) from the corresponding phenol (above) or a corresponding ketone (below) by hydrogenation

[0033] The compound of formula (I) to be used according to the invention is usually used in a sensorially effective amount within the scope of the inventive use, i.e. in a total amount in which it exerts a sensory effect. The compound of formula (I) to be used according to the invention is preferably used together with other fragrances and / or flavorings. Such fragrance and / or flavoring compositions can be prepared in the usual way, for example by simply mixing or homogenizing the components. These further fragrances and / or flavorings can be any desired other fragrances and / or flavorings (preferred combinations are set out below).

[0034] A further aspect of the present invention therefore relates to a fragrance and / or aroma composition comprising or consisting of the compound of formula (I) and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten or more further fragrance and / or flavoring substance(s), wherein the weight ratio of the total amount of compound of formula (I) to the total amount of further fragrance and / or flavoring substance(s) is in the range from 1:1000 to 1:0.1, preferably from 1:1000 to 1:0.5, and wherein the total amount of compound of formula (I) is contained in the fragrance and / or flavoring composition in an amount sufficient to produce one or more fragrance and / or flavor notes selected from the group consisting of the notes green, herbaceous, fresh, fruity, floral, woody, animalic, sweet, earthy, amber, greasy, metallic, balsamic, leather note and chlorine note, preferably at least one of the fragrance and / or flavor notes selected from the group consisting of the notes green, woody, animalic, earthy, amber, fruity, floral, leather note and chlorine note,to impart and / or intensify and / or modify one or more odor and / or taste notes of one or more of the other odor and / or flavor substances of the odor and / or flavor composition in the direction of one or more of these odor and / or taste notes.

[0035] It is preferred if the total amount of compound of formula (I), based on the total weight of the fragrance and / or aroma composition, is in the range from 0.0001 to 90% by weight, preferably 0.05 to 80% by weight, 0.1 to 70% by weight, 0.25 to 50% by weight, 0.5 to 40% by weight or 0.75 to 25% by weight.

[0036] If the compound of formula (I) is primarily used to impart more freshness, radiance, roundness, harmony and / or naturalness to a fragrance and / or aroma composition and / or to enhance certain notes (already present due to other fragrances and / or aromas), the total amount of the compound of formula (I) can also be selected to be comparatively low and, for example, preferably in the range of 0.01 to 5 wt.%, more preferably in the range of 0.1 to 2 wt.%, based on the total amount of the fragrance and / or aroma composition. If a comparatively low concentration is selected within the preferred concentration ranges, depending on the other components of the respective composition, the inherent odor and / or flavor notes stated herein may not yet be imparted in individual cases.Thus, depending on the desired effect of the compound of formula (I), the skilled person can select a suitable amount of compound of formula (I) for the particular application.

[0037] Due to its olfactory properties, the compound of formula (I) is ideally suited for use in fragrance and / or aroma compositions according to the invention. The compound of formula (I) can advantageously be combined with a variety of other fragrances or aromas and used in numerous different products and articles.

[0038] Preferably, for a fragrance and / or aroma composition according to the invention, the total amount of compound of formula (I) is present in the fragrance and / or aroma composition in a sensorially effective amount, preferably in an amount sufficient to impart and / or intensify one or more odor and / or taste notes selected from the group consisting of the notes green, herbaceous, fresh, fruity, floral, woody, animalic, sweet, earthy, amber, fatty, metallic, balsamic and leather note, preferably at least one of the odor and / or taste notes selected from the group consisting of the notes green, woody, animalic, earthy, amber, fruity, floral and leather note, preferably consisting of green and fruity, more preferably a leather note, and / or to impart and / or intensify one or more odor and / or taste notes of one or moreof the further odoriferous and / or aromatic substance(s) of the odoriferous and / or aromatic substance composition in the direction of one or more of these odor and / or flavor notes.

[0039] It is particularly preferred if (i) the or one, several or all of the further fragrance and / or aroma substances (likewise) impart, modify and / or intensify one or more odor and / or taste notes selected from the group consisting of the notes green, herbaceous, fresh, fruity, floral, woody, animalic, sweet, earthy, amber, fatty, metallic, balsamic and leather note, preferably one or more of the odor and / or taste notes selected from the group consisting of the notes green, woody, animalic, earthy, amber, fruity, floral and leather note, particularly preferably selected from the group consisting of the notes fruity and floral, or (ii) the or one, several or all of the further fragrance and / or aroma substances impart, modify and / or intensify one or more other odor and / or taste notes than those mentioned in (i). It is further preferred if

[0040] (i) the or one, several or all of the further fragrance and / or aroma substances (likewise) impart, modify and / or intensify one or more odor and / or taste notes selected from the group consisting of the notes green, herbaceous, fresh, fruity, floral, woody, animalic, sweet, earthy, amber, fatty, metallic, balsamic, leather note and chlorine note, preferably one or more of the odor and / or taste notes selected from the group consisting of the notes green, woody, animalic, earthy, amber, fruity, floral, leather note and chlorine note, particularly preferably selected from the group consisting of the notes fruity, floral and chlorine note, or (ii) the or one, several or all of the further fragrance and / or aroma substances impart, modify and / or intensify one or more other odor and / or taste notes than those mentioned in (i).
