Abstract

Compositions, such as consumer products and / or fragrance / flavor compositions, comprising a meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde, such as ortho-ethyl vanillin. Processes for making and using such compositions.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to compositions, such as consumer products and / or fragrance / flavor compositions, comprising meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy) salicylaldehydes, such as ortho-ethyl vanillin. The present disclosure also relates to processes for making and using such compositions. [Background technology]

[0002] Vanilla-scented consumer products, such as cleaning products and fine fragrances, are very popular. Such scents can be provided by compounds of the vanillin family, such as vanillin and ethyl vanillin. Because ethyl vanillin is perceived to have higher intensity than vanillin, ethyl vanillin may also be preferred to save on raw material costs, carbon footprint, and / or formulation space.

[0003] However, these materials can present challenges to manufacturers and / or consumers. For example, due to relatively high melting points, high boiling points, and / or low vapor pressures, the materials are associated with various processing, formulation, and / or performance issues, such as a tendency to crystallize at ambient temperatures. Furthermore, the materials may be characterized by relatively low solubility in certain commercially useful solvents, such as isopropyl myristate, making them inconvenient to process or formulate into products or intermediate compositions. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] There is a need for improved vanilla-flavored consumer products, compositions, and related processes that address these issues. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The present disclosure relates to compositions, such as consumer products and / or fragrance / flavor compositions, comprising meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde compounds, such as ortho-ethyl vanillin.

[0006] For example, the present disclosure relates to a consumer product comprising a first fragrance material that is a meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde, the first fragrance material being present in an amount of at least 0.0005% by weight of the consumer product composition, and a processing aid.

[0007] The present disclosure also relates to a consumer product comprising: a first fragrance material that is a meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde; and any second fragrance material selected from the group consisting of vanillin, ethyl vanillin, or combinations thereof, wherein the weight ratio of the first fragrance material to the second fragrance material (if present) is from 100:0 to 1:99; and a processing aid.

[0008] The present disclosure also relates to a fragrance or flavor composition comprising a first fragrance material, the first fragrance material being a meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde, preferably a meta-(C1-C2 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde, more preferably a meta-(C2 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde, present in an amount of at least 0.005% by weight of the fragrance or flavor composition, and a second fragrance material different from the first fragrance material.

[0009] The present disclosure also relates to a process for making a consumer product, the process comprising combining a first fragrance material with a processing aid or substrate, wherein the first fragrance material is a meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde, preferably a meta-(C1-C2 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde, more preferably a meta-(C2 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde.

[0010] The present disclosure also relates to a process for treating a surface or an environment, the process comprising providing a meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde, preferably a meta-(C1-C2 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde, more preferably a meta-(C2 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde, to the surface or environment.

[0011] The present disclosure also relates to the use of meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde, preferably meta-(C1-C2 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde, more preferably meta-(C2 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde, to provide a vanilla-type fragrance to a consumer product, surface, or environment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] The present disclosure relates to compositions, consumer products, and processes comprising meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy) salicylaldehydes. These fragrance materials have an isomeric structure and odor similar to more commonly used vanilla-scented materials (e.g., vanillin and / or ethyl vanillin).

[0013] However, as will be described in more detail, materials have certain advantageous characteristics that can make them more attractive to product manufacturers. For example, a relatively low melting temperature makes them easier to pump through pipes at lower temperatures, thereby resulting in lower energy costs for manufacturers. A lower boiling point and / or higher vapor pressure makes them more easily volatilized and perceptible to consumers under normal use conditions. Additionally, they are generally more soluble than their isomeric counterparts in common carriers or solvents, such as isopropyl myristate, making them more convenient to formulate, especially at relatively high concentrations.

[0014] The fragrance materials, compositions, consumer products, and related processes are discussed in more detail below.

[0015] As used herein, the articles "a" and "an," when used in a claim, are understood to mean one or more of what is claimed or described.

[0022] It should be understood that every maximum numerical limitation given throughout this specification includes every lower numerical limitation, as if such lower numerical limitations were expressly written herein. Every minimum numerical limitation given throughout this specification includes every higher numerical limitation, as if such higher numerical limitations were expressly written herein. Every numerical range given throughout this specification will include every narrower numerical range that falls within such broader numerical range, as if such narrower numerical ranges were all expressly written herein.

[0023] meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy)salicylaldehyde The compositions, products, and processes described herein comprise meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde compounds. As described in more detail below, it is believed that such materials can provide a vanilla-like aroma to the compositions and products while also possessing certain advantageous characteristics that facilitate more convenient processing and / or improved performance.

[0024] As described herein, the meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde compounds are described as (primary) fragrance materials. However, it is understood that, in acceptable concentrations and where appropriate, the compounds may also be used as flavor materials.

[0025] The basic structure of a meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde compound is provided below as Formula I:

[0026] [ka] wherein R is a C1-C4 alkyl group (e.g., having 1 to 4 carbon atoms). In other words, the —OR group is the “C1-C4 alkoxy” group of meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy)salicylaldehyde.

[0027] The C1-C4 alkoxy group contains 1 to 4 carbon atoms. Due to structural similarity to vanillin and ethyl vanillin, the alkoxy group is preferably a C1-C2 alkoxy group having 1 to 2 carbon atoms (e.g., R is a C1-C2 alkyl group). More preferably, the group is a C2 alkoxy group having 2 carbon atoms (e.g., R is a C2 alkyl group). It may also be preferred that the group is a C1 alkoxy group having 1 carbon atom (e.g., R is a C1 alkyl group). It may also be preferred that the alkoxy group is a C2-C4 alkoxy group having 2 to 4 carbon atoms. The meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy)salicylaldehyde material of the present disclosure may contain compounds having different alkoxy groups (e.g., a mixture of a compound having a C1 alkoxy group and another compound having a C2 alkoxy group).

[0028] The C1-C4 alkyl group may be straight-chain or branched-chain, and preferably the C1-C4 alkyl group is straight-chain.

[0029] When the meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde is a meta-(C1 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde, it is also known as ortho-vanillin, which has the following structure shown as Formula II:

[0030] [ka]

[0031] Other names for ortho-vanillin include 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde, 3-methoxysalicylaldehyde, or simply o-vanillin. Ortho-vanillin is identified by the CAS number 148-53-8. Ortho-vanillin, with a hydroxyl group in the ortho position, is an isomer of vanillin with a hydroxyl group in the para position.

[0032] When the meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde is a meta-(C2 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde, it is also known as ortho-ethyl vanillin, which has the following structure shown as Formula III:

[0033] [ka]

[0034] Other names for ortho-ethyl vanillin include novovanillin, 2-hydroxy-3-ethoxybenzaldehyde, 3-ethoxysalicylaldehyde, or simply o-ethyl vanillin. Ortho-ethyl vanillin is identified by the CAS number 492-88-6. Ortho-ethyl vanillin, with its hydroxyl group in the ortho position, is an isomer of ethyl vanillin, with its hydroxyl group in the para position.

[0035] As further described in the Examples section below, ortho-vanillin (i.e., meta-(C alkoxy) salicylaldehyde) and ortho-ethyl vanillin (i.e., meta-(C alkoxy) salicylaldehyde) are characterized by certain characteristics, including melting point, boiling point, and LogP, which may make them desirable substitutes for, or co-components with, vanillin and / or ethyl vanillin.

[0036] consumer products The present disclosure relates to consumer products comprising meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde. Typically, the consumer products also comprise processing aids. Additionally or alternatively, the consumer products may comprise meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde provided on a substrate.

[0037] The consumer product may take any suitable form. Preferably, the consumer product is a baby care product, a beauty care product, a fabric care product, a home care product, a family care product, a feminine care product, a health care product, a food product, a beverage product, a fine fragrance product, or a combination thereof. The consumer product of the present disclosure may be a composition, a device, or a combination thereof useful for baby care, beauty care, fabric care, home care, family care, feminine care, health care, food, beverage, and / or fine fragrance applications. For consumer health reasons, it may be preferable that the consumer product is not a tobacco-related product such as a cigarette, an e-cigarette, or a product intended to impart a tobacco-like odor (such as an aerosol).

[0038] The consumer product may preferably be a fabric care product and / or a home care product, the home care product being selected from the group consisting of a hard surface cleaner, a dish care product, an air care product, or a combination thereof. The consumer product may be a cleaning and / or treatment product.

[0039] The consumer product may take any suitable form or combination of forms. For example, the consumer product may comprise a form selected from a liquid composition, a granular composition, a hydrocolloid, a single-compartment pouch, a multi-compartment pouch, a dissolvable sheet, a pastille or bead, a fibrous article, a tablet, a stick, a bar, a flake, a spray, a foam / mousse, a nonwoven sheet, a dispensing device, a cream, an absorbent article, a paste, an adhesive, an adhesive patch, or a mixture thereof. The consumer product may also be a composition, such as a liquid composition, contained in a container, a dispensing device, or other suitable article.

[0040] The consumer product may include a first fragrance material that is a meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde, the first fragrance material being present in an amount of at least 0.0005% by weight of the consumer product, and a processing aid.

[0041] Advantageously, the properties of the meta(C1-C4 alkoxy)salicylaldehydes described herein may allow them to be incorporated into consumer products at relatively higher concentrations than their isomeric counterparts. For example, the materials of the present disclosure are relatively more soluble in common solvents or carriers (e.g., isopropyl myristate) than their isomeric counterparts, and therefore can be dissolved or otherwise formulated in relatively larger amounts while maintaining adequate stability.

[0042] The consumer product may comprise a first fragrance material (e.g., meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde) in an amount of at least 0.0005%, preferably at least 0.001%, more preferably at least 0.01%, preferably at least 0.1%, preferably at least 0.5%, more preferably at least 1% by weight of the consumer product. It is preferred that a certain minimum amount of the first fragrance material be present to deliver the desired olfactory performance.

[0043] The consumer product may comprise a first fragrance material (e.g., meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde) in an amount of up to about 99% by weight of the consumer product, preferably up to about 50%, preferably up to about 25%, more preferably up to about 10%, even more preferably up to about 5%, and even more preferably up to about 1%. It may be preferable to have a certain maximum amount or limit of the first fragrance material present to include other adjuvants or fragrance materials.

[0044] The consumer product may include a first fragrance material (e.g., meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde) in an amount of from about 0.01% to about 99% by weight of the consumer product, preferably from about 0.1% to about 50% by weight, more preferably from about 0.5% to about 10% by weight, and more preferably from about 1% to about 5% by weight.

[0045] First fragrance materials (e.g., meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde), particularly C1 and / or C2 alkoxy materials (e.g., ortho-vanillin and / or ortho-ethyl vanillin), when synthetically produced, may be known to be in the presence of their isomeric counterparts (e.g., vanillin and / or ethyl vanillin). However, meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde materials are typically treated as undesirable impurities to be removed. In contrast, the present disclosure actively seeks to incorporate these materials into products and compositions due to their desirable characteristics. Accordingly, it may be desirable to formulate products and / or compositions comprising certain weight ratios of materials of the present disclosure to their isomeric counterparts, including weight ratios greater than 1:1.

[0046] For example, a consumer product may include a first fragrance material that is meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde, any second fragrance material selected from the group of vanillin, ethyl vanillin, or combinations thereof, and a processing aid, wherein the weight ratio of the first fragrance material to the second fragrance material (if present) is from 100:0 to 1:99.

[0047] The weight ratio of the first fragrance material to the second fragrance material (i.e., vanillin, ethyl vanillin, or a mixture thereof) may be from 100:0 to 1:99, preferably from 100:0 to 25:75, preferably from 100:0 to 50:50, more preferably from 100:0 to 51:49, more preferably from 100:0 to 75:25, more preferably from 100:0 to 90:10, more preferably from 100:0 to 95:5, more preferably from 100:0 to 99:1.

[0048] It may be particularly preferred to control the weight ratio of meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy)salicylaldehyde to its isomeric counterpart. For example, the weight ratio of ortho-vanillin to vanillin may be 100:0 to 1:99, preferably 100:0 to 25:75, preferably 100:0 to 50:50, more preferably 100:0 to 51:49, more preferably 100:0 to 75:25, more preferably 100:0 to 90:10, more preferably 100:0 to 95:5, more preferably 100:0 to 99:1. The weight ratio of ortho-ethyl vanillin to ethyl vanillin may be 100:0 to 1:99, preferably 100:0 to 25:75, preferably 100:0 to 50:50, more preferably 100:0 to 51:49, more preferably 100:0 to 75:25, more preferably 100:0 to 90:10, more preferably 100:0 to 95:5, more preferably 100:0 to 99:1.

[0049] It may be preferable to incorporate only the materials of the present disclosure and exclude their isomeric counterparts. For example, the consumer product may be substantially free of a second fragrance material selected from the group consisting of vanillin, ethyl vanillin, and combinations thereof. In particular, the consumer product may include ortho-vanillin and be substantially free of vanillin. Additionally or alternatively, the consumer product may include ortho-ethyl vanillin and be substantially free of ethyl vanillin.

[0050] As described above, the consumer product includes a first fragrance material that is a meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde. Preferably, the first fragrance material is a meta-(C1-C2 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde (i.e., ortho-vanillin, ortho-ethyl vanillin, or a mixture thereof). More preferably, the first fragrance material is a meta-(C2 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde (i.e., ortho-ethyl vanillin).

[0051] The alkoxy group in the first fragrance material can be a straight-chain or branched alkoxy group, preferably a straight-chain alkoxy group.

[0052] For convenient availability, it may be preferred that the first fragrance material be synthetically prepared. For environmental reasons, it may be preferred that the first fragrance material be naturally derived. When vanillin and / or ethyl vanillin are present, it may be preferred that the first fragrance material be naturally derived and present in relatively large amounts. For example, the first fragrance material may be present in a weight ratio to the second fragrance material, where the second fragrance material is selected from the group consisting of vanillin, ethyl vanillin, and combinations thereof, and the weight ratio is 1:1 or greater.

[0053] The first fragrance material can be present in a consumer product as a free oil or can be part of a perfume delivery system. For example, meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde can be encapsulated in a delivery particle or otherwise associated with the delivery particle (e.g., embedded in the delivery particle). For example, meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde can be present in the core of a core-shell delivery particle. The meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde can be covalently or ionically, preferably covalently, bonded to a carrier material, thereby forming a pro-fragrance material that releases the meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde upon bond disruption, such as by exposure to water or light. Thus, the first fragrance material, e.g., meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde, can be part of a perfume delivery system, which can be a delivery particle, a pro-fragrance material, or a combination thereof.

[0054] As mentioned above, consumer products contain processing aids. Processing aid materials can provide benefits in the intended end use of the composition, or can be processing aids and / or stabilizing aids. The exact nature of the processing aid and the concentration at which it is incorporated will depend on the physical form of the composition and the nature of the work used. Those skilled in the art will be able to select the appropriate material and concentration for a given product or application.

[0055] Suitable processing aids may include surfactants, conditioning actives, deposition aids, rheology modifiers or structurants, bleaching systems, stabilizers, builders, chelating agents, dye transfer inhibitors, dispersants, enzymes, enzyme stabilizers, catalytic metal complexes, polymeric dispersants, mud and soil removal / anti-redeposition agents, brighteners, suds suppressors, silicones, hueing agents, aesthetic dyes, undiluted perfume, additional perfume delivery systems, structural elastomers, carriers, hydrotropes, processing aids, anti-agglomerating agents, coatings, formaldehyde scavengers, pigments, or mixtures thereof.

[0056] The processing aid may include a carrier. Such a carrier may be hydrophilic (e.g., water) or hydrophobic (e.g., oil) in nature. The meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy) salicylaldehydes described herein are relatively hydrophobic in nature and can be conveniently combined with a hydrophobic carrier. Carriers particularly useful in consumer products include, but are not limited to, isopropyl myristate (IPM), dipropylene glycol, propylene glycol monomethyl ether (DPM), tripropylene glycol monomethyl ester (TPM), triethyl citrate (TEC), or mixtures thereof. Thus, the consumer product may include a carrier, which is preferably IPM, DPM, or a mixture thereof. Preferably, the carrier includes isopropyl myristate.

[0057] Isopropyl myristate and other hydrophobic carriers may be particularly useful when the meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde is encapsulated in certain core-shell delivery particles, such as those having an acrylate- or chitosan-based shell. The core of the delivery particle may include both isopropyl myristate and meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde, preferably C1-C2 alkoxy, more preferably C2 alkoxy.

[0058] Fragrance or flavor composition The present disclosure also relates to fragrance or flavor compositions. Such compositions typically comprise a mixture of fragrance and / or flavor ingredients. The fragrance or flavor compositions of the present disclosure can be in the form of a premix or intermediate composition that is combined with other ingredients to make a final product, such as a consumer product.

[0059] For example, the fragrance or flavor composition may take the form of a fragrance composition, which is a mixture of fragrance materials such as a fragrance accord that can be incorporated into a consumer product.

[0060] The fragrance or flavor composition may comprise a first fragrance material and a second fragrance material different from the first fragrance material, wherein the first fragrance material is a meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde, preferably a meta-(C1-C2 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde, more preferably a meta-(C2 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde, and wherein the first fragrance material is present in an amount of at least 1% by weight of the fragrance or flavor composition.

[0061] The first fragrance material may be present in an amount of at least 0.005%, preferably at least 0.05%, or even 0.1%. The first fragrance material may be present in an amount of about 0.005% to about 10%, preferably about 0.05% to about 3%, and more preferably about 0.1% to about 1.5%. The first fragrance material may be present in an amount of at least 1%, preferably at least 2%, more preferably at least 5%, or even at least 10%, or even at least 20% by weight of the fragrance or flavor composition. The first fragrance material may be present in an amount of 1% to about 99% by weight of the fragrance or flavor composition, preferably 1% to about 50%, more preferably about 1% to about 25%, more preferably about 1% to about 10%, and even more preferably about 1% to about 5% by weight.

[0062] The second fragrance material may be a perfume raw material. As used herein, the term "perfume raw material" (or "PRM") refers to a compound having a molecular weight of at least about 100 g / mol and useful for imparting an odor, fragrance, essence, or scent, alone or in combination with other perfume raw materials. Typical PRMs include, among others, aromatic and / or aliphatic alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, esters, ethers, carboxylic acids, nitrites, and alkenes, such as terpenes, and alkynes. Lists of common PRMs can be found in various reference sources, such as "Perfume and Flavor Chemicals," Vol. I and Vol. II; Steffen Arctander Allured Pub. Co. (1994) and "Perfumes: Art, Science and Technology," Miller, PM and Lamparsky, D., Blackie Academic and Professional (1994).

[0063] The second fragrance material may be vanillin, ethyl vanillin, or a mixture thereof. However, it may be particularly preferred to control the weight ratio of meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde to its isomeric counterpart. For example, the weight ratio of ortho-vanillin to vanillin may be 100:0 to 1:99, preferably 100:0 to 25:75, preferably 100:0 to 50:50, more preferably 100:0 to 51:49, more preferably 100:0 to 75:25, more preferably 100:0 to 90:10, more preferably 100:0 to 95:5, and more preferably 100:0 to 99:1. The weight ratio of ortho-ethyl vanillin to ethyl vanillin may be 100:0 to 1:99, preferably 100:0 to 25:75, preferably 100:0 to 50:50, more preferably 100:0 to 51:49, more preferably 100:0 to 75:25, more preferably 100:0 to 90:10, more preferably 100:0 to 95:5, more preferably 100:0 to 99:1.

[0064] The second fragrance material may be selected from the group consisting of any fragrance material that is suitable for the intended product or end use. As non-limiting illustrative examples, suitable second fragrance materials are provided below in Table A. The second fragrance material may be selected from the group provided in Table A, or combinations thereof.

[0065] [Table 1]

[0066] To provide a complete and desirable olfactory experience, the aroma or flavor composition may contain three or more aroma materials. The aroma or flavor composition may further contain a third aroma material. The aroma or flavor composition may contain from 2 to about 50 aroma materials, preferably from 2 to about 30 aroma materials. For simplicity and ease of manufacture, it may be desirable to limit the number of components in the aroma or flavor composition. For example, the aroma or flavor composition may contain from 2 to about 20, or from about 15, or from about 10 aroma materials.

[0067] The fragrance or flavor composition may further comprise a carrier, preferably a carrier comprising isopropyl myristate (IPM), dipropylene glycol, propylene glycol monomethyl ether (DPM), tripropylene glycol monomethyl ester (TPM), triethyl citrate (TEC), or a mixture thereof, more preferably a carrier comprising isopropyl myristate.

[0068] Other useful carriers may be solvents or emulsifiers, such as non-ionic surfactants, which may aid in incorporating the aroma or flavor composition into the final product form. The aroma or flavor composition may be in the form of an emulsion, preferably an oil-in-water emulsion.

[0069] The fragrance or flavor composition of the present disclosure can be incorporated into consumer products, which is described in more detail above.Therefore, the present disclosure relates to consumer products that comprise the fragrance or flavor composition described herein.Preferably, the consumer product is baby care product, beauty care product, fabric care product, home care product, family care product, feminine care product, health care product, food product, beverage product, fine fragrance product, or combination thereof.

[0070] The aroma or flavor composition may be present in the consumer product in an amount of at least 0.1%, preferably at least 0.5%, and more preferably at least 1% by weight of the consumer product. The aroma or flavor composition may be present in the consumer product in an amount of from about 0.1% to about 99.9%, or from about 0.1% to about 50%, or from about 0.1% to about 25%, or from about 0.1% to about 10%, or from about 0.1% to about 5%, or from about 1% to about 5% by weight of the consumer product.

[0071] Additional Fragrance Ingredients: The fragrance compositions disclosed herein may also include additional fragrance materials. Some non-limiting examples of such additional fragrance materials are listed in Table B below. At least one of the additional fragrance materials listed in Table B may be utilized alone in a consumer product or in combination with any other fragrance material disclosed herein.

[0072] [Table 2-1]

[0073] [Table 2-2]

[0074] The process of creating consumer products The present disclosure also relates to a process for making a consumer product, for example, the process may include combining a first fragrance material with a processing aid or substrate, where the first fragrance material is a meta-(C1-C4 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde, preferably a meta-(C1-C2 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde, more preferably a meta-(C2 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde.

[0075] Preferably, the first fragrance material is in liquid form. The first fragrance material may be combined with one or more other materials. For example, the first fragrance material may be part of a fragrance or flavor composition that includes at least a second fragrance material.

[0090] Test Method It will be understood that the test methods disclosed in the Test Methods section of this application should be used to determine the values ​​of each of the parameters of the inventive subject matter claimed and described herein.

[0091] solubility method Solutions of vanillin (121-33-5), ethyl vanillin (121-32-4), and o-ethyl vanillin (492-88-6) were diluted in IPM at 8.00E -2g / L. Each of these is used to make five further serial two-fold dilutions in IPM, resulting in a set of six solutions for each solute. The absorbance values ​​(at 300 nm) of the vanillin and ethyl vanillin solutions, as well as the absorbance value (at 343 nm) of the o-ethyl vanillin solution, are used to construct a standard calibration curve for each molecule (linear regression correlation coefficient R 2 ≥ 0.998).

[0092] Mixtures of 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 weight percent of each compound in IPM were prepared by adding the solid compound to IPM, sonicating at 50°C for 1 hour, and cooling to room temperature for 3 hours. Some of these solutions were saturated, i.e., composed of both dissolved and undissolved compound. The saturated solutions of each compound were then filtered to remove undissolved compound, and each filtrate was diluted 1:10,000 in IPM. The absorbance values ​​(at 300 nm) of the vanillin and ethyl vanillin filtrates and the absorbance value (at 343 nm) of the o-ethyl vanillin filtrate were used to calculate concentrations based on calibration curves, with the maximum concentration value considered to be the solubility limit of vanillin, ethyl vanillin, and o-ethyl vanillin in IPM.

[0093] headspace method Perfume headspace data is collected for a variety of materials according to the methods provided below.

[0094] Partition coefficients are calculated by determining the amount of PRM in the headspace above a solution with known concentration using a GC / FID-MS (Agilent 7890 and 5977A MSD) equipped with a thermal desorption unit (Gerstel MPS2) and a dynamic headspace sampler (Gerstel DHS). This technique allows for automated headspace collection using a multipurpose sampler (MPS). The PRM of interest is prepared at a known concentration in isopropyl myristate (IPM) or propylene glycol monomethyl ether (DPM), and 1 mL is pipetted into a 20 mL headspace vial.

[0095] DHS conditions: The sample is adjusted to 30° C. in the unit. A 10 ml / min helium flow purges 20 mL of headspace containing the analyte above the sample onto a sorbent tube (TDU) containing 25 mg of TenaxTA 35 / 60 (Restek catalog number 25701).

[0096] TDU conditions: The sorbent tube is desorbed using a program starting with a 2-minute solvent vent at 30°C, then ramping at 720°C / min to 270°C and holding for 8 minutes. The analytes are refocused onto a glass bead liner at -60°C and then desorbed onto the GC column at a rate of 12°C / sec to 270°C.

[0097] GC / MS conditions: Utilize a 30 m x 250 μm x 0.25 μm Agilent 122-5532UI column and a flow rate of 1.5 mL / min. A temperature program from 50 °C to 280 °C with a 2 min hold and a ramp rate of 12 °C / min is preferred. Scan or SIM mode MSD parameters with a solvent delay for DPM are applied to achieve adequate detection.

[0098] Analytical standards can be obtained from Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, and BioSynth, UK. Stock solutions are prepared at approximately 0.5 g / L. The stock solutions are then diluted to 4-5 concentrations ranging from approximately 0.05 g / L to 0.00005 g / L. These standard solutions are then analyzed by GC / MS. This analysis is performed using the same TDU desorption and GC / MS conditions as above, with a 1 μL liquid injection onto the TDU tubing instead of DHS collection. A linear fit is used to generate a calibration plot using the amount injected onto the column and the area response of the target m / z.

[0099] Quantification of the headspace is performed by linear equation of the PRM target m / z area response of the perfume ingredients and the calibration plot. [Example]

[0100] The examples provided below are illustrative in nature and not intended to be limiting.

[0101] Example 1. Comparison of Materials and Characteristics / Physical Properties The following tables compare the structures and various characteristics of materials according to the present disclosure with their isomeric counterparts. Specifically, Table 1 compares the comparative material vanillin with ortho-vanillin (also known as meta-(C1 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde). Table 2 compares the comparative material ethyl vanillin with ortho-ethyl vanillin (also known as meta-(C2 alkoxy) salicylaldehyde).

[0102] [Table 3]

[0103] [Table 4]

[0104] As shown in Tables 1 and 2, compared to its isomers (vanillin and ethyl vanillin, each with a hydroxyl in the para position), the ortho version of each material is characterized by a lower melting point, which is associated with a reduced tendency to crystallize and indicates a lower amount of energy required to melt the material and make it flow through a pipe.

[0105] Furthermore, the ortho versions of each material are characterized by a lower boiling point, which tends to be associated with a higher vapor pressure. Such materials may volatilize more readily and therefore may be perceived at lower concentrations in consumer products. This, in turn, allows them to be formulated at lower concentrations, thereby conserving formulation space.

[0106] Additionally, the ortho version of each material is characterized by a higher ClogP than its para counterpart, indicating that the ortho material is relatively more hydrophobic and / or may partition more efficiently into hydrophobic solvents (such as IPM). For ethyl vanillin versus ortho-ethyl vanillin, this is indicated by the difference in solubility in IPM.

[0107] Example 2. Headspace Data Fragrance headspace data is collected for a variety of materials according to the headspace method provided above in the Test Methods section. Air / solvent partition coefficients are determined and indexed accordingly (e.g., the partition coefficient for ethyl vanillin is set to 1.00).

[0108] The results for vanillin, ethyl vanillin, and ortho-ethyl vanillin in isopropyl myristate (IPM) and propylene glycol monomethyl ether (DPM) are provided below in Tables 3 and 4, respectively.

[0109] [Table 5] * Average of two copies.

[0110] [Table 6] * Average of three replicates.

[0111] Overall, ortho-ethyl vanillin enters the headspace from IPM, a common solvent used in fragrance delivery particles, at approximately 6.2 times higher levels than its structural isomer, ethyl vanillin, and from DPM at approximately 94 times higher levels than ethyl vanillin. The increased volatility of ortho-ethyl vanillin compared to ethyl vanillin is advantageous because a higher proportion of ortho-ethyl vanillin is found in air than in consumer products. Therefore, ortho-ethyl vanillin is more likely to be perceived at lower concentrations in consumer products, or at higher intensities at equivalent concentrations in consumer products.

Instead, unless otherwise indicated, each such dimension is intended to mean both the recited value and a functionally equivalent range surrounding that value. For example, a dimension disclosed as "40 mm" is intended to mean "about 40 mm."
