Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of perfumery. More specifically, the present invention relates to a compound of formula (I) that can provide a long-lasting or persistent fragrance to an environment. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method for providing a long-lasting fragrance to an environment or to a surface such as a hard surface, fabric, skin or hair. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of the compound in perfumery, and to a perfumed composition or perfumed article comprising the compound of the present invention.

[0002] Conventional technology Consumers often associate the effectiveness of a perfumed product with the longevity or persistence of the fragrance's perception. Perfumes are composed of many different volatile compounds, which are applied to a surface and evaporate therefrom, releasing their odor. Perfumes are applied to the environment or to surfaces such as hard surfaces, fabrics, skin, or hair via perfume compositions or perfumed consumer products, such as fine fragrances or shower gels. Due to the high volatility of the fragrances that make up a perfume, the scent emanating from the perfumed surface can only be perceived for a limited period of time. In particular, the so-called top notes of a perfume evaporate very quickly. These are the most volatile compounds in the composition and represent the freshness of the perfume. Top notes typically include citrus, floral, green, and fruity notes, among others, with floral and fruity notes being particularly highly valued by consumers. Several types of floral and fruity notes are used in perfumery. Typical examples of fruity notes are those reminiscent of peach, apricot and exotic fruits.

[0003] Consumers are looking for long-lasting or persistent fragrances that are stable for the intended use, yet can be smelled for hours or days after application. Long-lasting fruity and floral notes are particularly desirable.

[0004] It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a system capable of imparting a long-lasting or persistent fragrance, in particular a fruity and / or floral fragrance, to an environment. Yet another object of the present invention is to find a method for imparting the long-lasting fragrance of cyclopentanone-derived perfume ingredients known for their fruity and / or floral sensory properties to surfaces such as hard surfaces, fabrics, skin or hair through the application of a perfume composition or a perfumed article.

[0005] Description of the Invention It has now been found that some particular compounds, namely polycyclic compounds derived from cyclopentanone-based perfume ingredients, can be advantageously used to impart a long-lasting or persistent perfume effect, in particular fruity and / or floral notes, to an environment from a given surface, and are therefore useful as ingredients of perfumed compositions or perfumed articles.

[0006] A first subject of the invention is therefore a compound of the following formula in the form of any one of its stereoisomers or a mixture thereof: [ka] where: n is 1, 2, 3 or 4; The dotted lines represent single or double bonds; X is an oxygen atom or an NR group, where R is a hydrogen atom, a C1-C4 alkyl group, a phenyl group, or a benzyl group; R 1 is a hydrogen atom or a C1-C alkyl group which may contain 1 to 5 oxygen atoms and / or 1 sulfur atom and / or 1, 2 or 3 nitrogen atoms; 10 is a hydrocarbon group, R 2 and R 2 ' are each independently a hydrogen atom, a C1-C4 alkyl group, or a CHR 1 XH group or R 2 and R 2', when taken together form a carbonyl group, R 3 is a hydrogen atom, a C1-C4 alkyl group, a phenyl group, or a benzyl group, R 4 is a hydrogen atom, a COOR' group, or a C optionally substituted with a COOR' group; 1~3 alkyl group, where R' is C 1~3 is an alkyl group, R 5 are, independently of one another, a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, or R and R 1 When they come together, C 4~6 forming an azocycloalkyl group, or R 1 and R 2 When they come together, C 5~6 forming a cycloalkyl group, or R 2 and R 3 When taken together they form a group of the formula: [ka] (In the formula, the bold line is R 2 The hatched lines are connected to the carbon atoms of R 3 )

[0007] For clarity, expressions such as "any one of its stereoisomers or a mixture thereof" have the usual meaning understood by those skilled in the art, i.e., that the compound of formula (I) may be a pure enantiomer (if optically active) or a diastereoisomer. In other words, the compound of formula (I) may have several stereocenters, each of which may have two different stereochemistries (e.g., R or S). The compound of formula (I) may also be in the form of a pure enantiomer or in the form of a mixture of enantiomers or diastereoisomers. The compound of formula (I) may be in racemic or scalemic form. Thus, the compound of formula (I) may be a single stereoisomer or may be in the form of a composition of matter comprising or consisting of various stereoisomers.

[0008] For clarity, phrases such as "a dotted line represents a single or double bond" mean the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art, i.e., that the entire bond (solid and dotted) between the carbon atoms connected by the dotted line is a carbon-carbon single or double bond.

[0009] By "...hydrocarbon group..." it is understood that the group consists of hydrogen and carbon atoms and may be in the form of an aliphatic hydrocarbon, i.e., a linear or branched saturated hydrocarbon (e.g., an alkyl group), a linear or branched unsaturated hydrocarbon (e.g., an alkenyl or alkynyl group), a saturated cyclic hydrocarbon (e.g., a cycloalkyl) or an unsaturated cyclic hydrocarbon (e.g., a cycloalkenyl or cycloalkynyl), or an aromatic hydrocarbon, i.e., an aryl group, or also in the form of a mixture of said types of groups, e.g., a particular group may contain linear alkyl, branched alkenyl (e.g., having one or more carbon-carbon double bonds), (poly)cycloalkyl and aryl moieties, unless a specific restriction to only one type is mentioned. Similarly, in all embodiments of the present invention, when a group is referred to as being in the form of more than one type of topology (e.g., linear, cyclic, or branched) and / or saturated or unsaturated (e.g., alkyl, aromatic, or alkenyl), this also means that the group may have any one of the topologies or may contain moieties that are saturated or unsaturated, as explained above. Similarly, in all embodiments of the present invention, when a group is referred to as being in one type of saturated or unsaturated form (e.g., alkyl), this means that the group may be in any type of topology (e.g., linear, cyclic, or branched) or have some moieties with different topologies.

[0010] The terms "hydrocarbon group optionally comprising" and "hydrocarbon group optionally substituted with" mean that the hydrocarbon group optionally contains an alcohol, ketone, aldehyde, ether, thioether, ester, carboxylic acid, amine, amide, carbamate, nitrile, or thiol group. These groups may be laterally attached to the hydrocarbon group by substituting a hydrogen atom, or (if chemically possible) inserted into the hydrocarbon chain by substituting a carbon atom of the hydrocarbon group. For example, the -CH2-CH2-CHOH-CH2- group represents a C4 hydrocarbon group containing an alcohol group (substitution of a hydrogen atom); the -CH2-CH2-COO-CH2-CH2-OCO-CH2-CH2- group represents a C6 hydrocarbon group containing two ester groups (substitution of a carbon atom / insertion into the hydrocarbon chain); and similarly, the -CH2-CH2-O-CH2-CH2-O-CH2-CH2- group represents a C6 hydrocarbon group containing two ether groups.

[0011] The term "alkyl" is understood to include branched and linear alkyl groups. The term "cycloalkyl" is understood to include monocyclic or polycyclic alkyl groups, i.e., the compounds of formula (I) include fused bicyclic groups. The term "azocycloalkyl" is understood to include a ring made up of carbon atoms and one nitrogen atom.

[0012] For clarity, in the formula, the bold line represents R 2 The hatched lines are connected to the carbon atoms of R 3 " is connected to a nitrogen atom of" and the like have the ordinary meaning understood by a person skilled in the art, i.e., the compound of formula (I) is a compound of the formula below in the form of any one of its stereoisomers or as a mixture thereof.

In particular, the compound of formula (I) can be 2-(5-hexenyl)tetrahydrospiro[cyclopentane-1,3'-pyrrolo[1,2-c]imidazol]-1'(2'H)-one.

[0029] The compound according to formula (I) can slowly produce the cyclopentanone derivative of formula (VI) in any one of its stereoisomers or as a mixture thereof over time. [ka] (wherein dotted line, n, R 4 and R 5 have the same meaning as defined above.)

[0030] The compounds of formula (I) are nonvolatile and essentially odorless. At the same time, they are relatively stable in perfume compositions or perfumed articles. When exposed to a surface under environmental conditions, compound (VI) is believed to be formed by reaction with ambient moisture. The formation of these compounds can be further induced by the presence of oxygen in the air, by changes in pH, by exposure to light, especially UV-A light, by the presence of enzymes, by elevated temperature, or by other types of mechanisms, or by a combination of several mechanisms.

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

[0032] Although it is not possible to provide an exhaustive list of compounds of formula (VI) produced from compounds of formula (I) of the present invention, preferred, non-limiting examples include 2-(5-hexen-1-yl)cyclopentanone, 2-hexyl-1-cyclopentanone, 2-heptyl-1-cyclopentanone, 2-pentyl-1-cyclopentanone, 2,2,5-trimethyl-5-pentyl-1-cyclopentanone, methyl 2-[3-oxo-2-pentylcyclopentyl]acetate, 3-methyl-2-pentylcyclopentan-1-one, methyl 3-oxo-2-pentylcyclopentane-1-carboxylate, or 2-(3-buten-1-yl)-2,5,5-trimethylcyclopentanone. In particular, the compound of formula (VI) may be 2-(5-hexen-1-yl)cyclopentanone.

[0033] As mentioned above, the present invention relates to the use of compounds of formula (I) as perfuming ingredients to provide an environment with a long-lasting scent, in particular a scent imparted by a perfume ingredient derived from cyclopentanone. In other words, the present invention relates to a method for imparting, enhancing, improving or modifying the scent of a perfume composition or a perfumed article, in particular a scent imparted by a perfume ingredient derived from cyclopentanone (i.e., a fruity and / or floral scent), comprising adding to said composition or article an effective amount of at least one compound of formula (I). Here, "use of a compound of formula (I)" should also be understood as the use of any composition containing a compound of formula (I) and which can be advantageously used in the perfume industry.

[0034] By "perfuming ingredient" is meant herein a compound used in a perfuming preparation or composition to impart a hedonic effect. In other words, such perfuming ingredients to be considered perfuming ingredients would be recognized by those skilled in the art not simply as having an odor, but as being able to impart or modify the odor of a composition in an advantageous or pleasant way.

[0035] The expressions "fruity and / or floral scents" or "fruity and / or floral notes" are to be understood as scents that evoke a floral, e.g. rose, and fruity olfactory impression, in particular fruity floral notes, e.g. apricot, peach notes, or exotic fruit notes.

[0036] For clarity, long-lasting effect is typically achieved when a certain compound releases more odor into the environment after a certain period of time, for example, after several hours or days, than a reference compound that provides the same type of odor.Therefore, when referring to the compound of formula (I) of the present invention, the expression "long-lasting odor" should be understood as an increase in the duration of odor perception (the release of a compound into the atmosphere that provides a fruity and / or floral olfactory impression) when compared with that of the molecule alone that has such an impression, and when measured under the same conditions, for example, after several hours (6 or 8 hours) or several days (1 day, 3 days or 7 days).

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

[0038] Therefore, another aspect of the present invention is i) at least one compound of formula (I) according to the invention as defined above as perfuming ingredient, ii) at least one ingredient selected from the group consisting of a perfume carrier and a perfume base; iii) optionally at least one flavoring adjuvant; A fragrance composition comprising:

[0039] By "perfume carrier" is meant herein a material that is substantially neutral from the perfume point of view, i.e. that does not significantly alter the organoleptic properties of the perfuming ingredients. The carrier may be liquid or solid.

[0040] Non-limiting examples of liquid carriers include emulsifying systems, i.e., solvents and surfactant systems, or solvents commonly used in perfumery.The detailed description of the nature and type of solvents commonly used in perfumery is not exhaustive.However, non-limiting examples include the most commonly used solvents such as butylene glycol 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-ethanoate, triethyl citrate or their mixtures. Also, for compositions containing both a fragrance carrier and a fragrance base, suitable fragrance carriers other than those specified above may be ethanol, water / ethanol mixtures, limonene or other terpenes, isoparaffins such as those known under the trademark Isopar® (manufactured by Exxon Chemical), or glycol ethers and glycol ether esters such as those known under the trademark Dowanol® (manufactured by Dow Chemical Company), or hydrogenated castor oil such as those known under the trademark Cremophor® RH40 (manufactured by BASF).

[0041] Solid carrier means a material that can be chemically or physically bound to the perfume composition or some components of the perfume composition.Generally, such solid carriers are used to stabilize the composition or to control the evaporation rate of the composition or some components.The use of solid carriers is currently practiced in the art, and those skilled in the art know how to achieve the desired effect.However, non-limiting examples of solid carriers include absorbent gums or polymers or inorganic materials, such as porous polymers, cyclodextrins, wood-based materials, organic or inorganic gels, clays, gypsum talc, or zeolites.

[0042] Other non-limiting examples of solid carriers include encapsulating materials.Examples of such materials can include wall-forming and plasticizing materials such as monosaccharides, disaccharides or trisaccharides, natural starch or modified starch, hydrocolloids, cellulose derivatives, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl alcohol, protein or pectin; or the materials cited in references such as H. Scherz, Hydrokolloides: Stabilisatoren, Dickungs-und Geliermittel in Lebensmitteln, Band 2 der Schriftenreihe Lebensmittelchemie, Lebensmittelqualitaet, Behr's Verlag GmbH & Co., Hamburg, 1996.Encapsulation is a method well known to those skilled in the art, and can be carried out by using techniques such as spray drying, coagulation or extrusion, or can be comprised of coating encapsulation, including coacervation and complex coacervation techniques.

[0043] Non-limiting examples of solid carriers include core-shell capsules with aminoplast, polyamide, polyester, polyurea or polyurethane type resins or mixtures thereof (all of which are well known to those skilled in the art) using techniques such as phase separation processes induced by polymerization, interfacial polymerization, coacervation or all of these (all of which techniques are described in the prior art), optionally in the presence of polymeric stabilizers or cationic copolymers.

[0044] The resins can be produced by polycondensation of aldehydes (e.g., formaldehyde, 2,2-dimethoxyethanal, glyoxal, glyoxylic acid, or glycolaldehyde, and mixtures thereof) with amines such as urea, benzoguanamine, glycoluril, melamine, methylolmelamine, methylated methylolmelamine, guanazole, and mixtures thereof. Alternatively, preformed resin alkylolated polyamines, such as those commercially available under the trademarks Urac® (manufactured by Cytec Technology Corp.), Cymel® (manufactured by Cytec Technology Corp.), Urecoll®, or Luracoll® (manufactured by BASF), can be used.

[0045] Other resins are produced by polycondensation of polyols such as glycerol with polyisocyanates such as the trimer of hexamethylene diisocyanate, the trimer of isophorone diisocyanate or xylylene diisocyanate, or the biuret of hexamethylene diisocyanate, or the trimer of xylylene diisocyanate and trimethylolpropane (known under the trade name Takenate®, manufactured by Mitsui Chemicals), especially the trimer of xylylene diisocyanate and trimethylolpropane and the biuret of hexamethylene diisocyanate.

[0046] Some of the important literature related to the encapsulation of perfumes by polycondensation of amino resins, i.e., melamine-based resins, with aldehydes, is found in K. Dietrich et al., Acta Polymerica, 1989, vol. 40, pages 243, 325, and 683, and 1990, vol. 41, page 91. Such articles already describe the various parameters affecting the preparation of such core-shell microcapsules according to prior art methods, which are also further detailed and exemplified in the patent literature. U.S. Patent No. 4,396,670 to Wiggins Teape Group Limited is a relevant early example of the latter. Since then, many other authors have enriched the literature in this field, so it would be impossible to encompass all published developments here, but a general knowledge of encapsulation technology is of great importance. Relevant more recent publications disclosing suitable uses of such microcapsules are shown, for example, in the article by K. Bruyninckx and M. Dusselier, ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering, 2019, vol. 7, pages 8041-8054.

[0047] Here, "perfume base" means a composition comprising at least one perfuming co-ingredient.

[0050] The perfume base according to the invention may not be limited to the perfuming co-ingredients mentioned above, many others of which are listed in any case in the book "Perfume and Flavor Chemicals" by S. Arctander, 1969, Montclair, New Jersey, USA, or its more recent editions, or other works of a similar nature, as well as in the abundant patent literature in the field of perfumery. It is also understood that the co-ingredients may be compounds known to release in a controlled manner various types of perfuming compounds, also known as perfume precursors or profragrances.Non-limiting examples of suitable perfume precursors or pro-fragrances 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-phenyl- ethyl oxo(phenyl)acetate, 3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dien-1-yloxo(phenyl)acetate, (Z)-hex-3-en-1-yloxo(phenyl)acetate, 3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadien-1-yl hexadecanoate, bis(3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dien-1-yl)succinate, (2-((2-methylundec-1-en-1-yl)oxy)ethyl)benzene, 1-methoxy- 4-(3-methyl-4-phenethoxybut-3-en-1-yl)benzene, (3-methyl-4-phenethoxybut-3-en-1-yl)benzene, 1-(((Z)-hex-3-en-1-yl)oxy)-2-methylundec-1-ene, (2-((2-methylundec-1-en-1-yl)oxy)ethoxy)benzene, 2-methyl-1-(octan-3-yloxy)undec-1-ene, 1-methoxy-4-(1-phenethoxyprop-1 1-methyl-4-(1-phenethoxyprop-1-en-2-yl)benzene, 2-(1-phenethoxyprop-1-en-2-yl)naphthalene, (2-phenethoxyvinyl)benzene, 2-(1-((3,7-dimethyloct-6-en-1-yl)oxy)prop-1-en-2-yl)naphthalene, (2-((2-pentylcyclopentylidene)methoxy)ethyl)benzene or a mixture thereof.

[0051] The term "perfuming adjuvant" is understood to mean an ingredient capable of imparting further additional benefits such as color, specific light resistance, chemical stability, etc. A detailed description of the nature and type of adjuvants commonly used in perfume bases is not exhaustive, and it should be mentioned that these ingredients are well known to those skilled in the art. However, specific, non-limiting examples include viscosity agents (e.g., surfactants, thickeners, gelling and / or rheology modifiers), stabilizers (e.g., preservatives, antioxidants, heat / light and / or buffering agents or chelating agents, e.g., BHT), colorants (e.g., dyes and / or pigments), preservatives (e.g., antibacterial, antimicrobial, antifungal, or anti-irritant agents), abrasives, skin cooling agents, fixatives, insect repellents, ointments, vitamins, and mixtures thereof.

[0052] It will be understood that a person skilled in the art is perfectly capable of designing the optimum formulation for the desired effect by combining the above ingredients of the perfume composition, simply by applying standard knowledge in the art, and by trial and error methodology.

[0053] The compositions of the present invention, consisting of at least one compound of formula (I) and at least one perfume carrier, represent a particular embodiment of the present invention, as well as perfume compositions comprising at least one compound of formula (I), at least one perfume carrier, at least one perfume base, and optionally at least one perfume adjuvant.

[0054] It is useful to mention here that it is important to note that in the compositions described above, in addition to the compounds of formula (I), there is the possibility of using other compounds of similar or different nature that are capable of generating other fragrances, since this allows the perfumer to prepare accords, perfumes, that have the olfactory tonality of the various compounds of the invention, thus creating new building blocks for creative purposes.

[0055] For the sake of clarity, it is also understood that any mixture obtained without substantial purification by chemical synthesis, e.g., directly from the reaction medium, in which the compound of the invention is involved as a starting intermediate, or in which the final product cannot be considered a perfuming composition according to the invention, unless the mixture provides the compound of the invention in a form suitable for perfumery. Thus, unless otherwise specified, unpurified reaction mixtures are generally excluded from the present invention.

[0056] Furthermore, the compounds of formula (I) of the present invention can also be advantageously used in all fields of modern perfumery, i.e. fine perfumery or functional fragrances, to advantageously impart a long-lasting or persistent fruity and / or floral scent to consumer products to which said compounds (I) are added.

[0057] Consequently, another aspect of the present invention relates to perfumed consumer products comprising as perfuming ingredient at least one compound of formula (I) or a perfuming composition as defined above.

[0058] The compounds of the present invention can be added as such or as part of the perfuming composition of the present invention.

[0059] For clarity, it should be mentioned that "perfumed consumer product" means a consumer product that is expected to impart at least one pleasant fragrance effect to the surface to which it is applied (for example, skin, hair, fabric or hard surface).In other words, the perfumed consumer product according to the present invention is a perfumed consumer product that comprises a functional formulation, and optionally a further beneficial agent corresponding to a desired consumer product, for example, a conditioner, a detergent or an air freshener, and an olfactory-effective amount of at least one compound of the present invention.For clarity, the perfumed consumer product is a non-edible product.

[0060] The nature and type of constituents of perfumed consumer products do not warrant a more detailed description and in any case cannot be exhaustive, so that a person skilled in the art can select them based on his general knowledge and depending on the nature of the product and the desired effect.

[0061] As used herein, "consumer products" means baby care, personal care, fabric & home care, family care, feminine care, health care, beauty care and similar products generally intended for use or consumption in the form in which they are sold.

[0062] Non-limiting examples of suitable perfumed consumer products include perfumes, such as fine perfumes, colognes or aftershave lotions; fabric care products, such as liquid or solid detergents or uni-dose detergents (such as powder tablets, liquid uni-dose or multi-chamber uni-dose detergents), fabric softeners, fabric refreshers, ironing water, paper, bleach, carpet cleaners or curtain care products; body care products, such as hair care products (e.g. shampoos, colouring preparations or hairsprays, colour care products or hair styling products), dental care products, disinfectants, intimate care products), cosmetics (e.g. spa products, face washes ... skin cream or lotion, vanishing cream, or deodorant or antiperspirant (e.g., spray or roll-on), hair remover, tanning, tanning or after-sun product, nail product, skin cleansing product or make-up), skin care product (e.g., perfumed soap, shower or bath mousse, oil or gel, hygiene product, or foot / hand care product); air care product, such as an air freshener or a "ready to use" powder air freshener that can be used in domestic spaces (room, refrigerator, cupboard, shoes or car) and / or in public spaces (hall, hotel, mall, etc.); or home care product, such as a mould remover, furniture care product, wipe, dish detergent or hard surface (e.g., floor, bathroom, hygiene or window) cleaner, leather care product; car care product, such as polish, wax or plastic cleaner.

[0063] Preferred perfumed compositions or perfumed articles are perfumes, fabric or hard surface cleaners, skin or hair care products, and fabric softeners or refreshers.

[0064] Typical examples of fabric detergent or fabric softener compositions that can incorporate the compounds of the present invention are described in WO 97 / 34986, or U.S. Patent Nos. 4,137,180 and 5,236,615, or EP 799885. Other typical detergent and fabric softener compositions that can be used are described in works such as Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, vol.20, Wiley-VCH, Weinheim, pp.355-540 (2012); Flick, Advanced Cleaning Product Formulations, Noye Publication, Park Ridge, New Jersey (1989); Showell, in Surfactant Science Series, vol.71: Powdered Detergents, Marcel Dekker, New York (1988); Proceedings of the World Conference on Detergents (4th, 1998, Montreux, Switzerland), AOCS print.

[0065] Some of the consumer product bases mentioned above may represent an aggressive medium for the compounds of the invention, and it may be necessary to protect the latter from premature degradation, such as by encapsulation.

[0066] The proportions in which the compounds according to the invention can be incorporated into the various articles or compositions mentioned above vary within wide ranges, depending on the nature of the article to be perfumed and the desired sensory effect, and, if the compounds according to the invention are mixed with perfuming co-ingredients, solvents or additives commonly used in the art, on the nature of the co-ingredients in a given base.

[0067] For example, in perfume compositions, typical concentrations are on the order of 0.001% to 10% or more by weight of the compounds of the invention, based on the weight of the composition in which they are incorporated, and in perfumed consumer products, typical concentrations are on the order of 0.0001% to 5% or more by weight of the compounds of the invention, based on the weight of the consumer product in which they are incorporated.

[0068] As described above, the present invention relates to a method for imparting a long-lasting or persistent scent, such as a fruity and / or floral scent, imparted by a cyclopentanone-derived perfume ingredient to a surface, such as a hard surface, fabric, skin, or hair. Perfume ingredients that provide a fruity and / or floral scent to an environment by evaporation from a surface typically do not last very long or are not persistent. As outlined above, one reason for this is their relatively high volatility, which ensures efficient evaporation after surface application. Another reason for this is that, very often, only small amounts of these compounds are efficiently applied to the surface. This is particularly true when they are applied to a surface via a perfume composition or perfumed article that is rinsed after application. This rinsing step also carries away a large amount of the perfume that would otherwise remain on the target surface. Examples of this case are cleaning and cleaning agents, such as hard surface cleaners, detergents, shower gels, and shampoos, which are rinsed off after application. Furthermore, perfume application by contacting a surface with a perfume composition or a perfumed article (from which the perfume is deposited on the surface by partition equilibrium between the perfume composition or perfumed article and the corresponding surface) can be inefficient in perfume deposition. An example of this case is a conditioner or surface refresher, such as a fragrance softener, which is contacted with the target and then removed or dried. The compounds of formula (I) according to the present invention enhance perfume deposition and are therefore suitable for imparting long-lasting fragrances by applying perfume ingredients derived from cyclopentanone to surfaces such as hard surfaces, fabrics, skin or hair.

[0069] Therefore, another aspect of the present invention relates to a method for imparting a long-lasting or persistent scent imparted by a cyclopentanone-derived perfume ingredient to an environment or to a surface such as a hard surface, fabric, skin or hair, by adding at least one compound of formula (I) to a perfume composition or perfumed article and applying the same to the corresponding target environment or surface.

[0070] The present invention also relates to microcapsules comprising at least one compound of formula (I). In one embodiment, 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 in a core surrounded by a shell.

[0130] [ka]

[0131] [Example 2] (Performance of fabric softener base containing the compound of formula (I) of the present invention) The performance of the compounds of formula (I) of the present invention was tested in a fabric softening surfactant emulsion having the following final composition: Stepantex (registered trademark) VL90A (manufacturer: Stepan) 12.21% by mass Calcium chloride (10% aqueous solution) 0.40% by mass Proxel (registered trademark) GXL (manufacturer: Avecia) 0.04% by mass Water 87.35% by mass (a) Dynamic headspace measurement The compound of formula (I) of the present invention (0.1 mmol) was dissolved in ethanol (0.2 mL) and added to 7.0 g of the above fabric softener formulation. After homogenization, an aliquot of the sample (0.07 g) was diluted with cold demineralized tap water (23.0 g). A cotton sheet (EMPA cotton test cloth No. 221, manufacturer: Eidgenoessische Materialpruefanstalt) pre-washed with unperfumed detergent powder and cut into a sheet of approximately 5.2 g and approximately 15 x 15 cm was then added, manually stirred for 3 minutes, allowed to stand for 2 minutes, then squeezed by hand and weighed (approximately 10.0 g) to obtain a constant amount of residual water. A reference sample consisting of the corresponding equimolar amount of unmodified compound of formula (VI) instead of the compound of formula (I) was prepared and analyzed in the same manner. The cotton sheet was hang-dried for 1 or 3 days before analysis. For the measurements, the sheet was placed in a headspace sampling cell (approximately 160 mL internal volume), which was thermostated at 25°C and exposed to a constant air flow of approximately 200 mL / min. The air was filtered through activated carbon and drawn through a saturated solution of NaCl (ensuring a constant air humidity of approximately 75%). The system was equilibrated for 15 minutes while volatiles were adsorbed onto a waste Tenax® cartridge. Then, seven consecutive times, volatiles were adsorbed onto a clean Tenax® cartridge for 15 minutes and onto a waste Tenax® cartridge for 45 minutes. The waste cartridge was discarded. The other cartridges were desorbed on a Perkin Elmer TurboMatrix ATD desorber connected to an Agilent Technologies 7890A gas chromatograph equipped with an HP-1 capillary column (30 m, 0.32 μm internal diameter, 0.25 μm membrane) and an FID detector. Volatiles were analyzed using a temperature gradient varying from 80 to 260 °C at 15 °C / min. Headspace concentrations (ng / L air) were obtained by external standard calibration using different concentrations of fragrance released in ethanol. Calibration solutions (0.2 μL) were each injected into clean Tenax® cartridges, which were desorbed and analyzed under the same conditions.The results obtained for the release of each compound of formula (VI) compared to the corresponding equimolar amount of unmodified compound of formula (VI) after a total sampling time of 270 minutes over dry cotton after 1 and 3 days of line drying are summarized in Table 1. All data are the average of at least two measurements.

[0132] [Table 1-1] [Table 1-2]

[0133] The compound according to formula (I) released a larger amount of the compound of formula (VI) into the headspace above the dry cotton than a reference sample consisting of a corresponding equimolar amount of the unmodified compound of formula (VI). Thus, the compound of formula (I) according to the invention can increase the perceived longevity of perfume ingredients derived from cyclopentanone.

[0134] (b) Sensory panel evaluation The performance of the compounds of formula (I) of the present invention was tested in a fabric softening surfactant emulsion having the following composition: [Table 2]

[0135] The softeners were prepared by weighing out methyl bis[ethyl(tallow fatty acid)]-2-hydroxyethyl ammonium methyl sulfate, which had been heated to 65°C. Water and 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one were then placed in a reactor and heated to 65°C with stirring. To the previous mixture, methyl bis[ethyl(tallow fatty acid)]-2-hydroxyethyl ammonium methyl sulfate was added. The mixture was stirred for 15 minutes, and CaCl2 was added. Then, 0.1 g of Compound 7 or 0.0616 g of 2-pentylcyclopentanone was added. The mixture was stirred for 15 minutes and cooled to room temperature with stirring (viscosity measurement: result 35 + / - 5 mPas. (shear rate 106 sec)-1 )).

[0136] Cotton terry towels (36 pieces, 18 cm x 18 cm, approximately 30 g each) were washed with 55 g of unscented detergent in a European washing machine (Miele Novotronic W300-33CH) using the short cycle program at 40°C. Following washing, they were rinsed at 900 rpm with 23 g of the concentrated fabric softener. The terry towels were then line-dried for 24 hours and then evaluated by a panel of 20 trained panelists. The panelists were instructed to rate the intensity of the towels' scent on a scale of 1 to 7 after gently rubbing the fabric with their hands, with 1 corresponding to no scent and 7 corresponding to a very strong scent. The results are summarized in Table 2.

[0137] [Table 3]

[0138] Olfactory performance on dry fabrics based on the presence of perfume precursor Compound 7 was relatively close to the 2-pentylcyclopentanone control on Day 1, and was perceived as significantly stronger than the 2-pentylcyclopentanone control on Days 3 and 7. Based on these results, 0.1% perfume precursor Compound 7 performed significantly better than the 0.0616% 2-pentylcyclopentanone control, at least from Day 3 to Day 7 of drying.

[0139] [Example 3] Performance of Multi-Purpose Hard Surface Cleaner Formulations Containing Compounds of Formula (I) of the Present Invention The release of the compound of formula (VI) from the compound of formula (I) of the present invention was tested in an all-purpose surface cleaner (APC). An APC formulation was prepared having the following final composition: Neodol (registered trademark) 91-8 (manufacturer: Shell Chemicals) 5.0% by mass Marlon (registered trademark) A375 (manufacturer: Huels AG) 4.0% by mass Sodium cumene sulfonate (Sodium cumolsulphonate) 2.0% by mass Kathon (registered trademark) CG (manufacturer: Rohm and Haas) 0.2% by mass Deionized water 88.8% by mass In a flask, one of the compounds of formula (I) of the present invention (0.0369 mmol) was dissolved in ethanol (100 μL). Then, APC formulation (3.0 mL) was added, and the sample was gently shaken. Aliquots (1 mL) of these samples were pipetted and diluted with demineralized tap water (9 mL). A film (0.75 mL) of this solution was pipetted onto a porous ceramic plate (approximately 5 × 10 cm) and allowed to stand at room temperature. Similarly, a reference sample was prepared consisting of the corresponding equimolar amount of unmodified compound of formula (VI) (0.0369 mmol) instead of one of the compounds of formula (I) of the present invention in ethanol (100 μL) and treated in the same manner.

[0140] After one day, each ceramic plate was placed in a headspace sampling cell (approximately 625 mL) and exposed to a constant air flow of approximately 200 mL / min. The air was filtered through activated carbon and drawn through a saturated aqueous solution of NaCl (ensuring a constant air humidity of approximately 75%). The headspace system was equilibrated for 15 minutes by adsorbing volatiles onto a waste Tenax® cartridge. The volatiles were then alternately adsorbed onto a clean Tenax® cartridge for 10 minutes and onto a waste Tenax® cartridge for 20 minutes (six times). The waste cartridge was discarded. The clean cartridge was desorbed and analyzed as described in Example 2. All measurements were performed at least twice. Table 3 lists the average headspace concentrations of the compound of formula (VI) released from the compound of formula (I) prepared in Example 1 or from the reference sample after 55 minutes of sampling above the porous ceramic plate. Table 3 also shows the fold increase in the compound of formula (VI) released from the compound of formula (I) of the present invention with respect to the reference sample.

[0141] [Table 4]

[0142] After one day, the compound of formula (I) of the present invention as prepared in Example 1 releases more compound of formula (VI) into the headspace than the reference sample. Thus, the compound of formula (I) of the present invention can provide a long-lasting and sustained release of compound of formula (VI) onto hard surfaces from APC applications.

[0143] [Example 4] (Performance of hair conditioning formulations containing compounds of formula (I) of the present invention) The production of compounds of formula (VI) from compounds of formula (I) of the present invention was tested in hair conditioning applications. A hair conditioning formulation was prepared having the following final composition: Dehyquart (registered trademark) C4046 (manufacturer: BASF) 5.00% by mass Glycerin (85%) (manufacturer: Brenntag) 2.00% by mass Liquid paraffin (Paraffinum Perliquidum) (manufacturer: Acros) 2.00% by mass Genamin (registered trademark) CTAC (manufacturer: Clariant) 1.00% by mass Xiameter MEM-949 Cationic Emulsion (Manufacturer: Xiameter) 1.00% by mass Jaguar (registered trademark) C14S (manufacturer: Lubrizol) 0.30% by mass Kathon (registered trademark) CG (manufacturer: Rohm and Haas) 0.08% by mass EDTA B powder (manufacturer: BASF) 0.05% by mass Deionized water 88.57% by mass A solution of one of the compounds of formula (I) of the present invention in ethanol was prepared by accurately weighing 0.3 mmol of the compound into a volumetric flask (5 mL) and filling it with ethanol. Similarly, a reference solution containing an equimolar amount of the compound of formula (VI) to be released was prepared.

[0144] The above hair conditioner formulation (920 mg) was weighed into a sample tube (3 mL), and then an ethanol solution (100 μL) containing one of the compounds of the present invention of formula (I) or (VI, ref.) was added. The tube was closed, shaken (50 times), and centrifuged for 30 seconds using a manual centrifuge (at about 3500 rpm).

[0145] A Caucasian hair swatch (manufacturer: Kerling International Haarfabrik GmbH, length approximately 10 cm, approximately 0.5 g) was rinsed and rubbed with 37°C tap water at a flow rate of approximately 2 L / min for 30 seconds, and excess water was squeezed out with fingertips. An unscented shampoo formulation (0.1 g) was spread on the hair swatch, which was then washed for 30 seconds. The shampoo was then rinsed off with 37°C tap water for 30 seconds, and excess water was squeezed out with fingertips. A hair conditioning formulation (0.1 g) containing one of the compounds of the present invention according to formula (I) or a reference compound of formula (VI) was then spread on the hair swatch. The hair swatch was gently rubbed between fingertips for 1 minute, combed once, and hung to dry.

[0146] After 6 hours, the hair swatch was combed (10 times) and secured with adhesive tape in a temperature-controlled (25°C) headspace sampling cell with an internal volume of approximately 165 mL. A constant flow of air (200 mL / min) was pumped across the sample. The incoming air was filtered through activated carbon and through a saturated aqueous solution of NaCl. The system was equilibrated for 10 minutes by absorbing the volatiles into a waste Tenax® cartridge. The volatiles were then adsorbed onto the first clean Tenax® cartridge for 10 minutes and onto the second clean Tenax® cartridge for another 10 minutes. The pump was then stopped. The hair swatch remained in the headspace sampling cell without the cartridges connected. After 24 hours, the waste Tenax® cartridge was connected, the pump was turned on, and the system was equilibrated for 10 minutes. The volatiles were then adsorbed onto the two clean Tenax® cartridges sequentially for 10 minutes. The waste cartridge was discarded. The cleaned cartridges were desorbed and analyzed as described in Example 2. All measurements were performed at least in duplicate.

[0147] The average headspace concentrations of 2-pentyl-1-cyclopentanone (compound of formula (VI)) released from compound 9 (compound of formula (I) as prepared in Example 1) or the reference sample (desorbed from the first cartridge) after 6 hours and 24 hours are listed in Table 4. Table 4 also shows the fold increase in fragrance released from the compound of formula (I) of the present invention relative to the reference sample.

[0148] [Table 5]

[0149] The compound of formula (I) of the present invention as prepared in Example 1 releases a greater amount of fragrance into the headspace than the reference sample, especially after an extended period of time (24 hours). Thus, the compound of formula (I) of the present invention can provide a long-lasting and persistent perfume scent to hair from hair conditioning applications.
