[0002] Thioether-based fragrance precursor compound V

[0003] The present invention relates to specific thioether-based fragrance precursor compounds of formula (I) derived from mercaptosilanes and selected fragrances, and to a process for their preparation. The present invention further relates to washing and / or cleaning agents, cosmetic compositions, and perfume compositions containing such fragrance precursor compounds. The present invention also relates to a process for the long-lasting fragrance application of surfaces using the fragrance precursor compounds and compositions according to the invention.

[0004] Washing and / or cleaning products or cosmetics usually contain fragrances that give them a pleasant scent. These fragrances can also serve to mask the odor of other ingredients, thus creating a pleasant scent impression for the consumer.

[0005] Fragrances are particularly important components in the composition of laundry and / or cleaning products, as the laundry should have a pleasant and, ideally, fresh scent both when wet and dry. The use of fragrances is inherently problematic because they are more or less volatile compounds, yet a long-lasting fragrance effect is desired. This is especially true for those fragrances that represent the fresh and light notes of perfume and are particularly volatile due to their high vapor pressure; achieving the desired longevity of the scent is therefore extremely difficult.

[0006] Delayed fragrance release can be achieved, for example, through so-called fragrance precursor compounds. These fragrance precursor compounds are based on fragrance compounds, such as fragrance aldehydes or ketones, which react with other compounds to form the aforementioned fragrance precursor compounds. These precursor compounds are then able to release the actual fragrance compound in a delayed manner (for example, through hydrolysis or photochemical processes). Of particular interest is the ability to release several different fragrances from a single fragrance precursor compound in order to maintain a harmonious fragrance impression.

[0007] Thioether-based fragrance precursor compounds are known from WO 2004 / 105713 A1.

[0008] The object of the present invention was to provide fragrance precursor compounds that can be obtained by simple synthesis and that preferably release at least two different fragrances. Furthermore, the fragrance precursor compounds should preferably be suitable for use in consumer goods, such as detergents and / or cleaning agents or cosmetics. It is also desirable that the fragrance precursor compounds exhibit better adhesion to the surface to which they are applied, preferably a textile. This object can be achieved by the specific fragrance precursor compounds of formula (I), which are derived from oligomeric mercaptosilanes and selected fragrances.

[0009] In one aspect, the invention therefore relates to a fragrance precursor compound of formula (I)

[0019] In a fifth aspect, the present invention relates to a cosmetic product containing at least one fragrance precursor compound of the present invention.

[0020] Finally, in a sixth aspect, the present invention relates to a method for the long-lasting scenting of surfaces, characterized in that a fragrance precursor compound or a perfume composition or a washing and / or cleaning agent or a cosmetic agent according to the invention is applied to the surface to be scented, wherein the scenting lasts longer than if the respective fragrance compound or an identical agent in which the fragrance precursor compound is replaced by the respective fragrance compound were used.

[0021] These and further embodiments, features, and advantages of the invention will become apparent to the person skilled in the art upon studying the following detailed description and claims. Individual described features or embodiments of the invention can be combined with other features or embodiments of the invention without having been described in combination within the scope of the invention. It is understood that the examples contained herein are intended to describe and illustrate the invention, but do not limit it, and in particular, the invention is not limited to these examples.

[0022] The various monomeric units of the oligomeric siloxanes of formula (I) can be arranged in blocks with any number of blocks and any sequence or statistical distribution. The indices used in the formulas are to be considered statistical means.

[0023] “At least one,” as used herein, refers to one or more, for example, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, or more. In the context of the fragrance precursor compounds described herein, this term refers not to the absolute quantity of molecules but to the type of compound. “At least one fragrance precursor compound” therefore means, for example, that only one type of fragrance precursor compound or several different types of fragrance precursor compounds may be present, without specifying the quantity of each individual compound. Unless otherwise stated, all quantities given in connection with the process described herein are given as wt% based on the total weight of the composition.Furthermore, such quantity specifications relating to at least one component always refer to the total quantity of that type of component contained in the composition, unless explicitly stated otherwise. This means that such quantity specifications, for example in connection with "at least one fragrance precursor compound," refer to the total quantity of fragrance precursor compounds contained in the composition, unless explicitly stated otherwise.

[0024] Numerical values ​​given herein without decimal places refer to the full value given with one decimal place. For example, "99%" means "99.0%".

[0025] Numerical ranges specified in the format "in / from x to y" include the values ​​mentioned. If multiple preferred numerical ranges are specified in this format, it is understood that all ranges resulting from the combination of the different endpoints are also included.

[0026] “Substituted,” as used herein in connection with the definition of the fragrance precursor compounds of formula (I) and the compound of formula (II), means that a hydrogen atom is replaced by another residue. Suitable residues are Ci-C4 alkyl groups.

[0027] The terms "odorant" and "fragrance" are to be used synonymously within the scope of this invention. A fragrance is a compound that has a characteristic odor and contributes to achieving a specific fragrance profile of a perfume oil or composition. Fragrances also include compounds that modify the fragrance profile of a perfume oil or composition in such a way that the fragrance acquires a certain depth, which is commonly referred to as the complexity of a fragrance.

[0098] 29.5 g (120 mmol) of 3-mercaptopropyltriethoxysilane and 23.1 g (120 mmol) of α-damascone were placed in a flask under a nitrogen atmosphere. Subsequently, 0.19 g of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) was added with stirring. The reaction solution was stirred at room temperature for 20 hours, then added to 100 mL of 5% aqueous HCl solution and stirred vigorously. The solution was then extracted with 200 mL of diethyl ether. The ether phase was washed with 100 mL of 5% aqueous HCl solution, then thoroughly with water, and finally successively with 150 mL of saturated NaHCch solution and 150 mL of saturated NaCl solution. The ether phase was then dried over MgSC, filtered, and concentrated completely under vacuum. 45.3 g of a pale yellow, liquid product with 93% purity (NMR) was obtained.

[0099] Step 2: Reaction of the product from step 1 with 2-phenylethyl alcohol

[0100] 41.7 g (90 mmol) of the reaction product from step 1 (93% purity) were placed in a flask together with 33.3 g (270 mmol) of 2-phenylethyl alcohol and stirred. Then, 81 mg of finely ground KOH was added while stirring, and the reaction solution was heated to 110°C. After 14 h, the mixture was stirred under reduced pressure (approx. 150 mbar) for a further 6 h. It was then cooled to room temperature. 58.4 g of a yellowish, clear, slightly viscous product with a purity of 95% (GC) was obtained.
