ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE

The invention is directed to a perfumery composition consisting essentially of from about 1 to 50 percent by weight of 2-phenyl-1(2)-propen-1-yl carboxylic acid esters of the formula

Description

~lS7~36 PERFUMING COMPOSITIONS COMPRISED OF
2-PHENYI,-1(2)-PROPEN-l-YL CARBOXYLATE

This invention is directed to novel perfuming agents. More particularly, this invention is directed to the'use of 2-phenyl-1(2)-propen-1-yl carboxylic acid esters as perf~ming agents as well as perf~ming compositions containing such compounds.
..

It is an object of the invention to provide for the use'of 2-phenyl-1(2)-propen-1-yl carboxylic acid esters as perfuming agents.
It is also an object of the invention to provide perfuming compositionS based upo~ 2-phenyl-1(2)--propen-l-yl, carboxylic acid esters.
These'and other ob~ects of the'inventlon will' become'more apparent in the'discussion bel'ow~ '~

It has been found that 2-phenyl-lt2)-propen-1-yl carboxylic acid esters of the general formula O~R (I) .
.
-1- , 7~36 wherein R is an alkyl o~ from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, can advantayeously be used as perfuming agents with a vigorous, flowery scent. The 2-phenyl-1(2)-propen-l-yl carboxylic-acid esters of Formula (I) represent a mixture of the isomeric compounds of the formulas .

The 2-pheny~ 2)-propen-l-yl carboxylic . acid esters to be used as.perfuming agents according to ;~ the invention are prepared by conversion of 2-phenyl-1,-2-propane diol in the presence of an acid catalyst and -- excess car~oxylic anhydride of the formula ~RCO)20, wherein R is as defined above, with the dehydration of the tertiary hydroxyl group and simultaneous esterifi-cation of the primary hydroxyl group.

~57~36 The mixture of the three isomeric esters of Formulas II to IV, also represented ~y Formula I, can be used as a perfuming agent without further separation into indivi-dual components.
-The use of approximately 3 mols of carboxylic acid anhy-dride per moi of diol as well as the use of an elevated re-action temperature of from about 60 to 125 C are recommended for the complete conversion of 2-phenyl-1,2-propane diol , ~
into the desired esters. Suitable catalysts include acia catalysts such as, for example, sulfuric acid, p-toluene-sulfonic acid, and solid bed acid catalysts. The ratio of isomers in the mixture o 2-phenyl-1¢2)-propen-1-yl car-boxylic acid esters formed fluctuates somewhat with varia-tions in the reaction conditions, such as, for example, variation of the amount of anhydride, the reaction time, or the reaction temperature. ~owever, variations of the isomer ratio in the mixture have not been found to have a signifi-cant influence on the fragrance characteristics of the mix-ture.

The mixture 2-phenyl-1(2)-propen-1-yl acetate, which can be obtainea from 2 phenyl-1,2-propane diol, is of special significance due to its sweet, flowery scent remin-iscent of lilac, hyacinths, and ripe grain This ester mixture is particularly suitable for, for example, the for-mulation of interesting neroli and lilac compositions.

~$S7036 The product 2-phenyl-1(2)-propen-1-yl acetate is known from the literature and has been prepared by various methods without its suitability and importance as a per-fuming agent or as a component of perfuming compositions having been recogn~zea. For example, A. Wohl and E. ~
Berthold describe ~he preparation from hydratropaldehyde and acetic anhydride in the presence of hydrochloric acid in ~er~ 43:2184, 1910, and R. v~ Auwers describes the pre-paration from hydratropaldehyde and acetic anhydride in the presence of sodium acetate in Ann. 413:280, 1917.
A series of additional methods of preparation starting with ~-methylstyrene is described in more recent times, for example, by A. Kasahara, ~. Saito, and T. Izmi, Bull. chem.
~Soc. Ja~. 46:2610, 1973, and in Belgian Patent Specifica-tion No~ 630,862 of the General Electric Company.

The perfuming agents to be used according to the inven-tion are prepared by conversion of 2-phenyl~1,2-propane ; .
k' diol with acetic anhydride, propionic anhydride, butyric anhydride, o~ isovaleric anhydride in t~e presence of acid catalysts. Useful 2-phenyl-1~2)-propen-1-yl carboxylic acid esters according to the invention include 2-phenyl-1-(2)-propen-1-yl acetate, propionate, b~tyrate r and 3-~`~ methylbutyrate. ~ -, . r~
The 2-phenyl-1~2)-propen-1-yl carboxylic acid esters ~` of Formula I are valuable perfuming agents with vigorous, flowery perfume notes. A special advantage is that they combine readily into interesting fragrance nuances.

~57C~36 The 2-phenyl-1~2)-propen-1-yl carboxylic acid esters of Formula I can be ~ixed with other perfumes in various quantity ratios to provide new perfume com-positions. Generally, the content of the 2-phenyl-1~2)-propen-l-yl carboxylic acid esters in the perfume compo-sitions will range from about 1 to 50 percent by weight, based on the weight of the total composition. Such compo-sitions can sèrve directly as perfume or also as per~
fuming agents in cosmetics, such as creams, lotions, toilet waters, aerosols, mouth-care products, toilet soaps, and the like, Also, they may be used to improve the odor of industrial and commercial products such as detergents and cleansing agents, disinfectants, softeners, textile treatment agents, and the like. To perfume the various ~roducts, the perfume compositions containing the 2-phenyl-1(2)-propen-1-yl carboxylic acid esters to be used according to the invention are added to the products generally in concentrations of from about 0.05 to 2 per-cent by weight, based on the total weight of the products.
The following examples are intended to illustrate the invention in greater detail and are not to be c~nQtrued as limiting the inventio~ thereto.
