Cl. 260-340.7 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Chemical compounds characterized by the structural formula wherein R R R R R and R are as defined above are particularly preferred due to their outstanding usefulness as aroma chemicals.
This invention relates to the art of fragrance compositions. More specifically, this invention is directed to a class of compounds that possess characteristics aromas and are useful as components in fragrance compositions and to a class of novel compounds possessing particularly outstanding characteristic aromas.
The art of Perfumery began, perhaps, in the ancient cave dwellings of prehistoric man. From its inception, and until comparatively recently, the perfumer has utilized natural perfume chemicals of animal and vegetable origin. Thus, natural perfume chemicals such as the essential oils, for example, oil of rose and oil of cloves, and animal secretions such as musk, have been manipulated by the perfumer to achieve a variety of fragrances. In more recent years, however, research perfume chemists have developed a large number of synthetic odoriferous chemicals possessing aroma characteristics particularly desired in the art. These synthetic aroma chemicals have added a new dimension to the ancient art of the perfumer, since the compounds prepared are usually of a stable chemical nature, are inexpensive as compared with the natural perfume chemicals and lend themselves more easily to manipulation than natural perfume chemicals since such natural perfume chemicals are usually a complex mixture of substances which defy chemical analysis. In contrast thereto, the synthetic aroma chemicals possess "ice a known chemical structure and may therefore be manipulated by the perfumer to suit specific needs. Accordingly, there is a great need in the art of fragrance compositions for compounds possessing characteristic aromas.
The principal object of the present invention is to provide a new class aroma chemical compounds.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a specific class of aroma chemical compounds having a characteristic aroma which is utilized in the preparation of fragrances and fragrance compositions.
These and other objects, aspects and advantages of this invention will become apparent from a consideration of the accompanying specification and claims.
In accordance with the above objects, there is provided by the present invention a class of compounds characterized by the structural formula I wherein R R R and R each represent hydrogen oi methyl, R represents hydrogen or a lower alkyl and R represents a polymethylene radical of from 2 to 4 carbon atoms which is unsubstituted or substituted with lower alkyls which, as a whole exhibits a characteristic pleasant, strong and long lasting aroma, which is highly useful in the preparation of fragrance compositions and perfumed products.
By the term lower alkyl is meant an alkyl group having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms, whether branched or straight chain, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, tert-butyl, pentyl and the like. Preferred lower alkyl groups are n-alkyl groups having 1 to 3 carbon atoms inclusive.
Preferred and novel compounds within the scope of Formula I are characterized by the structural formula a if wherein R R R R R and R have the same meaning as defined hereinbefore.
The compounds of the present invention, wherein R is hydrogen, are readily prepared as hereinafter described.
In the first step, an appropriate cyclopentadiene is reacted with an a,/3-unsaturated aldehyde of the formula R R C=CR CHO wherein R R and R are as defined hereinbefore. Illustrative aldehydes include acrolein, methacrolein, crotonaldehyde, Z-pentenal and the like.

The reaction conditions for the acetalization reaction are not narrowly critical, although elevated temperatures, for example 50 to 150 C. are ordinarily necessary to achieve an acceptable rate. It is also desirable to remove the water formed by the reaction as it is formed to drive the reaction to completion. This is easily efiected by conducting the reaction under reflux in a solvent, such as benzene or toluene, which forms a minimum boiling azeotrope with water, and separating the water from the distillate.
The carboxaldehyde and the dihydric alcohol which are reacted in accordance with this invention are preferably reacted in a mole ratio from about 1.1 to 1 to about 1 to 1.1, however the molar ratio may be from about 2:1 to about 1:2 and still be satisfactory.

Perfume compositions and the use thereof in cosmetic, detergent and bar soap formulations and the like are exemplary of the utility thereof.
The novel compounds of Formula II are particularly preferred because of the highly desirable aroma characteristics found and the more stable chemical molecule enables a wider scope of use without fear of adverse side reactions.
The compounds of this invention are used in concentrations of from trace amounts up to about 50 percent of the perfume composition into which they are incorporated. As will be expected, the concentration will vary depending on the particular fragrance composition and even within the same composition when compounded by different perfumers.
