Definitions

• This invention relates to perfume ingredients and perfume preparations containing same. I n particular, the invention relates to said perfume ingredients or perfume preparations that exhibit muguet (lily of the valley) odour characteristics. Still more particularly, the invention relates to said perfume preparations that contain no, or substantially no, LilialTM. The invention further relates to methods of making said perfume ingredients and perfume preparations, as well as the use of said perfume ingredients and perfume preparations in fine fragrances and consumer products, such as personal care and household care products. The invention also relates to said fine fragrances and consumer products containing said perfume ingredients or perfume preparations.
• Compounds having muguet odour characteristics are very sought after perfume ingredients. These compounds are important ingredients in floral bases and can act as harmonizers across many different types of fragrance creations. Compounds of this type are used widely in consumer products, such as personal care and consumer care products, as well as in fine perfumery, to generate pleasant odours or to mask unpleasant odours.
• LilialTM An excellent perfume ingredient widely valued for its muguet odour note is LilialTM.
• Lilial TM is an example of an aryl-substituted alkanal, more particularly an aryl- substituted propanal. Specifically, its chemical name is 3-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-2- methylpropanal (CAS 80-54-6).
• This compound has found wide use in fine perfumery as well as in personal and household care products. However, its use has come under regulatory scrutiny in view of recent findings that it exhibits toxic effects on the reproductive organs of male rats and dogs. No effects were found in studies with mice, guinea-pigs and primates, nevertheless, under the Global Harmonized System (GHS) classification system this compound is classified as a CMR2 material. For CMR category 2 materials, it is necessary to establish that quantities proposed for use are harmless to consumers. I n view of the regulatory situation of LilialTM there is a need to replace it with other perfume ingredients.
• GHS Global Harmonized System
• WO2010105 873 addresses the problem of replacing Lilial TM.
• the proposed solution resides in the use of mixtures of known ingredients commonly found in the perfumery palette in order to recreate odour characteristics substantially similar to those of LilialTM.
• WO2009027957 proposes a solution residing in the formulation of combinations of known perfume ingredients from the perfumery palette.
• WO2013045301 also propose a solution to LilialTM replacement, which resides in the selection of mixtures of ingredients including the compound LilyfloreTM and a certain indanyl propanal compound, in combination with other secondary perfuming ingredients.
• the applicant has now found compounds that can be employed as perfume ingredients in perfume compositions and consumer products. More particularly, the applicant has found compounds that possess desirable muguet odour characteristics. Still more particularly, the applicant has found compounds that possess odour characteristics, which may be perceived and recognised by perfumers as being very pronounced of the odour of LilialTM and so can serve as a simple replacement for LilialTM. Furthermore, the compounds may have similar or even improved perfume performance compared with LilialTM. Finally, the applicant has found compounds that do not attract the regulatory concerns associated with LilialTM.
• aryl-substituted alkanal perfume ingredients that are close structural analogues to Lilial TM but which, critically, contain a substituent on the aryl ring, which is positioned ortho to the group bearing the aldehyde functionality, and/or have butanal as the aldehyde functionality, have similar odour characteristics as Lilial , but surprisingly carry with them none of the CMR-related issues associated with LilialTM as indicated by in vitro data.
• the invention provides in a first aspect a compound represented by the formula I
• F3 ⁇ 4 is a branched or linear, saturated or unsaturated C2-C7 alkyl or alkenyl, cycloalkyl or cycloalkenyl residue;
• 4-(4-isobutylphenyl)butanal is known as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals from DE 3933781 .
• the publication is silent about the odour of this compound and its use as perfume ingredient.
• I n EP 982023, 4-(4-(tert-butyl)phenyl)-3-methylbutanal is mentioned as a fragrance that may be released by a suitable siloxane.
• F3 ⁇ 4 through F3 ⁇ 4 is independently selected from H or methyl and F3 ⁇ 4 is a branched or linear, saturated or unsaturated C3-C 7 alkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkyi or cycloalkenyl residue, with the proviso that F3 ⁇ 4 is not a tert-butyl or isopropyl residue.
• a compound represented by the formula I is preferred, wherein R-i through F3 ⁇ 4 is independently selected from H or methyl, F is methyl, and F3 ⁇ 4 is a branched or linear, saturated or unsaturated C3-C 7 alkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkyi or cycloalkenyl residue.
• a compound represented by the formula I is preferred, wherein R-i through R4 is independently selected from H or methyl and R5 is a branched or linear, saturated C3-C 7 alkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkyi or cycloalkenyl residue, with the proviso that R 5 is not a tert-butyl or isopropyl residue.
• the compounds of the present invention possess significant odour characteristics. I n particular, they possess substantially similar odour characteristics and performance characteristics as Lilial TM. As such, and in contradistinction to the prior art proposals related to Lilial TM replacement based on mixtures of known ingredients, the present invention can achieve Lilial TM replacement based on a single compound. Such a replacement by a single fragrance might be cost-effective and convenient for a perfumer.
• compounds of the present invention can generate particularly substantive and long-lasting muguet odour characteristics.
• the compounds of the present invention might be particularly impactful perfume ingredients.
• the impact that a perfume ingredient exerts is related to its Odour Value.
• Odour Value is the ratio of vapour pressure to detection threshold concentration.
• Some of the compounds might have extremely high Odour Values.
• the structure related compound has an Odour Value of 559 ⁇ 71 .
• Related perfume ingredients are not impactful by comparison. For example Lilial TM has an odour value of only 32 ⁇ 78 whereas cyclamen aldehyde has an Odour Value of only 21 '986.
• the high Odour Value of some of the compounds of the present invention is significant in that there is a need for sustainability and the provision of impactful perfume ingredients enables perfumers to create desirable fragrance accords with lower concentrations of materials.
• the regulatory issues surrounding Lilial TM are born from the fact that it is enzymatically degraded in rats and dogs to tert-butyl benzoic acid (t-BBA), which is known to inhibit glucose synthesis and fatty acid synthesis in vitro (McCune et al, Arch Biochem Biophys (1982) 214 (1 ) : 124-133).
• tert-Butyl benzoic acid is known to cause testicular effects in male rats (Hunter et al. Food Cosmet. Toxicol. 1965, 3: 289-298; Cagen et al. J. Am. Coll. Toxicol. 1989, 8 (5) : 1027-1038).
• the compounds of the present invention are not or at least less susceptible to enzyme- mediated degradation to corresponding benzoic acid derivatives in vitro. This was indeed a very surprising result considering their close structural similarity to LilialTM.
• LilialTM and compounds of the present invention may be incubated in the presence of rat hepatocytes in suspension. Reduction in the concentration of LilialTM and the compounds of the present invention and formation of any of the corresponding benzoic acid derivatives may be analysed by GO MS.
