Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to carbomethoxy methyl norbornanes having the generic formula: ##STR2## wherein the dashed line represents a carbon-carbon single bond or a carbon-carbon double bond; and one of R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 is methyl and the other of R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 is hydrogen, and to novel compositions using one or more of such norbornane derivatives to alter, modify or enhance the flavor and/or aroma of consumable materials or impart flavor and/or aroma to consumable materials.
There has been considerable work performed relating to substances which can be used to impart (modify, augment or enhance) flavors and fragrances to (or in) various consumable materials. These substances are used to diminish the use of natural materials, some of which may be in short supply, and to provide more uniform properties in the finished product.
Application for U.S. Letters Patent, Ser. No. 133,870 filed on Mar. 25, 1980 relates to compounds generic to the compounds of the instant invention; carboalkoxy alkyl norbornanes having the generic formula: ##STR3## wherein the dashed line represents either a carbon-carbon single or a carbon-carbon double bond; R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 represent hydrogen or methyl; with the proviso that one of R.sub.1 or R.sub.2 is methyl and the other of R.sub.1 or R.sub.2 is hydrogen; and with the further proviso that R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are not both methyl, produced by the novel process of our invention and to novel compositions using one or more of such norbornane derivatives to alter, modify or enhance the flavor and/or aroma of consumable materials or impart flavor and/or aroma to consumable materials.
Mellor and Webb, J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans II, 1974 (I) 26-31 discloses production of the compounds having the structures: ##STR4## together with several other methyl substituted isomers thereof in admixture, according to the reaction: ##STR5## The Mellor and Webb article, however, does not disclose the reaction to take place at low temperatures in the presence of an alkyl aluminum halide or dialkyl aluminum halide whereby but two isomers are produced in a controlled fashion in high yields thus yielding an organoleptically acceptable mixture of carboalkoxy norbornane derivatives.

EXAMPLE I
Preparation of Methyl Ester of 2,5(and 6)Dimethyl-5-Norbornene-2-Carboxylic Acid
Reaction: ##STR20##
Into a 5,000 cc reaction flask equipped with stirrer, condenser, thermometer and dropping funnel and nitrogen blanket apparatus is placed 0.1 moles of ethyl aluminum dichloride and 1,000 cc anhydrous toluene. 460 grams (4.6 moles) of methyl methacrylate is added drop-wise to the reaction mass over a period of 40 minutes while maintaining the temperature thereof at 25.degree.-30.degree. C. Over a period of 1 hour and 15 minutes while maintaining the reaction temperature at 25.degree.-30.degree. C., 800.0 grams (4.6 moles) of methyl cyclopentadiene (46% in toluene) is added to the reaction mass. After addition of the methyl cyclopentadiene, the reaction mass is stirred at room temperature for a period of 45 minutes whereupon the indications are that the reaction has gone to completion. 300 cc of 10% hydrochloric acid is then added to the reaction mass. The reaction mass now exists in two phases; an organic phase and an aqueous phase. The organic phase is washed with two 500 cc portions of 10% sodium bicarbonate and one 300 cc portion of 10% sodium chloride. The reaction mass is then stripped and distilled yielding the following fractions (12" Stone column):

The composition is a clear liquid. Its viscosity may be increased by addition of a lauric or myristic diethanolamide or a soluble polyethylene glycol ester such as polyethylene glycol 6000. In addition, this composition may be rendered opaque by addition of stearic monoethanolamide stearate, polyethylene glycol 600 monostearate or a glyco amido stearate such as "Cerasynt 1P".
EXAMPLE VI
The following shampoo is prepared containing the following ingredients:
______________________________________Ingredients Parts by Weight______________________________________Tridecyloxy polyethoxy ethanol 17.3of ten ethoxy groupsPolyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan 7.5monolaurateMyristyl dimethylamine oxide 25.0(30% active)C.sub.10 -C.sub.20 fatty acyl monoethanolamide 2.5(cocomonoethanolamide)Polyacrylamide of molecular weight 0.2of about 1,500,000Hydrogen peroxide (30% aqueous 0.5solution)Perfume ingredient as indicated at 1.0Table II of Example IV, supra,giving rise to the aroma profilesas indicated in Table II ofExample IV, supraDeionized water (3 micromhos/cm 46.0conductivity)______________________________________
A shampoo of the above composition is made in the following matter. First, the tridecyloxy polyethoxy ethanol is added to a clean mixing tank, with the agitator on, and the amine oxide, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate and cocomonoethanolamine are added sequentially, with continued agitation. The mix is then heated to 68.degree. C., until the cocomonoethanolamide is melted and/or dissolved. The hydrogen peroxide solution is then admixed with the mentioned nonionics and mixing is continued for about half an hour, in which the peroxide destroys any free amines or other harmful impurities that may be present. The mix is then cooled to 38.degree. C.
In a separate mixer the polyacrylamide is gradually added to the formula weight of deionized water, with the mixer on. Addition is effected carefully and slowly (the polyacrylamide is sprinkled in) to avoid the production of "fish eyes" in the mix. After dissolving of the polyacrylamide the solution thereof is added to the first mixing tank with agitation and is blended with the nonionics, such mixings being at room temperature. Subsequently, the perfume as indicated in Table II of Example IV, supra, giving rise to the aroma profile as set forth in Table II of Example IV, supra, is admixed with the balance of the composition and mixing is continued for another half hour.
The product made is an excellent shampoo of satisfactory viscosity and aroma, foaming power, foam stability, low conductivity and good shampooing effects. The viscosity is about 1,000 centipoises at 20.degree. C. and the conductivity, using the Hach Conductivity Meter, is 750 micromhos/cm. The foaming power is 250 ml and the foam stability is 22 seconds, by the test method previously described. In comparison, a commercial shampoo based on triethanolamine lauryl sulphate detergent has a conductivity of about 22,000 micromhos/cm, a viscosity of about 1,500 centipoises, a foaming power of about 380 ml and a foam stability of 60 seconds.
In panel evaluations of the experimental shampoo compared to a different commercial product, in actual shampooing, the experimental formula was adjudged significantly better in being less drying, producing a softer feel for the wet hair, leaving the wet hair easier to comb, being less prone to accumulate static charges (less flyaway) and having a foam of better appearance and feel. Additionally, the experimental product was judged better in almost all hair effect properties, with the control only being about equal to it in curl retention. In properties other than those mentioned the experimental product was better in rinsability, the control was better in foam build-up rate and the foams were about equal in volume and stability.
In the shampooing described herein and in subsequent Examples the human hair is washed on the head by wetting the hair with warm tap water at about 42.degree. C., applying 15 grams of shampoo to the hair, lathering it into the hair for a minute, rinsing with warm tap water for 30 seconds, re-lathering with 7 grams of shampoo for a minute and rinsing off for 30 seconds, after which the hair is towel dried and dried further with an automatic hair dryer.
EXAMPLE VII
Fabric Freshener Composition
A fabric freshener composition is prepared as follows:
______________________________________Ingredients Parts by Weight______________________________________Sodium bicarbonate 3"Kyro" EOB (Trademark)* 1Perfume ingredient as set 1forth in Table II ofExample IV, supra, givingrise to an aroma as setforth in Table II ofExample IV, supraWater 0.05______________________________________ *A commercial nonionic surfactant comprising an average of eleven carbon atoms, ethoxylated to an average of 9 ethyleneoxy groups per molecule.
The composition of this Example is prepared by simply mixing the ingredients.
The above described composition is applied to a lightly soiled and wrinkled fabric as droplets (ca. 5.0 mm avg. size) using a trigger action sprayer having a nozzle which is adjustable to provide composition droplets in the desired range. The composition is applied at a rate of about 1 gram of composition to about 10 grams of fabric.
The fabric is then placed in an automatic dryer and dried, with tumbling action, at a temperature of 60.degree. C.-80.degree. C. for a period of 15 minutes. The fabric is rendered free of wrinkles and static, and has a fresh appearance and pleasant odor profile as set forth in Table II of Example IV, supra. Surprisingly, the sodium bicarbonate is not visible on the refreshed fabric.
In the foregoing procedure, substantially the same results were obtained when sodium carbonate is substituted for the sodium bicarbonate.
