Patent Application
20250234910
The present application relates to thienyl alkanoates and related compounds, methods of making them, and methods of using them as flavor and fragrance ingredients in food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, consumer, and other compositions and products.
Scent is an important factor used to produce a sense of anticipation, quality, palatability, and security to many consumer products. Flavor is particularly important for foodstuffs. Identifying effective aromas and flavors to impart in a product is an element that contributes to the success of the product, and is useful in product marketing, consumer satisfaction, and consumer retention. Toasted coconut and other nutty smells may be particularly desirable for certain flavors and fragrances and may be used in toiletries, cosmetics, household cleaners, room sprays, laundry, and fine fragrance applications, such as in perfumes and toilet water, dental hygiene products (such as toothpastes and mouthwashes), orally administered medications, and food products.
Considerable work is performed by many scientists relating to identifying new substances which can be used, alone or in combinations, to impart to, or enhance, the aroma or flavor of various consumable materials, including, e.g., cosmetics, cleaners, and foodstuffs. While there may be some trends in the relationship between chemical structure and flavor or fragrance—such as common use of low molecular weight aldehydes and alcohols as flavors and fragrances—the precise aroma associated with a molecule is exceedingly difficult to predict. Small changes in structure, such a lengthening or shortening a functional group by just one carbon atom, can have profound and unexpected effects on a compound's flavor or fragrance profile. The art of flavor and fragrance prediction is still in its infancy.
Using a proprietary predictive method, the inventors have identified thienyl alkanoates and related compounds, as new ingredients useful in flavors and fragrances. Such compounds have not been specifically identified as a flavor or fragrance ingredient, nor have their smells or odors been previously described.
This application describes the surprising and unexpected olfactive qualities of thienyl alkanoates, and analogs and derivatives thereof, and their use as fragrance and flavor ingredients, and potential applications thereof.
In one aspect, the application relates to compounds of Formula IA, IB, IC, ID, IE, and IF (collectively “Formula I”):
wherein:
In some embodiments, the compound of Formula I is ethyl 3-(3-thienyl)propionate.
In another embodiment of the first aspect, the application relates to compounds of Formula IIA, IIB, IIC, IID, IIE, and IIF (collectively “Formula II”):
wherein
In another aspect, the application relates to fragrance and flavor compositions comprising the compound of Formula I (e.g., Formula IA, IB, IC, ID, IE, or IF) and/or the compound of Formula II (e.g., Formula IIA, IIB, IIC, IID, IIE, or IIF), optionally comprising one or more additives, additional fragrance or flavor ingredients, or a combination of additives and fragrance or flavor ingredients. In some embodiments, the application relates to fragrance and flavor compositions comprising ethyl 3-(3-thienyl)propionate.
In another aspect, the application relates to products, such as consumer products, comprising such fragrance and flavor compositions comprising the compound of Formula I (e.g., Formula IA, IB, IC, ID, IE, or IF) and/or the compound of Formula II (e.g., Formula IIA, IIB, IIC, IID, IIE, or IIF), as herein provided, e.g., products comprising ethyl 3-(3-thienyl)propionate.
In another aspect, the present disclosure provides a method of making compounds of Formula I or the compounds of Formula II.
The details of one or more embodiments of the application are set forth in the accompanying description below. Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. In the case of conflict, the present specification will control.
Other features and advantages of the application will be apparent from the following detailed description, examples, and claims.
The inventors have unexpectedly found that the compound ethyl 3-(3-thienyl)propionate has a unique and favorable aroma. It has thus been determined to be useful in imparting and providing desirable aromas and/or flavors to the products to which it is added. Other Compounds of Formula I (e.g., Formula IA, IB, IC, ID, IE, or IF) are expected to likewise have pleasant or desirable flavors and/or aromas. Such compounds are therefore potentially useful for products where the inclusion of a pleasing fragrance or flavor is desired, including, but not limited to, perfumes, household products, laundry products, personal care products, cosmetics, dental hygiene products, orally administered medications, and food products. The Compounds of Formula I (e.g., Formula IA, IB, IC, ID, IE, or IF) may be employed in varying amounts depending upon the specific fragrance or flavor product application, the nature and amount of other flavor or fragrance ingredients present, and the desired aroma and/or flavor of the product.
In a first aspect, the present disclosure provides a compound of Formula I wherein the compound is a compound of Formula IA, IB, IC, ID, IE, and IF:
wherein:
In further embodiments of the first aspect, the present disclosure provides:
In another embodiment of the first aspect, the application relates to compounds of Formula IIA, IIB, IIC, IID, IIE, and IIF (collectively “Formula II”):
means either a single bond or a double bond, provided one of the
is a single bond and the other
is a double bond;
In further embodiments of this aspect, the present disclosure provides:
In a second aspect, the present disclosure provides a flavor composition and/or a fragrance composition (Composition 1) comprising a Compound of Formula I, or any of 1.1-1.50, e.g., any of compounds of Formula IA, IB, IC, ID, IE, or IF, in admixture with one or more non-toxic, orally acceptable, pharmaceutically acceptable, cosmetically acceptable, or acceptable for a household product, carriers or excipients. In particular embodiments, the second aspect provides:
In another embodiment of the second aspect, the present disclosure provides a flavor composition and/or a fragrance composition (Composition 2) comprising a Compound of Formula II, or any of 2.1-2.42, e.g., any of compounds of Formula IIA, IIB, IIC, IID, IIE, or IIF, in admixture with one or more non-toxic, orally acceptable, pharmaceutically acceptable, cosmetically acceptable, or acceptable for a household product, carriers or excipients. In particular embodiments, the second aspect provides:
As used herein, the term “fragrance composition” means a mixture of fragrance ingredients (e.g., including a Compound of Formula I or any of 1.1-1.50, or Compound of Formula II, or any of 2.1-2.42) with one or more non-toxic, cosmetically acceptable, or acceptable for a household product, carriers or excipients, such as solvents. For example, the fragrance ingredient(s) may be dissolved in a suitable solvent or mixed with a powdery substrate, with additional auxiliary substances added (e.g., additives), if desired. A fragrance composition is used, and intended to be used, to provide or impart a desired odor or aroma to a product, such as a cosmetic product or household product (e.g., household cleaners). Thus, a fragrance composition is used as an ingredient or component in a final product, such as a cosmetic product or consumer product, for which a particular fragrance is desired. Examples of products having fragrance compositions include, but are not limited to, perfumes, soaps, insect repellants and insecticides, detergents, household cleaning agents, air fresheners, room sprays, pomanders, candles, cosmetics, toilet waters, pre- and aftershave lotions, talcum powders, hair-care products, body deodorants, anti-perspirants, and pet litter. A fragrance composition should have enough of its fragrance ingredients so that it is effective to provide the desired odor or aroma to the final product, and this depends both on the concentration of the fragrance ingredients in the composition and the concentration of the composition used in the product.
As used herein, the term “flavor composition” means a mixture of flavor ingredients (e.g., including a Compound of Formula I or a Compound of Formula II) with one or more non-toxic, orally acceptable, or pharmaceutically acceptable, carriers or excipients, such as solvents. For example, the flavor ingredient(s) may be dissolved in a suitable solvent or mixed with a suitable solid, semi-solid, or liquid excipients, with additional auxiliary substances added (e.g., additives), if desired. A flavor composition is used, and intended to be used, to provide or impart a desired flavor and aroma to a product, such as a food product or oral pharmaceutical product. Thus, a flavor composition is used as an ingredient or component in a final product, such as a food or oral pharmaceutical product, for which a particular flavor is desired. Examples of products having flavor compositions include, but are not limited to, oral care compositions (e.g., dental hygiene products such as mouth wash, toothpaste, floss, and breath fresheners), pharmaceutical compositions (e.g., orally administered medications including liquids, tablets or capsules), and food products. A flavor composition should have enough of its flavor ingredients so that it is effective to provide the desired flavor and aroma to the final product, and this depends both on the concentration of the flavor ingredients in the composition and the concentration of the composition used in the product.
Fragrance and flavor ingredients and mixtures of fragrance and flavor ingredients that may be used in combination with the disclosed compound for the manufacture of fragrance and flavor compositions include, but are not limited to, natural products including extracts, animal products and essential oils, absolutes, resinoids, resins, and concretes, and synthetic fragrance materials which include, but are not limited to, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, ethers, acids, esters, acetals, phenols, ethers, lactones, furansketals, nitriles, acids, and hydrocarbons, including both saturated and unsaturated compounds and aliphatic carbocyclic and heterocyclic compounds, and animal products. As used herein, the terms “fragrance ingredient” and “flavor ingredient” refer to ingredients other than the Compounds of Formula I or Formula II which are used to impart a flavor or a fragrance to a composition or product.
Examples of esters which may be used as fragrance ingredients or flavor ingredients in the compositions and products of the present disclosure include, but are not limited to, acrylic acid esters (methyl, ethyl, etc.), acetoacetic acid esters (methyl, ethyl, etc.), anisic acid esters (methyl, ethyl, etc.), benzoic acid esters (allyl, isoamyl, ethyl, geranyl, linalyl, phenylethyl, hexyl, cis-3-hexenyl, benzyl, methyl, etc.), anthranilic acid esters (cinnamyl, cis-3-hexenyl, methyl, ethyl, linalyl, isobutyl, etc.), N-methylanthranilic acid esters (methyl, ethyl, etc.), isovaleric acid esters (amyl, allyl, isoamyl, isobutyl, isopropyl, ethyl, octyl, geranyl, cyclohexyl, citronellyl, terpenyl, linalyl, cinnamyl, phenylethyl, butyl, propyl, hexyl, benzyl, methyl, rhodinyl, etc.), isobutyric acid esters (isoamyl, geranyl, citronellyl, terpenyl, cinnamyl, octyl, nellyl, phenylethyl, phenylpropyl, phenoxyethyl, butyl, propyl, isopropyl, hexyl, benzyl, methyl, ethyl, linalyl, rhodinyl, etc.), undecylenic acid esters (allyl, isoamyl, butyl, ethyl, methyl, etc.), octanoic acid esters (allyl, isoamyl, ethyl, octyl, hexyl, butyl, methyl, linalyl, etc.), octenoic acid esters (methyl, ethyl, etc.), octynecarboxylic acid esters (methyl, ethyl, etc.), caproic acid esters (allyl, amyl, isoamyl, methyl, ethyl, isobutyl, propyl, hexyl, cis-3-hexenyl, trans-2-hexenyl, linalyl, geranyl, cyclohexyl, etc.), hexenoic acid esters (methyl, ethyl, etc.), valeric acid esters (amyl, isopropyl, isobutyl, ethyl, cis-3-hexenyl, trans-2-hexenyl, cinnamyl, phenylethyl, methyl, etc.), formic acid esters (anisyl, isoamyl, isopropyl, ethyl, octyl, geranyl, citronellyl, cinnamyl, cyclohexyl, terpenyl, phenylethyl, butyl, propyl, hexyl, cis-3-hexenyl, benzyl, linalyl, rhodinyl, etc.), crotonic acid esters (isobutyl, ethyl, cyclohexyl, etc.), cinnamic acid esters (allyl, ethyl, methyl, isopropyl, propyl, 3-phenylpropyl, benzyl, cyclohexyl, methyl, etc.), succinic acid esters (monomenthyl, diethyl, dimethyl, etc.), acetic acid esters (anisyl, amyl, α-amylcinnamyl, isoamyl, isobutyl, isopropyl, isobornyl, isoeugenyl, eugenyl, 2-ethylbutyl, ethyl, 3-octyl, p-cresyl, o-cresyl, geranyl, α- or β-santalyl, cyclohexyl, cycloneryl, dihydrocuminyl, dimethyl benzyl carbinyl, cinnamyl, styralyl, decyl, dodecyl, terpenyl, guainyl, neryl, nonyl, phenyl ethyl, phenylpropyl, butyl, furfuryl, propyl, hexyl, cis-3-hexenyl, trans-2-hexenyl, cis-3-nonenyl, cis-6-noneyl, cis-3-cis-6-nonadienyl, 3-methyl-2-butenyl, heptyl, benzyl, bornyl, myrcenyl, dihydromyrcenyl, myrtenyl, methyl, 2-methylbutyl, menthyl, linalyl, rhodinyl, etc.), salicylic acid esters (allyl, isoamyl, phenyl, phenylethyl, benzyl, ethyl, methyl, etc.), cyclohexylalkanoic acid esters (ethyl cyclohexylacetate, allyl cyclohexylpropionate, allyl cyclohexylbutyrate, allyl cyclohexylhexanoate, allyl cyclohexyldecanoate, allyl cyclohexylvalerate, etc.), stearic acid esters (ethyl, propyl, butyl, etc.), sebacic acid esters (diethyl, dimethyl, etc.), decanoic acid esters (isoamyl, ethyl, butyl, methyl, etc.), dodecanoic acid esters (isoamyl, ethyl, butyl, etc.), lactic acid esters (isoamyl, ethyl, butyl, etc.), nonanoic acid esters (ethyl, phenylethyl, methyl, etc.), nonenoic acid esters (allyl, ethyl, methyl, etc.), hydroxyhexanoic acid esters (ethyl, methyl, etc.), phenylacetic acid esters (isoamyl, isobutyl, ethyl, geranyl, citronellyl, cis-3-hexenyl, methyl, etc.), phenoxyacetic acid esters (allyl, ethyl, methyl, etc.), furancarboxylic acid esters (ethyl furancarboxylate, methyl furancarboxylate, hexyl furancarboxylate, isobutyl furaneopentyl glycol diacetateropionate, etc.), propionic acid esters (anisyl, allyl, ethyl, amyl, isoamyl, propyl, butyl, isobutyl, isopropyl, benzyl, geranyl, cyclohexyl, citronellyl, cinnamyl, tetrahydrofurfuryl, tricyclodecenyl, heptyl, bornyl, methyl, menthyl, linallyl, terpenyl, α-methylpropionyl, β-methylpropionyl, etc.), heptanoic acid esters (allyl, ethyl, octyl, propyl, methyl, etc.), heptinecarboxylic acid esters (allyl, ethyl, propyl, methyl, etc.), myristic acid esters (isopropyl, ethyl, methyl, etc.), phenylglycidic acid esters (ethyl phenylglycidate, ethyl 3-methylphenylglycidate, ethyl p-methyl-β-phenylglycidate, etc.), 2-methylbutyric acid esters (methyl, ethyl, octyl, phenyl ethyl, butyl, hexyl, benzyl, etc.), 3-methylbutyric acid esters (methyl, ethyl, etc.), butyric acid esters (anisyl, amyl, allyl, isoamyl, methyl, ethyl, propyl, octyl, guainyl, linallyl, geranyl, cyclohexyl, citronellyl, cinnamyl, nellyl, terpenyl, phenylpropyl, β-phenylethyl, butyl, hexyl, cis-3-hexenyl, trans-2-hexenyl, benzyl, rhodinyl, etc.), and hydroxybutyric acid esters (methyl, ethyl, menthyl or the like of 3-hydroxybutyric acid esters).

Flavor compositions may be used to mask the unpleasant taste of orally administered medications. For example, if a medication is salty, a flavor composition that has cinnamon, raspberry, orange, maple, butterscotch, or glycyrrhiza (licorice) flavor may be used to mask the taste. If a medication is overly sweet, a flavor composition that has a berry, vanilla, or acacia flavor may render the medication more palatable.

Preferred solvents and excipients for use in the compositions and products of the present disclosure include, but are not limited to, triethyl citrate, triacetin, glycerol, propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, isopropyl myristate, ethanol, water, triglycerides, liquid waxes, propylene glycol derivatives (e.g., polymers), and ethylene glycol derivatives (e.g., polymers).
The amount of a given fragrance or flavor ingredient in a fragrance or flavor composition cannot be categorically described because it varies depending on the type product being scented or flavored, the intended use of the product, and the desired aroma and/or taste of the product. The amount of a fragrance or flavor ingredient in a fragrance or flavor composition is usually in the range of from about 1% to about 99% by mass of the fragrance composition. When the amount of the ingredient is too small, a sufficient strength of the scent or flavor may not be obtained. Further, when the amount of the ingredient is too large, a larger amount of the agent(s) needed to solubilize the ingredient may be needed, which may in turn reduce the desired aromatic or flavor properties of the end product by inhibiting volatilization or other mechanisms by which the flavor or fragrance is dispersed when the product is used or consumed. The amount of each of the fragrance and flavor ingredients in a given fragrance or flavor composition must therefore be selected based upon the aromatic and/or flavor characteristics of the selected ingredient, the overall composition of the product, and the intended aromatic and/or flavor effect.
Additives may be used in the flavor and fragrance compositions of the present disclosure. Additives that may be used include, but are not limited to, solvents, surfactants, pH adjusters, buffers, thickening agents, desiccants, emulsifiers, foaming agents, stabilizers, antioxidants, and disintegrating agents. Other fragrance and flavor composition additives will be selected in accordance with the intended use of the composition.
Solvents, for example water-soluble organic solvents, which may be used in the flavor and fragrance compositions of the present disclosure include, but are not limited to, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, butanol, 3-methoxy-3-methyl-1-butanol, benzyl alcohol, ethyl carbitol (diethylene glycol monoethyl ether), ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, butylene glycol, hexylene glycol, glycerin, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, propylene glycol monomethyl ether, propylene glycol monoethyl ether, and dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether. These water-soluble solvents may be used solely or in combination. The content of the water-soluble organic solvent in the compositions of the application may be determined according to the desired composition properties, and is usually from about 1% to about 99% by mass.
Oil-soluble organic solvents which may be used with the flavor and fragrance compositions of the application include, but are not limited to, isoparaffin, paraffin, limonene, pinene, triethyl citrate, benzyl benzoate, isopropyl myristate, triacetin, and silicone.

The substances used in, or in addition to, the fragrance and flavor compositions of the present application may be determined by the product in which the composition is included. When the substance is used in a flavor or fragrance composition, it may be an additive. When the substance is used alongside a flavor or fragrance composition, it may be considered as part of a product composition that comprises a fragrance or flavor composition.
Excipients that may be used in the fragrance and flavoring compositions and products of the present disclosure may vary depending on the use of the intended product and its overall composition. In some instances, the excipient may be included in the fragrance or flavor composition or may, alternatively, be independent of the composition. Excipients used in or with flavoring compositions of an orally administered medication may include, but are not limited to, tablet coatings, such as a cellulose ether hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, synthetic polymer, shellac, corn protein zein or other polysaccharides, and gelatin. In contrast, cosmetic excipients may include, but are not limited to, Carbopol 940 ETD, triethanolamine, purified water, glycerin, imidazolidinyl urea, EDTA, polyvinyl alcohol, methyl parabens phenoxyethanol 0, ethyl alcohol 1, peg 7 glyceryl cocoate, peg 6 triglyceryl caproic glycerides, acemulogar LAM V, isopropyl myristate, tegosoft CT, xanthan gum, sepicide CL, polyquaternium 7, and Vaseline oils. Additional suitable excipients for use with or in a flavor and/or fragrance composition for a given product will be readily selected by those having ordinary skill in the art.
Buffers that may be used with the fragrance and flavoring compositions of the present application may vary depending on the use of the intended product and its overall composition. In some instances, the buffer may be included in the fragrance or flavor composition or may, alternatively, be independent of the composition. Examples of buffers that may be used in or with the fragrance and flavor compositions of the application include, but are not limited to, citrates, acetates, and phosphates. For example, trisodium citrate may be used as a flavor or as a preservative, and is known to impart tartness to a flavor, but also acts as a buffer. Trisodium citrate is an ingredient in a variety of sodas and other beverages, as well as drink mixes and bratwurst. In cosmetic products, disodium hydrogen phosphate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, disodium hydrogen phosphate and, and citric acid may be used to buffer the pH of the product. In toothpaste, calcium carbonate and/or dicalcium phosphate may be used as pH buffers. Additional suitable buffers for use with or in a flavor and/or fragrance composition for a given product will be readily selected by those having ordinary skill in the art.

Odor profile for selected compounds within the scope of the disclosure is determined using assessments by one Master Perfumer and 4-6 trained sensory panelists. Sensory panelists are trained on our internal taxonomy with reference materials that include 11 grand families, and 62 subfamilies. Panelists are experienced in, but not trained in, an additional several hundred odor descriptors. Panelists are trained on usage of a rating scale, which also includes internal references. Panelists are not advanced to compound evaluation until they have completed and received a passing score on a Final Exam on the taxonomy that was curated by our perfumery team.
A single score is generated for the sensory panel by taking the arithmetic mean of all panelist scores for a given sample, for a given attribute. Alternatively, a single score may be generated by fitting all panelist scores to a model that can correct for differences in the intercept or slope of the latent function through which each panelist produces a rating given a percept, i.e. correction for inter-panelist variation.
The Master Perfumer, possessing a deep knowledge of fragrance ingredients, high level technical expertise, and who is recognized for their experience in creating complex perfumes, reviews, may augment sensory panel scores for improved accuracy.
Test samples are dissolved at a concentration of 10% w/v in ethanol. At time 0 (t=0), new test blotters (White Paper Paddle Shaped Perfumery Blotters, measuring 5×0.5 inches) are dipped into the 10% solution of the text compound. Odor descriptions at time t=0 are captured within 1-2 minutes of wetting the blotter to allow for evaporation of most of the ethanol solvent, permitting a more accurate determination of the test compound's odor. Assessments are made at ambient temperature in a benchtop laboratory setting. The procedure is repeated at 2 hours and at 24 hours.
The results are shown in the table below:
