BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to substituted norbornane derivatives of the genus of compounds having the structure: ##STR2## wherein each of the dashed lines represents a carbon-carbon single bond or a carbon-carbon double bond with the proviso that at least one of the dashed lines is a carbon-carbon single bond; wherein n is 0 or 1 with the proviso that n is 1 when both dashed lines are carbon-carbon single bonds and n is 0 when one of the dashed lines is a carbon-carbon double bond; wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are each the same or different hydrogen or lower alkyl; wherein Y is: ##STR3## WHEREIN Z is one of the moieties: ##STR4## wherein R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are each alkyl; wherein R.sub.7, R.sub.8 and R.sub.10 are each the same or different hydrogen or lower alkyl; wherein R.sub.9 and R.sub.9.sup.' taken separately are the same or different lower alkyl, or taken together is lower alkylene; wherein the dotted line represents a carbon-carbon single bond or a carbon-carbon double bond; and wherein each of the wavy lines represents, in the alternative, exo or endo isomers, produced by the novel processes of our invention, and to novel compositions using one or more of such substituted 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.
Fruity, piney/green, winey, fruity-estery, cedarwood, floral, woody, balsam tree resin-like, sweet, fruity berry, incense, minty, balsam, blueberry, piney, green fruity and/or pine needle/green aromas with piney, eugenol/clove, spicey, fruity, winey, sweet, banana-like, estery, balsam tree resin-like, woody, incense, warm tea-like, floral, cedarwood, rosey, berry, tea, astringent, bitter, camphoraceous green/earthy, green, minty, earthy, red beet-like, balsam natural-like, balsam resin-like, rum-like and/or blueberry tastes are particularly desirable for many uses in foodstuff flavors, chewing gum flavors, toothpaste flavors and medicinal product flavors.
Sweet, woody, fruity, cooling aroma prior to smoking and sweet, natural tobacoo like smoke flavor characteristics in the mainstream on smoking are desirable in tobaccos and in tobacco flavoring compositions.
Intense and pleasant, twiggy, melony, sweet, woody, fruity, spicey (nutmeg, pepper), herbaceous, fir-balsam, thujone-like, cedar leaf, camphoraceous, musty, minty, fresh cut pine/spruce, artemesia, natural-like, cresylic, borneol aromas with strong armoise-like undertones are desirable in several types of perfume compositions, perfumed articles and colognes.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,852,358 issued on Dec. 3, 1974, discloses a process for producing 2-acetyl-3,3-dimethyl-5-norbornene in both the exo and endo forms which have uses in perfumery and other fragrance applications. These compounds have the structures: ##STR5## These compounds, produced by reaction of cyclopentadiene with mesityl oxide, are starting materials for producing a number of the compounds of our invention. However, the compounds of our invention have unexpected, unobvious and advantageous properties when compared with the 2-acetyl-3,3-dimethyl-5-norbornene of U.S. Pat. No. 3,852,358.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,942,761 discloses the use in perfumery of 4-(2'-norbornyl)-2-butanones having the structure: ##STR6## wherein R.sub.1 is hydrogen or methyl and R is hydrogen or lower alkyl containing from 1 to 8 carbon atoms. Such compounds have structures which are different in kind from the structures of the compounds of our invention. Also disclosed as intermediates for producing the foregoing compounds are compounds having the generic structure: ##STR7## wherein the dotted line is a carbon-carbon single bond or a carbon-carbon double bond. In addition, the following reaction sequence is set forth therein: ##STR8##
Arctander, "Perfume and Flavor Chemicals", 1969, Vol. 1, discloses the use in perfume compositions and in foodstuff flavors of "fenchone", "fenchyl alcohol", "camphene carbinol", and "camphene carbinyl acetate", thus:
(i) "1385: FENCHONE laevo-Fenchone. (dextro- is known but less common as a fragrance material). 1,3,3-Trimethyl-2-norbornanone. 1,3,3-Trimethyl bicyclo-1,2,2-heptanone-2. ##STR9## Warm-camphoraceous, powerful and diffusive, basically sweet odor. Warm, somewhat burning and bitter taste with a medicinal note. This ketone finds some use as a masking odor in industrial fragrances. It is also used in the reconstruction of Fennel oil and a few other essential oils. In spite of its rather unpleasant taste, it is used in various Berry complex flavors, in Spice complexes and in certain types of Liquer flavoring. The concentration used is about 0.1 to 5 ppm in the finished product".
(ii) "1387: FENCHYL ALCOHOL 1,3,3-Trimethyl-2-norbornanol. 1,3,3-Trimethyl bicyclo-1,2,2-heptanol-2. 2-Fenchanol. Fenchol. ##STR10## The racemic alpha-Fenchol has a somewhat lower melting point, and the beta-Fenchols are all liquid at room temperature. Fenchol made by reduction of Fenchone from Cedarleaf oil is usually a mixture of several isomers, including the crystalline alpha-isomers. The beta-isomer forms a crystalline Hydrate which may be solid at room temperature. Almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol, miscible with oils. Powerful and diffusive, Camphor-like, but sweeter and more Citrus-like almost Lime-like odor with more or less of an earthy-dry character, according to the composition and isomer-ratio. The taste is somewhat bitter-Lime-like, camphoraceous and slightly woody-musty. This interesting alcohol (or mixed alcohols) finds use in perfume compositions ranging from woody or herbaceous to Citrus-Lime and even certain floral types. It produces power and "lift" to floral fragrances, and solid background to Lime and other Citrus bases, having the advantage over the Terpenes in being very stable in soap. Fenchyl alcohol is also used in flavor compositions such as Strawberry and other berries, Lime and Spice, etc. The concentration is normally low, e.g. 0.2 up to 5 ppm in the finished product".
(iii) "1028: 3,3-DIMETHYL-.DELTA..sup.2, beta-NORBORNANE-2-ETHANOL "Camphene carbinol". ##STR11## Sweet-camphoraceous, warm and soft odor with a woody undertone. Upon standing it may develop an odor resembling that of Celluloid.
Although rarely offered commercially, this chemical could find some use in perfume compositions of the woody, Oriental and orrisy type, in new variations of Pine fragrances, and in various soap and detergent perfumes".
(iv) "1029: 3,3-DIMETHYL-.DELTA..sup.2 -beta-NORBORNANE-2-ETHYLACETATE "Camphene carbinyl acetate". ##STR12## Mild and sweet-woody odor with a floral-piney undertone. The commercial products are probably not well-defined single chemicals, and great variations in odor have been observed.
This ester has been developed in line with the research on Sandalwood type odors. The parent alcohol "Camphene carbinol" was once considered useful as a Sandalwood type material, but it has found more use as a sweetening and enriching ingredient in sophisticated Pine fragrances. The title ester finds limited use in perfume compositions of woody character, Fougeres, Pine fragrances, etc. and it blends very well with the Cyclohexanol derivatives, Ionones, iso-Bornylacetate, Nitromusks, etc.".

Thus, for example, reaction of acetaldehyde with 2-acetyl-3,3-dimethylnorbornane produces 2-(trans-2-butenoyl)-3,3-dimethylnorbornane. It is preferred to carry out this reaction at a temperature in the range of from 120.degree. C. up to 200.degree. C. for a period of from 3 up to 10 hours. It is preferred that the mole ratio of 2-acetyl-3,3-dimethylnorbornane (or norbornene) aldehyde be 1:1 or slightly greater than 1:1. When using an alkali metal hydroxide catalyst, it is preferred that the mole ratio of base:acetyl norbornane or norbornene be from 1:1 up to 20:1. When using the mixed catalyst, boron oxide:boric acid, it is preferred that the mole ratio of aldehyde:boron oxide be approximately 2:1 or greater than 2:1 and it is preferred that the mole ratio of boron oxide:boric acid be between 5:1 and 10:1 with a preferred ratio range of between 6:1 and 8:1. In view of the temperature range of reaction, 120.degree.-180.degree. C., this reaction is carried out in an autoclave at autogeneous pressure. The resulting product can be used "as is" for its organoleptic properties or it can further be reacted with an R.sub.8 MgX (e.g. CH.sub.3 MgBr) Grignard reagent or R.sub.8 Li wherein R.sub.8 is lower alkyl in a solvent (e.g., tetrahydrofuran or diethyl ether) followed by acid hydrolysis (e.g., dilute HCl) or it can further be reduced using hydrogen as a reducing agent and a hydrogenation catalyst such as 5% palladium-on-carbon or Raney nickel. In place of the boric acid:boron oxide catalyst this reaction can be carried out using only boron oxide, and in that case, it is preferred to use a temperature of between 170.degree.-185.degree. C. at a pressure in the autoclave of between 40-100 psig.
Process 2: The camphene epoxide is prepared from reaction of camphene with a peralkanoic acid oxidizing agent, for example, peracetic acid or perpropionic acid. It is also preferred that the reaction take place from 0.degree. to 80.degree. C. (preferably, 40.degree.-60.degree. C.) in the presence of a solvent inert to the reactants or the reaction product. Such an inert solvent is methylene chloride. Other useful inert solvents are benzene, toluene, xylene and cyclohexane. The mole ratio of camphene:peracetic acid is preferably slightly less than 1:1 since it is desired that all the camphene be reacted. At the end of the reaction any excess peracetic acid is neutralized and the camphene oxide may be isolated or the reaction mass may be used "as is" for the subsequent reaction. From an economic standpoint, it is preferred that the reaction mass be used "as is" rather than purify the camphene oxide.
The resulting product is then rearranged to the aldehyde by heating with MgCl.sub.2 or MgBr.sub.2, and the resulting aldehyde is then admixed with a preprepared Grignard reagent having the formula: ##STR123## or organolithium reagent having the structure: ##STR124## wherein X is one of the halogen atoms chlorine, iodine or bromine and R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are the same or different hydrogen or lower alkyl. It is preferred that the Grignard reagent and the aldehyde each be respectively dissolved in appropriate solvents prior to admixing the aldehyde with the Grignard reagent. Suitable solvents for the reaction are tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether, and mixtures of tetrahydrofuran or diethyl ether with benzene, toluene, xylene, or cyclohexane. It is preferred that reaction of the Grignard reagent or organolithium compound with the aldehyde take place at a temperature in the range of from 50.degree. C. up to 100.degree. C. at atmospheric pressure, preferably in the range of 65.degree.-70.degree. C. The resulting organometallic compound is then hydrolyzed with aqueous acid, preferably an aqueous protonic acid such as hydrochloric acid or phosphoric acid, whereby the pH of the resulting solution is approximately 1. The resulting alcohol, the hydrolyzed product, is then extracted from the reaction mass with a suitable inert extraction solvent such as benzene, toluene or xylene and is then isolated by means of evaporation and fractional distillation. The resulting alcohol may then be used "as is" for its organoleptic properties in perfumery, as a flavorant for foodstuffs, in chewing gums, medicinal products or tobaccos or as a flavor for tobacco; or it may further be reacted as by oxidation or reduction.
The oxidation of the alcohol is carried out using a suitable oxidation agent such as "Jones Reagent", sodium dichromate-sulfuric acid mixture, pyridinium chlorochromate, or a chromium trioxide-acetic acid-water mixture to form the corresponding ketone. The oxidation reaction may be carried out at temperatures between -10.degree. C. and +50.degree. C. When using a Jones Reagent, it is preferred to use a temperature of about -5.degree. C. It is noteworthy that oxidation systems such as dimethyl sulfoxide-acetic anhydride or copper chromite have not given successful oxidations. The resulting ketone may be hydrogenated using, for example, a palladium catalyst or a palladium-on-carbon catalyst, whereby a saturated ketone is formed for example, according to the reaction: ##STR125## or the ketone can be used "as is" for its organoleptic properties. The hydrogenation is preferably carried out at temperatures in the range of from about 20.degree. C. up to 100.degree. C.
Process 3: In the reaction of 3,3-dimethylnorbornane-2-carboxaldehyde with the Grignard reagent having the structure: ##STR126## or the hydrocarbyl lithium compound having the structure: ##STR127## wherein n is 0 or 1, either or both of R.sub.1 or R.sub.2 is hydrogen or lower alkyl and X is one of the halogen atoms, chlorine, bromine or iodine, the reaction conditions are essentially the same as those of the corresponding reaction in Process 2 and the recovery steps are essentially the same. The resulting alcohol having the structure: ##STR128## can be used as such for its organoleptic properties or it can be oxidized to form a ketone under the conditions set forth in Process 2 or it can be esterified with an esterification agent to form an ester having the structure: ##STR129## wherein R.sub.3 is hydrogen or lower alkyl. Esterification agents are alkanoic acid anhydrides such as acetic anhydride, propionic anhydride, butyric anhydride; mixed anhydrides such as acetic-propionic anhydride; acyl halides such as acetyl chloride, propionyl chloride, acetyl bromide, propionyl bromide, n-butanoyl chloride, i-butanoyl chloride, n-pentanoyl chloride, n-octanoyl chloride, and n-lauroyl chloride.
Process 4: The reaction sequence: ##STR130## involves a reaction of methyl aniline with methyl magnesium halide (chloride, bromide or iodide) preferably each in an appropriate solvent such as benzene/tetrahydrofuran, tetrahydrofuran or diethyl ether. It is also preferred that the mole ratio of metyl aniline:methyl magnesium halide be 1:1. It is further preferred that the reaction temperature producing the compound having the structure: ##STR131## is from -5.degree. C. up to about 40.degree. C. with the most preferred temperature being 20.degree.-30.degree. C. The reaction of the above compound with acetaldehyde preferably takes place in the presence of an appropriate solvent such as benzenetetrahydrofuran, tetrahydrofuran, or diethyl ether at a temperature in the range of from -5.degree. C. up to 20.degree. C., with a preferred temperature of 0.degree. C. The hydrolysis to form the keto alcohol is carried out using a mineral acid such as dilute aqueous hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid or other protonic acids such as paratoluenesulfonic acid. The hydrolysis preferably takes place at 0.degree. C. The dehydration reaction using the keto alcohol is carried out with a mild dehydrating agent such as a mixture of acetic anhydride and sodium acetate at a temperature in the range of 80.degree.-150.degree. C. over a period of time of from about 1 up to 5 hours. The dehydration can also be carried out using a strong acid in a refluxing inert solvent, e.g., using a benzene-paratoluenesulfonic acid mixture. At the end of this reaction the excess dehydration agent, e.g. acetic anhydride, is destroyed and the reaction product isolated. Using this reaction sequence, only "trans" isomer is formed. If the starting material is "endo" 2-acetyl-3,3-dimethyl-5-norbornene, then the final product will also be an "endo" isomer. By the same token, if the starting material is "exo" 2-acetyl-3,3-dimethyl-5-norbornene, then the final product will be an "exo" isomer. Standard isolation techniques are used, e.g. fractional distillation and, if desired, preparative GLC for isolation of the end product.
Process 5: The reaction of 2-acetyl-3,3-dimethylnorbornane with the allyl chloride derivative takes place after first forming the enolate of the 2-acetyl-3,3-dimethylnorbornane, thusly: ##STR132## The reagent used to form such enolate is preferably a hydride such as sodium hydride and potassium hydride. The enolate is then reacted with the allyl halide having the structure: ##STR133## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are the same or different hydrogen or lower alkyl and X is one of the halogen atoms, chlorine, bromine or iodine. In addition, a similar result may be obtained when using an alkali metal hydroxide in the presence of a phase transfer agent whereby the reactants for the process and the base, respectively, are in two immiscible phases and the phase transfer agent may be one or more of several quaternary salts. Specific examples of phase transfer agents useful in our invention are as follows:
Tricapryl methyl ammonium chloride;
Cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide; and
Benzyl trimethyl ammonium hydroxide. In general, the phase transfer agents most preferred have the generic formula: ##STR134## wherein at least one of R.sub.11, R.sub.12, R.sub.13 and R.sub.14 is C.sub.6 -C.sub.14 aryl, C.sub.6 -C.sub.10 aralkyl, C.sub.6 -C.sub.20 alkyl, C.sub.6 -C.sub.14 alkaryl and C.sub.6 -C.sub.20 alkenyl and the other of R.sub.12, R.sub.13, R.sub.14 is alkyl such as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, 1-butyl, 2-butyl, 1-methyl-2-propyl, 1-pentyl and 1-octyl and z.sup.- is an anion such as chloride, bromide and hydroxide. Furthermore, this process is carried out in an inexpensive solvent which is inert to the reaction system such as toluene, benzene, o-xylene, m-xylene, p-xylene, ethyl benzene, n-hexane, cyclohexane, methylene chloride and o-dichlorobenzene. This Process (5) of our invention is carried out at a temperature in the range of from about 10.degree. C. up to about 150.degree. C. with a temperature range of 50.degree.-120.degree. C. being preferred. The reaction time is inversely proportional to the reaction temperature, with lower reaction temperatures giving rise to greater reaction times; and, accordingly, the reaction time ranges from about 30 minutes up to about 10 hours.
In this reaction of our invention the mole ratio of 2-acetyl-3,3-dimethylnorbornane:allyl halide reactant is in the range of from 0.5:1.5 up to 1.5:0.5 with a preferred ratio of norbornane:allyl halide being from 1:1 up to 1:1.2.
The quantity of "phase transfer agent" in the reaction mass, based upon the amount of 2-acetyl-3,3-dimethylnorbornane in the reaction mass, may vary from 0.5 grams of "phase transfer agent" per mole of norbornane derivative to 25 grams of "phase transfer agent" per mole of norbornane derivative with a preferred concentration of "phase transfer agent" being in the range of from 2.5 up to about 7.5 grams of "phase transfer agent" per mole of norbornane derivative.
Process (5) of our invention is preferably carried out at atmospheric pressure since that is the most convenient condition. However, lower or higher pressures can be used without detrimentally affecting the ultimate yield of desired reaction product.
Process 6: The initial compound formed is that created by reaction of the dialkyl carbonate with 2-acetyl-3,3-dimethylnorbornane in the presence of an alkali metal hydride, as illustrated by the following reaction: ##STR135## wherein R.sub.6 is alkyl having from 1 up to 8 carbon atoms, but most conveniently ethyl. The reaction is preferably carried out under reflux conditions using a solvent inert to the reactants such as benzene, toluene or xylene. The mole ratio of norbornane derivative: dialkyl carbonate is preferably 1:2; but can vary from 1:1 up to 1:5. The ratio of base:dialkyl carbonate is preferably 1:1.
The reaction of the resulting beta-ketocarboxylic acid ester with the allyl halide having the structure: ##STR136## (wherein X is a halogen, chlorine, bromine or iodine and R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.10 are the same or different hydrogen or lower alkyl), is carried out in the presence of approximately one equivalent of base such as an alkali metal hydride or alkali metal alkoxide or hydroxide in the presence of a suitable solvent. A "phase transfer agent" may be used.
The ketocarboxylic acid ester derivative has the structure: ##STR137## This ketocarboxylate, (a novel genus of compounds), is then saponified using standard techniques such as with an aqueous base such as 5-25% aqueous sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, and the resulting alkali metal salt having the structure: ##STR138## (wherein M is alkali metal), is then neutralized and simultaneously decarboxylated using aqueous mineral acid such as sulfuric acid or aqueous hydrochloric acid. The resulting reaction product having the structure: ##STR139## (a mixture of cis and trans isomers; wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 is alkyl) may then be used for its organoleptic properties "as is" or it may be hydrogenated with hydrogen using a catalyst such as palladium, palladium-on-carbon or Raney nickel, whereupon the carbon-carbon double bond in the side chain is reduced to a carbon-carbon single bond thereby forming a compound having the structure: ##STR140## Both the unsaturated ketone and the saturated ketone may be reacted, if desired, with an alcohol or glycol in the presence of sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid thereby forming a ketal according to the reaction: ##STR141## wherein R.sub.9 and R.sub.9 ' each represent lower alkyl taken separately or, when taken together, represents lower alkylene, e.g. ethylene; and wherein the dashed line represents a carbon-carbon single bond or a carbon-carbon double bond. Alternatively, either ketone may be converted into its corresponding oxime by using hydroxylamine or hydroxylamine acid salts such as hydroxylamine or hydrochloride whereby an oxime having the structure: ##STR142## is formed. Such ketals and oximes also have useful organoleptic properties.
Process 7: In the reaction of the 2-acyl-3,3-dimethylnorbornane or the 2-acyl-3,3-dimethyl-5-norbornene with the Grignard reagent having the structure: ##STR143## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.10 are separately hydrogen or lower alkyl and X is one of the halogen atoms, chlorine, bromine or iodine, the reaction conditions are essentially the same as those of the corresponding reaction in Process (2) and the recovery steps are essentially the same. R.sub.8 ' of the generic structure: ##STR144## is defined wherein R.sub.8 ' is lower alkyl such as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, n-butyl, i-butyl, n-pentyl and n-octyl. The resulting alcohol having the structure: ##STR145## can be esterified in accordance with the corresponding reaction detailed in the Process (3) description, supra.

When the norbornane derivatives of our invention are used as food flavor adjuvants, the nature of the co-ingredients included with each of the said norbornane derivatives in formulating the product composition will also serve to alter, modify, augment or enhance the organoleptic characteristics of the ultimate foodstuff treated therewith.
As used herein in regard to flavors, the terms "alter", "modify" and "augment" in their various forms mean "supplying or imparting flavor character or note to otherwise bland, relatively tasteless substances or augmenting the existing flavor characteristic where a natural flavor is deficient in some regard or supplementing the existing flavor impression to modify its quality, character or taste".
The term "enhance" is used herein to mean the intensification of a flavor or aroma characteristic or note without the modification of the quality thereof. Thus, "enhancement" of a flavor or aroma means that the enhancement agent does not add any additional flavor note.
As used herein, the term "foodstuff" includes both solid and liquid ingestible materials which usually do, but need not, have nutritional value. Thus, foodstuffs include soups, convenience foods, beverages, dairy products, candies, vegetables, cereals, soft drinks, snacks and the like.
As used herein, the term "medicinal product" includes both solids and liquids which are ingestible non-toxic materials which have medicinal value such as cough syrups, cough drops, aspirin and chewable medicinal tablets.
The term "chewing gum" is intended to mean a composition which comprises a substantially water-insoluble, chewable plastic gum base such as chicle, or substitutes therefor, including jelutong, guttakay, rubber or certain comestible natural or synthetic resins or waxes. Incorporated with the gum base in admixture therewith may be plasticizers or softening agents, e.g., glycerine; and a flavoring composition which incorporates one or more of the norbornane derivatives of our invention, and in addition, sweetening agents which may be sugars, including sucrose or dextrose and/or artificial sweeteners such as cyclamates or saccharin. Other optional ingredients may also be present.
Substances suitable for use herein as co-ingredients or flavoring adjuvants are well known in the art for such use, being extensively described in the relevant literature. It is a requirement that any such material be "ingestibly" acceptable and thus non-toxic and otherwise non-deleterious particularly from an organoleptic standpoint whereby the ultimate flavor and/or aroma of the consumable material used is not caused to have unacceptable aroma and taste nuances. Such materials may in general be characterized as flavoring adjuvants or vehicles comprising broadly stabilizers, thickeners, surface active agents, conditioners, other flavorants and flavor intensifiers.
Stabilizer compounds include preservatives, e.g., sodium chloride; antioxidants, e.g., calcium and sodium ascorbate, ascorbic acid, butylated hydroxyanisole (mixture of 2- and 3-tertiary-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole), butylated hydroxytoluene (2,6-di-tertiary-butyl-4-methylphenol), propyl gallate and the like and sequestrants, e.g., citric acid.
Thickener compounds include carriers, binders, protective colloids, suspending agents, emulsifiers and the like, e.g., agar agar, carrageenan; cellulose and cellulose derivatives such as carboxymethyl cellulose and methyl cellulose; natural and synthetic gums such as gum arabic, gum tragacanth; gelatin, proteinaceous materials; lipids; carbohydrates; starches, pectines, and emulsifiers, e.g., mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, skim milk powder, hexoses, pentoses, disaccharides, e.g., sucrose corn syrup and the like.
Surface active agents include emulsifying agents, e.g., fatty acids such as capric acid, caprylic acid, palmitic acid, myristic acid and the like, mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, lecithin, defoaming and flavor-dispersing agents such as sorbitan monostearate, potassium stearate, hydrogenated tallow alcohol and the like.
Conditioners include compounds such as bleaching and maturing agents, e.g., benzoyl peroxide, calcium peroxide, hydrogen peroxide and the like; starch modifiers such as peracetic acid, sodium chlorite, sodium hypochlorite, propylene oxide, succinic anhydride and the like, buffers and neutralizing agents, e.g., sodium acetate, ammonium bicarbonate, ammonium phosphate, citric acid, lactic acid, vinegar and the like; colorants, e.g., carminic acid, cochineal, tumeric and curcuma and the like; firming agents such as aluminum sodium sulfate, calcium chloride and calcium gluconate; texturizers, anti-caking agents, e.g., aluminum calcium sulfate and tribasic calcium phosphate; enzymes; yeast foods, e.g., calcium lactate and calcium sulfate; nutrient supplements, e.g., iron salts such as ferric phosphate, ferrous gluconate and the like, riboflavin, vitamins, zinc sources such as zinc chloride, zinc sulfate and the like.
Other flavorants and flavor intensifiers include aldehydes, esters, natural oils, alcohols, sulfides, ketones, lactones, carboxylic acids and hydrocarbons such as heliotropin, terpinenol-4, benzaldehyde, anisaldehyde, phenyl acetaldehyde, benzyl formate, benzyl acetate, cis-3-hexenyl benzoate, methyl hexanoate, hexanal, eucalyptol, eugenol, acetaldehyde, ethyl acetate, ethyl butyrate, turpentine gum oil, limonene, gum camphor, isobornyl acetate, borneol, cinnamic aldehyde, cuminic aldehyde, furfural, methyl cinnamate, cassia oil, vanillin, maltol, parahydroxybenzyl acetone, dimethyl sulfide, alpha-ionone, acetic acid, isobutyl acetate, acetone, butyric acid, formic acid, valeric acid, amyl acetate, amyl butyrate, anethol, benzyl salicylate, diacetyl, dimethyl anthranilate, ethyl methylphenylglycidate, ethyl succinate, ethyl valerate, geraniol, cis-3-hexen-1-ol, 2-hexenyl acetate, 2-hexenyl butyrate, hexyl butyrate, 4-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-2-butanone, beta-ionone, isobutyl cinnamate, jasmine, lemon essential oil, methyl butyrate, methyl caproate, methyl disulfide, methyl p-naphthyl ketone, orris butter, rose absolute, terpenyl acetate, gammaundecalactone, vanilla and alcohol.
The specific flavoring adjuvant selected for use may be either solid or liquid depending upon the desired physical form of the ultimate product, i.e., foodstuff, whether simulated or natural, and should, in any event, (i) be organoleptically compatible with the norbornane derivatives of our invention by not covering or spoiling the organoleptic properties (aroma and/or taste) thereof; (ii) be nonreactive with the norbornane derivatives of our invention and (iii) be capable of providing an environment in which the norbornane derivatives can be dispersed or admixed to provide a homogeneous medium. In addition, selection of one or more flavoring adjuvants, as well as the quantities thereof will depend upon the precise organoleptic character desired in the finished product. Thus, in the case of flavoring compositions, ingredient selection will vary in accordance with the foodstuff, chewing gum, medicinal product or toothpaste to which the flavor and/or aroma are to be imparted, modified, altered or enhanced. In contradistinction, in the preparation of solid products, e.g., simulated foodstuffs, ingredients capable of providing normally solid compositions should be selected such as various cellulose derivatives.
As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the amount of norbornane derivatives employed in a particular instance can vary over a relatively wide range, depending upon the desired organoleptic effects to be achieved. Thus, correspondingly, greater amounts would be necessary in those instances wherein the ultimate food composition to be flavored is relatively bland to the taste, whereas relatively minor quantities may suffice for purposes of enhancing the composition merely deficient in natural flavor or aroma. The primary requirement is that the amount selected to be effective, i.e., sufficient to alter, modify or enhance the organoleptic characteristics of the parent composition, whether foodstuff per se, chewing gum, per se, medicinal product per se, toothpaste per se, or flavoring composition.
The use of insufficient quantities of norbornane derivatives will, of course, substantially vitiate any possibility of obtaining the desired results while excess quantities provide needlessly costly and, in extreme cases, may disrupt the flavor-aroma balance, thus proving self-defeating. Accordingly, the terminology "effective amount" and "sufficient amount" is to be accorded a significance in the context of the present invention consistent with the obtention of desired flavoring effects.
Thus, and with respect to ultimate food compositions, chewing gum compositions, medicinal product compositions and toothpaste compositions, it is found that quantities of norbornane derivatives ranging from a small but effective amount, e.g., 0.5 parts per million up to about 100 parts per million based on total composition are suitable. Concentrations in excess of the maximum quantity stated are not normally recommended, since they fail to prove commensurate enhancement of organoleptic properties. In those instances, wherein the norbornane derivatives are added to the foodstuff as an integral component of a flavoring composition, it is, of course, essential that the total quantity of flavoring composition employed be sufficient to yield an effective norbornane derivative concentration in the foodstuff product.
Food flavoring compositions prepared in accordance with the present invention preferably contain the norbornane derivatives in concentrations ranging from about 0.1% up to about 15% by weight based on the total weight of the said flavoring composition.
The composition described herein can be prepared according to conventional techniques well known as typified by cake batters and fruit drinks and can be formulated by merely admixing the involved ingredients within the proportions stated in a suitable blender to obtain the desired consistency, homogeneity of dispersion, etc. Alternatively, flavoring compositions in the form of particulate solids can be conveniently prepared by mixing the norbornane derivatives with, for example, gum arabic, gum tragacanth, carrageenan and the like, and thereafter spray-drying the resultant mixture whereby to obtain the particular solid product. Pre-prepared flavor mixes in powder form, e.g., a fruit-flavored powder mix are obtained by mixing the dried solid components, e.g., starch, sugar and the like and norbornane derivatives in a dry blender until the requisite degree of uniformity is achieved.

An additional aspect of our invention provides an organoleptically improved smoking tobacco product and additives therefor, as well as methods of making the same which overcome problems heretofore encountered in which specific desired sweet, woody, piney and fruity flavor characteristics of natural tobacco (prior to smoking and, on smoking, in the mainstream and in the sidestream) as well as cooling effects, are created or enhanced or modified or augmented and may be readily controlled and maintained at the desired uniform level regardless of variations in the tobacco components of the blend.
This invention further provides improved tobacco additives and methods whereby various desirable natural aromatic tobacco flavoring characteristics with sweet, woody, piney, cooling and fruity notes may be imparted to smoking tobacco products and may be readily varied and controlled to produce the desired uniform flavoring characteristics.
In carrying out this aspect of our invention, we add to smoking tobacco materials or a suitable substitute therefor (e.g., dried lettuce leaves) an aroma and flavor additive containing as an active ingredient one or more norbornane derivatives of our invention.
In addition to the norbornane derivatives of our invention other flavoring and aroma additives may be added to the smoking tobacco material or substitute therefor either separately or in mixture with the norbornane derivatives as follows:
I. SYNTHETIC MATERIALS:
Beta-ethyl-cinnamaldehyde;
Eugenol;
Dipentene;
Damascenone;
Maltol;
Ethyl maltol;
Delta undecalactone;
Delta decalactone;
Benzaldehyde;
Amyl acetate;
Ethyl butyrate;
Ethyl valerate;
Ethyl acetate;
2-Hexenol-1;
2-Methyl-5-isopropyl-1,3-nonadiene-8-one;
2,6-Dimethyl-2,6-undecadiene-10-one;
2-Methyl-5-isopropylacetophenone;
2-Hydroxy-2,5,5,8a-tetramethyl-1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-decahydronaphthalene;
Dodecahydro-3a,6,6,9a-tetramethylnaphtho-(2,1-b)-furan
4-Hydroxyhexanoic acid, gamma lactone; and
Polyisoprenoid hydrocarbons defined in Example V of U.S. Pat. No. 3,589,372 issued on June 29, 1971.
II. NATURAL OILS:
Celery seed oil;
Coffee extract;
Bergamot Oil;
Cocoa extract;
Nutmeg Oil; and
Origanum Oil.
An aroma and flavoring concentrate containing one or more norbornane derivatives of our invention and, if desired, one or more of the above indicated additional flavoring additives may be added to the smoking tobacco material, to the filter or to the leaf or paper wrapper. The smoking tobacco material may be shredded, cured, cased and blended tobacco material or reconstituted tobacco material or tobacco substitutes (e.g., lettuce leaves) or mixtures thereof. The proportions of flavoring additives may be varied in accordance with taste but insofar as enhancement or the imparting of natural and/or sweet notes and/or cooling notes and/or fruity notes and/or woody notes, we have found that satisfactory results are obtained if the proportion by weight of the sum total of norbornane derivative(s) to smoking tobacco material is between 50 ppm and 1,500 ppm (0.015%-0.15%). We have further found that satisfactory results are obtained if the proportion by weight of the sum total of norbornane derivative used to flavoring material is between 1,500 and 15,000 ppm (0.15%-1.5%).
Any convenient method for incorporating the norbornane derivative(s) into the tobacco product may be employed. Thus, the norbornane derivative(s) taken alone or along with other flavoring additives may be dissolved in a suitable solvent such as ethanol, diethyl ether and/or volative organic solvents and the resulting solution may either be spread on the cured, cased and blended tobacco material or the tobacco material may be dipped into such solution. Under certain circumstances, a solution of the norbornane derivative(s) taken alone or taken further together with other flavoring additives as set forth above, may be applied by means of a suitable applicator such as a brush or roller on the paper or leaf wrapper for the smoking product, or it may be applied to the filter by either spraying, or dipping, or coating.
Furthermore, it will be apparent that only a portion of the tobacco or substitute therefor need be treated and the thus treated tobacco may be blended with other tobaccos before the ultimate tobacco product is formed. In such cases, the tobacco treated may have the norbornane derivative(s) in excess of the amounts or concentrations above indicated so that when blended with other tobaccos, the final product will have the percentage within the indicated range.
In accordance with one specific example of our invention, an aged, cured and shredded domestic burley tobacco is sprayed with a 20% ethyl alcohol solution of 2-(2-butenoyl)-3,3-dimethylnorbornane having the structure: ##STR167## in an amount to provide a tobacco composition containing 800 ppm by weight of 2-(2-butenoyl)-3,3-dimethylnorbornane on a dry basis. Thereafter, the alcohol is removed by evaporation and the tobacco is manufactured into cigarettes by the usual techniques. The cigarette when treated as indicated has a desired and pleasing aroma which is detectable in the main and sidestreams when the cigarette is smoked. This aroma is described as being sweeter, more aromatic, more tobacco-like and having sweet, fruity notes.
While our invention is particularly useful in the manufacture of smoking tobacco, such as cigarette tobacco, cigar tobacco and pipe tobacco, other tobacco products, formed from sheeted tobacco dust or fines may also be used. Likewise, the norbornane derivative(s) of our invention can be incorporated with materials such as filter tip materials (e.g. cellulose acetate filters wherein sweet, woody, piney and/or cooling effects are desired), seam paste, packaging materials and the like which are used along with tobacco to form a product adapted for smoking. Furthermore, the norbornane derivative(s) can be added to certain tobacco substitutes of natural or synthetic origin (e.g., dried lettuce leaves) and, accordingly, by the term "tobacco" as used throughout this specification is meant any composition intended for human consumption by smoking or otherwise, whether composed of tobacco plant parts or substitute materials or both.
The norbornane derivative(s) and one or more auxiliary perfume ingredients, including, for example, hydrocarbons, alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, nitriles, esters, lactones or cyclic esters, synthetic essential oils and natural essential oils, may be admixed so that the combined odors of the individual components produce a pleasant and desired fragrance, particularly and preferably in woody and/or piney fragrances. Such perfume compositions usually contain (a) the main note or the "bouquet" or foundation stone of the composition; (b) modifiers which round off and accompany the main note; (c) fixatives which include odorous substances which lend a particular note to the perfume throughout all stages of evaporation and substances which retard evaporation; and (d) topnotes which are usually low boiling fresh smelling materials.
In perfume compositions, it is the individual components which contribute to their particular olfactory characteristics, however the over-all sensory effect of the perfume composition will be at least the sum total of the effects of each of the ingredients. Thus, one or more of the norbornane derivative(s) of our invention can be used to alter, modify or enhance the aroma characteristics of a perfume composition, for example, by utilizing or moderating the olfactory reaction contributed by another ingredient in the composition.
The amount of norbornane derivative(s) of our invention which will be effective in perfume compositions as well as in perfumed articles and colognes depends on many factors, including the other ingredients, their amounts and the effects which are desired. It has been found that perfume compositions containing as little as 0.01% of norbornane derivative(s) or even less (e.g., 0.005%) can be used to impart a sweet, piney, woody, floral, fruity odor with berry, evergreen-like and tobacco-like nuances to soaps, cosmetics, detergents (including anionic, non-ionic and cationic detergents) or other products. The amount employed can range up to 70% of the fragrance components and will depend on considerations of cost, nature of the end product, the effect desired on the finished product and the particular fragrance sought.
The norbornane derivative(s) of our invention are useful (taken alone or together with other ingredients in perfume compositions) in detergents and soaps, space odorants and deodorants, perfumes, colognes, toilet water, bath preparations, such as lacquers, brilliantines, pomades and shampoos; cosmetic preparations, such as creams, deodorants, hand lotions and sun screens; powders, such as talcs, dusting powders, face powders and the like. As little as 1% of norbornane derivative(s) will suffice to impart an intense piney note to woody perfume formulations. Generally, no more than 3% of norbornane derivative(s) based on the ultimate end product, is required in the perfume composition.
In addition, the perfume composition or fragrance composition of our invention can contain a vehicle, or carrier for the norbornane derivative(s). The vehicle can be a liquid such as a non-toxic alcohol, a non-toxic glycol, or the like. The carrier can also be an absorbent solid, such as a gum (e.g., gum arabic), or components for encapsulating the composition (such as gelatin).
It will thus be apparent that the norbornane derivative(s) of our invention can be utilized to alter, modify or enhance sensory properties, particularly organoleptic properties, such as flavor(s) and/or fragrance(s) of a wide variety of consumable materials.
Examples I-XXXI, following, serve to illustrate processes for specifically producing the norbornane derivatives useful in our invention.
The following examples serve to illustrate specific embodiments of our invention.
It will be understood that these Examples are illustrative and the invention is to be considered restricted thereto only as indicated in the appended claims.
All parts and percentages given herein are by weight unless otherwise specified.
EXAMPLE I
PREPARATION OF 3,3-DIMETHYL-2-NORBORNANECARBOXALDEHYDE
Reaction: ##STR168##
Procedure:
Into a 3 liter flask fitted with a stirrer, addition funnel, reflux condenser and thermometer are placed the following materials:
______________________________________Camphene (80%) 500 gMethylene chloride 500 ccSodium carbonate 300 g______________________________________
The slurry is stirred while 600 cc of peracetic acid (40%) is added over a six hour period. The temperature rises until the mixture is at reflux (44.degree. C. in the beginning, 48.degree. C. at the end of the addition). The course of the reaction is monitored by GLC. The mixture is allowed to stir for 2 hours after the completion of the addition. The salts are then removed by filtration. The methylene chloride is stripped off and 500 cc of benzene is added. The mixture is azeotroped using a water separation trap to remove traces of water. After all water is removed, the mixture (670 g) is ready for use in the next step. A GLC (samples are prepared by dissolving the salts in water, separating the organic layer and washing it several times with water. The GLC conditions are: 10'.times.1/8" SE-30 column, programmed at 80.degree.-200.degree. at 8.degree. C. per minute) indicated 26% benzene, 9.6% tricyclene and 61.2% camphene oxide, corresponding to a yield of 408 g of camphene oxide, or 92% of theory.
50 Grams of magnesium bromide is added and the mixture is refluxed for four hours. At the end of this time a GLC analysis (10'.times.1/8" Carbowax 20M column, programmed from 80.degree.-220.degree. C. at 8.degree. C./minute) shows complete conversion of the camphene oxide to 3,3-dimethyl-2-norbornanecarboxaldehyde.
EXAMPLE II
PREPARATION OF ALPHA-ALLYL-3,3-DIMETHYL-2-NORBORNANEMETHANOL
Reaction: ##STR169##
Procedure:
Into a 3 liter reaction flask fitted with a stirrer, reflux condenser, thermometer, dropping funnel and a N.sub.2 bleed, is added 55 g of magnesium turnings (2.26 moles) and 1 liter of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran. The apparatus is blanketed with dry N.sub.2, and 2 moles of allyl chloride (152 g, 162 ml) is placed in the addition funnel; about 10 cc is added at once with stirring. When the reaction begins (exotherm to 30.degree.), the flask and contents are cooled to 0.degree. C. (dry ice/isopropyl alcohol bath) and the remainder of the allyl chloride is added over a 3 hour period while the temperature is kept at 0.degree.-5.degree.. When addition is complete the contents of the flask are stirred for an additional hour while warming to 22.degree. C. at room temperature. The Grignard solution is decanted from the excess magnesium into another reaction flask and 330 g of a solution of 3,3-dimethyl-2-norbornanecarboxaldehyde in benzene prepared as in Example I (62% aldehyde by GLC area normalization) is added over one hour. The reaction is exothermic and the temperature rises until the solution refluxes (65.degree.-70.degree. C.). At the end of the addition, the mixture is heated and refluxed for an additional 1/2 hour. The Grignard complex is hydrolyzed by the addition of about 400 cc of 15% HCl (to a pH of 1). The aqueous layer is separated and extracted with 200 cc of benzene. The combined organic layers are stripped on a rotary evaporator and the residue is distilled through a 1' stone packed column after adding thereto 30 g of Primol.RTM., at 70.degree.-77.degree. C. at 0.2-0.25 mm Hg pressure, yielding 206 grams product. The resulting product is essentially one peak by GLC analysis (conditions: 10'.times.1/8" SE-30 column, programmed at 80.degree.-220.degree. C. at 8.degree./min.). This corresponds to a yield of 92% theory based on 3,3-dimethyl-2-norbornanecarboxaldehyde added. This peak consists of a compound having the structure:

PREPARATION OF 2-(3-BUTENOYL)-3,3-DIMETHYLNORBORNANE USING A SODIUM DICHROMATE-SULFURIC ACID-BENZENE OXIDIZING SYSTEM
Reaction: ##STR171##
Procedure:
Sulfuric acid (60 cc, 110 g) is added slowly to 300 ml water with stirring. When the solution cools to room temperature, 300 cc (263 g) of benzene and 50 g of alpha-allyl-3,3-dimethyl-2-norbornanemethanol is added. The mixture is stirred at room temperature and 20 g of sodium dichromate is added. After one hour a second 20 g portion is added. After an additional one hour of stirring the layers are separated. The benzene layer is washed with saturated NaHCO.sub.3 solution and then with water. The solvent is stripped and the residue is distilled rapidly to yield two distillation fractions. The first distillation fraction has a boiling point range of 65.degree.-97.degree. C. at 1.2 mm and weighs 2.5 g. The second distillation fraction has a boiling point range of 97.degree.-99.degree. C. at 1.0 mm Hg and weighs 39.4 grams, corresponding to a yield of 80% of theory.
The second distillation fraction is primarily a compound having the structure: ##STR172##
This compound is purified by means of column chromatography on a column of silicic acid (deactivated by the addition of 5% water). The compound is eluted with a mixture of 2% diethyl ether in isopentane. Thus, from 1.5 grams of this second distillation fraction was obtained, after solvent stripping, 1.0 grams of an oil which was distilled on a micro distillation apparatus, yielding pure 2-(3-butenoyl)-3,3-dimethylnorbornane (i), having the following spectral characteristics:

PREPARATION OF ENDO-2-(TRANS-2-BUTENOYL)-3,3-DIMETHYL-5-NORBORNENE ##STR178##
Into a three necked flask equipped with a condenser, thermometer, mechanical stirrer and cooling bath (dry-iceisopropyl alcohol) is charged 666 grams (3.0 moles) of 3M methylmagnesium chloride in tetrahydrofuran. To this is added a solution of 321 grams (3.0 moles) of methyl aniline in 300 ml of benzene over a 30 minute period, keeping the reaction temperature at 20.degree.-30.degree. C. The reaction is exothermic and methane gas is evolved. When the gas evolution ceases a solution of 510 g (3.0 moles) of endo-2-acetyl-3,3-dimethyl-5-norbornene (prepared by AlCl.sub.3 catalyzed reaction of cyclopentadiene and mesityl oxide, U.S. Pat. No. 3,852,358) in 300 ml of benzene is added over 40 minutes with the temperature kept at 20.degree.-30.degree. C. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for one hour and then cooled to 0.degree. C. At this temperature 132 g (3.0 moles) of acetaldehyde in 300 ml of benzene is added over 30 minutes. After an additional 30 minutes at 0.degree. C., 600 g of 37% HCl diluted with 1200 ml of water is added. After another 15 minutes at 0.degree. C. the layers are separated. The organic layer is washed twice with water and dried over MgSO.sub.4. The solvent is evaporated keeping the liquid temperature below 45.degree. C. The residue is then combined with 600 ml of acetic anhydride and 150 g of sodium acetate, stirred and heated to 100.degree. C. for 2 hours. The mixture is cooled to 80.degree. C. and water is added to destroy excess acetic anhydride. The mixture is cooled, washed with water, saturated NaHCO.sub.3 solution and dried over MgSO.sub.4. The product is distilled without fractionation to give 204 g of an oil, b.p. 70.degree.-130.degree. C. (1.0-1.5 mm). This material contained about 50% starting ketone and a mixture of reaction products. The major reaction product is isolated by redistillation followed by preparative GLC on a 6'.times.1/4" column packed with 10% Carbowax 20M. On the basis of its NMR spectrum the product is predominantly the endo isomer (>90%): ##STR179##

The following basic cinnamon formulation is prepared:
______________________________________Ingredients Parts by Weight______________________________________Cinnamic aldehyde 70Eugenol 15Cuminic aldehyde 1Furfural 0.5Methyl cinnamate 5.0Cassia oil 8.5______________________________________
This formulation is split into two parts. To the first part is added, at the rate of 5%, alpha-allyl-3,3-dimethyl-2-norbornanemethanol prepared according to Example II. To the second part no additive is added. The alpha-allyl-3,3-dimethyl-2-norbornanemethanol adds a more cinnamon bark-like character in aroma and taste and a more woody/sweet aroma. It is therefor preferred to the formulation without such additive. The formulations are compared in water at the rate of 10 ppm.

The following basic raspberry formulation is prepared:
______________________________________Ingredients Parts by Weight______________________________________Vanillin 2Maltol 4Parahydroxy benzyl acetone 5Dimethyl sulfide 1Alpha-ionone (10% in propylene glycol) 2Ethyl butyrate 6Ethyl acetate 16Isobutyl acetate 14Acetic acid 10Acetaldehyde 10Propylene glycol 930 1000______________________________________
The above formulation is split into two parts. To the first part, at the rate of 0.3% is added alpha-ethyl-3,3-dimethyl-2-norbornanemethanol produced according to Example XVII. No additive is added to the second part. The two formulations are compared in water at the rate of 50 ppm. The flavor containing the alpha-ethyl-3,3-dimethyl-2-norbornanemethanol has a more ripe raspberry taste and a woody, raspberry kernel character. Therefore, the raspberry formulation containing the norbornane derivative as an additive has a more natural like and more characteristic raspberry flavor and is therefor preferred.

The magnesium turnings are placed into a 1 liter, 3 neck reaction flask, followed by 200 cc of anhydrous ether. Approximately 6 cc of allyl chloride is added to initiate formation of the Grignard reagent. When the reaction is initiated, the remaining allyl chloride is added dropwise over a 2 hour period, with moderate reflux. After the addition, reflux is continued for 1 hour; at which time 28.5 g 2-acetyl-3,3-dimethylnorbornane is introduced over a 20 minute period. The reaction is very exothermic during this addition. At the end of the addition, refluxing is continued for 1 hour. The work up is carried out by hydrolyzing with NH.sub.4 Cl solution, filtering and separating the layers. The organic layer is washed with two 200 cc portions of water, dried over MgSO.sub.4, filtered and concentrated to give 34 grams of oil which is distilled to give 26 g of product, b.p. 90.degree.-105.degree.

EXAMPLE LXI
SODIUM BOROHYDRIDE REDUCTION OF 2-(2-BUTENOYL)-3,3-DIMETHYLNORBORNANE ##STR269##
Into a 500 cc three necked reaction flask equipped with a stirrer, condenser and thermometer is placed 82 g (43 moles) of a material containing more than 90% 2-(trans-2-butenoyl)3,3-dimethylnorbornane (produced according to Example XII) and 250 g of anhydrous methanol. Over a period of 1 hour, 7 g of sodium borohydride is added to the reaction mass, while the reaction mass remains at 25.degree.-26.degree. C.
The reaction mass is then stirred for a period of 3 hours at 25.degree.-28.degree. C., whereupon another 7 grams of sodium borohydride is added. The reaction mass is then stirred for another 3 hours until no further change in the GLC profile is observed. The resulting mixture is then transferred to a 1 liter flask, and the methanol is stripped off leaving a slurry. To the slurry is added 500 ml water, and the resulting mixture is extracted with 150 ml of cyclohexane. The cyclohexane extract is stripped and distilled rapidly at 100.degree.-115.degree. C. and a vacuum of 2.4-2.6 mm Hg. After adding to the resulting material 5 g Primol.RTM. and 0.1 g of Ionol.RTM., the rushed over material is fractionally distilled on a 8 plate Vigreux column at 113.degree.-120.degree. C. vapor temperature and 2.7-4.4 mm Hg pressure (reflux ratio 20:1). Ten fractions are produced of which fractions 2-8 are used for flavor and perfumery work.
The resulting material is primarily a mixture of three compounds having the structures: ##STR270## as confirmed by NMR, IR and Mass Spectral analyses.
The resulting mixture is evalulated at 10% in food grade ethanol, from a perfumery standpoint, and has sweet piney, bornyl acetate-like, berry and somewhat woody notes.
From a flavor standpoint, it has a spicey, valerian oil-like, calamus-like, pine needle-like, herbaceous and fruity aroma character with a valerian oil-like, calamus, pine needle, herbaceous and fruity flavor character at 1 ppm.
The resulting mixture has uses in spice flavors, cordial flavors, pine needle flavors and root beer flavors.
