Methyl substituted oxobicyclo-4,4,0-decane derivatives, process for preparing same and organoleptic uses thereof

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The instant invention covers compounds having the generic structure: ##STR4## wherein the dashed line represents a carbon-carbon single bond or a carbon-carbon double bond; wherein X represents the moieties: ##STR5## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.8 and R.sub.9 represent hydrogen or methyl with the provisos that (i) at least three of R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 represent hydrogen and (ii) when the dashed line is a carbon-carbon single bond and X is: ##STR6## then one of R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 or R.sub.4 is methyl and the other represents hydrogen; wherein R.sub.5 represents hydrogen, MgZ or Li; wherein Z represents chloro, bromo or iodo; and wherein R.sub.6 represents hydrogen or methyl; as well as uses of the above compounds, with the exception of the organometallic compounds of the genus, for augmenting or enhancing the aromas and/or taste of consumable materials.
Materials which can provide minty, camphoraceous, dry woody, sweet, fruity, woody, patchouli, green, herbaceous, basil-like, citrus-like, strong ambery, vanoris-like, bergamot-like, lime-like, grapefruit-like, peppery, precious-woody, vetiver-like, fresh, musky, lavender, thyme, rosemary, sweaty, rooty, carrot-like, beet-like and earthy aromas with floral, citrus, lavender and amber topnotes and backgrounds are known in the art of perfumery. Many of the natural materials which provide such fragrances and contribute desired nuances to perfumery compositions are high in cost, vary in quality from one batch to another and/or are generally subject to the usual variations of natural products.
By the same token, materials which can provide oriental, incense-like, peppery, blueberry-like, eucalyptol-like, minty, camphoraceous, sage-like, grapefruit-like, floral, musk-like, rose-like, black pepper, spicy, patchouli, cooling, menthol-like, sandalwood-like, woody, earthy and walnut-like aromas with oriental, black pepper, peppery, minty, menthol-like, sage-like, grapefruit-like, eucalyptol-like, camphoraceous, floral, rosey, earthy and patchouli-like tastes are well known in the art of flavoring for foodstuffs, toothpastes, chewing gums and medicinal products. Many of the natural materials which provide such flavor nuances and contribute desired nuances to flavoring compositions are high in cost, vary in quality from one batch to another and/or are generally subject to the usual variations of natural products.
Sweet, fruity, berry-like, cooling, woody and floral aroma and taste nuances are known in the art of the production of smoking tobaccos and smoking tobacco articles. Many of the natural materials which provide such aroma and taste nuances to smoking tobacco compositions are high in cost, vary in quality from one batch to another and/or are generally subject to the usual variations of natural products.
There is, accordingly, a continuing effort to find synthetic materials which will replace, enhance or augment the essential flavor and/or fragrance notes provided by natural essential oils or compositions thereof. Unfortunately, many of these synthetic materials either have the desired nuances only to a relatively small degree or else contribute undesirable or unwanted odor to the consumable compositions. The search for materials which can provide more refined patchouli-like aromas, for example, have been difficult and relatively costly in the areas of both natural products and synthetic products.
Artificial flavoring agents for foodstuffs have received increasing attention in recent years. For many years such food flavoring agents have been preferred over natural flavoring agents at least in part due to their diminished cost and their reproducible flavor qualities. For example, natural food flavoring agents such as extracts, concentrates and the like are often subject to wide variations due to changes in quality, type and treatment of the raw materials. Such variations can be reflected in the end products and result in unfavorable flavor characteristics in said end product. Additionally, the presence of the natural product in the ultimate food may be undesirable because of increased tendency to spoil. This is particularly troublesome in food and food uses where such products as dips, soups, chips, sausages, gravies and the like are apt to be stored prior to use.
The fundamental problem in creating artificial flavor agents is that the artificial flavor to be achieved be as natural as possible. This generally proves to be a difficult task since the mechanism for flavor development in many foods, medicinal products, chewing gums and toothpastes is not completely known. This is noticable in products having licorice, citrusy and vegetable flavor characteristics particularly.
Even more desirable are products that can serve to substitute for difficult-to-obtain natural perfumery oils and at the same time substitute for natural flavoring ingredients in foodstuffs, chewing gums, medicinal products, toothpastes, and smoking tobaccos.
Oxobicyclo compounds are known in the prior art. Thus, Nagakura, et al, Bull. Chem. Soc. Japan Vol. 48(10), 2995-6 (October 1975) discloses the compound defined according to the generic structure: ##STR7## produced by the reaction: ##STR8## wherein one of R.sub.1 ', R.sub.2 ', R.sub.3 ' or R.sub.4 ' is methyl and the others represent hydrogen. In addition, Conia and Rouessac, Bull. Soc. Chem. France 1953 (page 1925 et seq.) discloses processes for producing oxobicyclo compounds according to the following reaction steps: ##STR9##
The use of oxotricyclic derivatives in perfumery is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,996,169, issued on Dec. 7, 1976. Thus, in U.S. Pat. No. 3,996,169, a genus defined according to the structure: ##STR10## is disclosed, wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5, R.sub.6, R.sub.7, R.sub.8, R.sub.9 and R.sub.10 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and methyl; and wherein the dashed line may be a carbon-carbon single bond or a carbon-carbon double bond. Members of this genus are indicated to be capable of altering, modifying, enhancing or emparting an aroma of or to consumable materials including colognes, perfumes and perfumed articles and such an aroma is of a patchouli type.
Arctander, "Perfume and Flavor Chemicals", 1969, Vol. 1 discloses the use in perfume compositions and foodstuff flavors of "decalinol", "decalone", "fenchone", and "fenchyl alcohol", thusly:
"(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-heptone-2. ##STR11## 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. ##STR12## 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 Cedar-leaf 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) 824: TRANS-DECAHYDRO-BETA-NAPHTHOL
trans-beta-Decanol. (sometimes called "Decalinol".)
Bicyclo-4,4,0-Decanol ##STR13## Colorless viscous liquid, solidifying in the cold to an opaque mass. The presence of variable amounts of the cis-isomer is mainly responsible for the variations in physical appearance of this material.
Mild, sweet, slightly camphoraceous-woody, also warm and mildly spicy odor of fair tenacity. The odor has been compared to that of Dihydrocarveol, but such description does not help many perfumers.
Practically insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
This alcohol has been used, and is still used on a mosdest scale, in perfume compositions, mostly in connection with woody and camphoraceous fragrance types, including the Ionones, Cyclohexylderivatives, etc. Several of its esters (see following monographs) have been more successful as perfume materials).
However, since the Ambregis- and Sandalwood-notes, which are represented to a certain degree in the esters, can be obtained with much superior beauty by way of modern perfume chemicals, there is reason to believe that the Decahydronaphthyl series will eventually becomre obsolete.
Prod.: by catalytic hydrogenation of beta-Naphthol. The reaction yields a mixture of cis- and trans-isomers, but the perfumers generally prefer the trans-isomer or a material primarily consisting of that isomer.
(iv) 830: BETA-DECALONE
Decahydro naphthalone The commercial products consist of a mixture of cis- and trans-isomers. ##STR14## Viscous colorless liquid, solidifying in the cold. Practically insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
The cis-isomer is liquid and boils at 247.degree. C.
The trans-isomer is solid below 6.degree. C. and boils at 241.degree. C.
Semi-dry, tenacious odor resembling part of the Ambregris-picture, also woody, remotely reminiscent of Sandalwood. Odor variations are observed in materials from different sources of supply.
This ketone has found a little use in perfume compositions, including soap perfumes, where it can introduce pleasant background notes in support of Musk Ambrette, Labdanum, Methylionones, etc.
Recent development in Ambregris chemicals has brought much superior materials in the hands of the perfumer, and it is very likely that the title material, and many of its relatives, will become obsolete within the next decade or so.
Prod.: by oxidation of beta-Decalol with Chromic acid mixture."
U.S. Pat. No. 3,932,515 discloses the use of the compound having the structure: ##STR15## in perfumery and specifically indicates that such compound has a woody aroma of high tenacity. U.S. Pat. No. 3,932,516 discloses the compound having the structure: ##STR16## and indicates that this compound is useful in perfumery due to its woody character.
None of the references cited above, or for that matter any other references discloses compounds which have a close structural relationship to the genus of compounds of the instanct invention. In any event, the organoleptic properties of the compounds of the references are different in kind from those of the compounds of the instant invention.

THE INVENTION
It has now been discovered that novel solid and liquid foodstuff, chewing gum, medicinal product and toothpaste compositions and flavoring compositions therefor having oriental, incense-like, peppery, blueberry-like, eucalyptol-like, minty, menthol-like, camphoraceous, sage-like, grapefruit-like, floral, musk-like, rose-like, black pepper, spicy, patchouli, cooling, sandalwood-like, woody, earthy, and walnut-like aromas with oriental, black pepper-like, peppery, minty, menthol-like, eucalyptol-like, camphoraceous, sage-like, grapefruit-like, floral, rosey, earthy and patchouli-like tastes; as well as novel smoking tobacco and smoking tobacco flavoring compositions having sweet, fruity, berry-like, cooling, woody and floral aromas prior to smoking and on smoking in both the main stream and the side stream; as well as novel perfume compositions, colognes and perfumed articles (e.g., solid or liquid anionic, cationic, nonionic and zwitterionic detergents, fabric softener compositions, cosmetic powders and dryer-added fabric softener articles) having intense and pleasant minty, camphoraceous, dry woody, sweet, fruity, patchouli, woody, pathouli, green, herbaceous basil-like, citrus-like, strong ambery, vanoris-like, bergamot-like, lime-like, grapefruit-like, peppery, precious woody, vetiver, fresh, musky, lavender, thyme, rosemary, sweaty, rooty, carrot-like, beet-like and earthy aromas with floral, citrus, lavender, and amber-like top-notes and undertones may be provided by the utilization of one or more methyl substituted oxobicyclo-4,4,0-decane derivatives of our invention having the generic structure: ##STR95## wherein X is a moiety which is either: ##STR96## wherein the dashed line represents a carbon-carbon single bond or a carbon-carbon double bond; wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.8 and R.sub.9 represent hydrogen or methyl with the provisos: (i) that at least three of R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 represent hydrogen and the other of R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 is methyl and (ii) that when the dashed line is a carbon-carbon single bond and X is the moiety: ##STR97## then one of R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 or R.sub.4 is methyl and the other of R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 is hydrogen; wherein R.sub.5 represents hydrogen and R.sub.6 represents hydrogen or methyl in foodstuffs, chewing gums, toothpastes, medicinal products, perfume compositions, perfumed articles, colognes and smoking tobaccos as well as smoking tobacco substitutes.
Unless otherwise specified, representations herein of organic structures are intended to indicate a "cis" isomer, a "trans" isomer, of a mixture of "cis" and "trans" isomers with respect to the plane of the cyclohexane or the cyclohexane ring. Thus, the generic structure: ##STR98## may either be a "cis" isomer, for example, having the structure: ##STR99## or a "trans" isomer having the structure: ##STR100##
Furthermore, the "trans" structure: ##STR101## with respect to the methyl moiety at the "-9, 10-" position may further be specified, for example, by the structure: ##STR102## wherein X is >CHOH.
The methyl substituted oxobicyclo-4,4,0-decane derivatives of my invention may be prepared by first reacting 2,6,6-trimethylcyclohex-2-enone with a substituted butadiene such as butadiene, isoprene or piperylene according to the reaction: ##STR103## The ratio of diene:ketone may be in the range of from about 1:1 (mole ratio) up to about 10:1 with a mole ratio of diene:ketone preferably being about 1.5:1. The reaction may be carried out in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst such as aluminum trichloride, zinc chloride, titanium tetrachloride, BF.sub.3.etherate, ethyl aluminum dichloride, diethyl aluminum chloride, and other Lewis acid catalysts. Reaction may be carried out in the presence of or in the absence of a solvent. When using a solvent, solvents such as toluene, xylene and chlorinated solvents may be used which are inert to the reactants.
The reaction may be carried out at the temperatures of between -15.degree. C. and 100.degree. C.; preferably at -10.degree. C. up to about 50.degree. C. The reaction may be carried out at atmospheric pressure, super atmospheric pressures and subatmospheric pressures. Most conveniently, economically and preferably the reaction is carried out at atmospheric pressure.
The resulting ketone may be used as is for its organoleptic properties, in which case, the resulting ketone is purified as by standard extraction and fractional distillation processes. The isomers resulting may be commercially separated as by means of high pressure liquid chromatography.
The resulting ketone may, however, be further reacted either (i) by means of a reduction reaction to form a saturated ketone according to the reaction: ##STR104## or (ii) by reduction of the ketone moiety to form an alcohol by means of the reaction: ##STR105## or (iii) by means of reaction with an organometallic compound such as a Grignard reagent followed by subsequent hydrolysis whereby the 1-methyl-1-hydroxy derivative is formed according to the reaction scheme: ##STR106## wherein M is either MgX, or Li; wherein X is chloro, bromo or iodo; and wherein the dashed line is a carbon-carbon single bond or a carbon-carbon double bond.
The resulting unsaturated alcohol may further be reduced as by hydrogenation, for example, according to the reaction: ##STR107##
When a hydrogenation reaction is carried out, e.g.: ##STR108## a hydrogenation catalyst is used, for example, a palladium catalyst or a palladium-on-carbon catalyst whereby a saturated ketone is formed. The hydrogenation is preferably carried out at temperatures in the range of from about 20.degree. C. up to about 100.degree. C. at pressures of between about 30 psig and about 300 psig; preferably at pressures of between 40 psig and 60 psig. At the end of the hydrogenation, the resulting ketone may be used for its organoleptic properties in which case the resulting ketone is purified by means of standard extraction procedures and standard fractional distillation procedures. In the event that two or more isomers are formed as a result of the reaction, the resulting isomers may be separated as by means of fractional distillation or even by means of high pressure liquid chromatography.
When the ketone moiety is reduced to the alcohol as by means of the reaction: ##STR109## this reaction takes place using a reducing agent such as lithium aluminum hydride, sodium borohydride, lithium borohydride, Al(isobutyl).sub.2 H or "Vitride.RTM." which is NaAlH.sub.2 (OCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 OCH.sub.3).sub.2. However, the ketone moiety may be reduced to the alcohol moiety by means of high pressure and high temperature hydrogenation, e.g. carrying out a hydrogenation at about 90.degree.-150.degree. C. at pressure of between 50 and 5,000 psig. The higher pressure and higher temperature range will give rise to shorter reaction time.
The resulting ketone may be used as is or may be further reacted with an organometallic compound which is subsequently hydrolyzed. Thus, if the resulting ketone is to be used "as is" for its organoleptic properties, said ketone will be further "worked up" as by means of standard extraction procedures and/or fractional distillation procedures. In the event that pure isomers are desired and indeed pure stereoisomers are desired, high pressure liquid chromatographic techniques may be used as well as standard stereoisomer-separation techniques using pure stereoisomers which will react with a functional group followed by decomposition after fractional crystallization, for example.
When the resulting ketone is reacted with an organo-metallic compound to form a second organometallic compound which is subsequently hydrolyzed according to the reaction procedure: ##STR110##
(a) In the reaction of the oxabicyclic ketone with the organometallic compound having the structure:
CH.sub.3 --M
it is preferred that the compound having the structure:
CH.sub.3 --M
be reacted in an appropriate solvent such as benzene, benzene/tetrahydrofuran, tetrahydrofuran or diethyl ether. It is also preferred that the mole ratio of organometallic compound having the structure:
CH.sub.3 --M:Ketone
be about 1:1. It is further preferred that the reaction temperature be from about -5.degree. C. up to about 40.degree. C. with the most preferred temperature being 20.degree. C.-30.degree. C.; and
(b) The hydrolysis of the organometallic compound to form the resulting 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.-20.degree. C. At the end of this reaction, the reaction product is isolated by means of standard isolation techniques such as fractional distillation and, if desired, preparative GLC or high pressure GLC for isolation of the end product.
An alternative method for preparing unsaturated alcohols of our invention is to react the ketones resulting from the Diels-Alder reaction with isopropyl magnesium halide. In view of the sterically hindered position of the ketone (as a result of the methyl groups "alpha" to the ketone moiety), an oxygrignard is formed from the ketone without alkylation at the ketone moiety. The resulting oxygrignard may then be hydrolyzed using standard hydrolysis conditions as set forth above to yield the resulting 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 methyl substituted oxobicyclo-4,4,0-decane derivatives of our invention by not covering or spoiling the organoleptic properties (aroma and/or taste) thereof; (ii) be non-reactive with the methyl substituted oxobicyclo-4,4,0-decane derivatives of our invention and (iii) be capable of providing an environment in which the methyl substituted oxobicyclo-4,4,0-decane 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 methyl substituted oxobicyclo-4,4,0-decane 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 methyl substituted oxobicyclo-4,4,0-decane derivatives will, of course, substantially vitiate any possibility of obtaining the desired results while excess quantities prove 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 methyl substituted oxobicyclo-4,4,0-decane derivatives ranging from a small but effective amount, e.g., 0.01 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 methyl substituted oxobicyclo-4,4,0-decane 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 methyl substituted oxobicyclo-4,4,0-decane derivative concentration in the foodstuff product.
Food flavoring compositions prepared in accordance with the present invention preferably contain the methyl substituted oxobicyclo-4,4,0-decane derivatives in concentrations ranging from about 0.01% 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 disperseion, etc. Alternatively, flavoring compositions in the form of particulate solids can be conveniently prepared by mixing the methyl substituted oxobicyclo-4,4,0-decane 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 methyl substituted oxobicyclo-4,4,0-decane derivatives in a dry blender until the requisite degree of uniformity is achieved.

An additional aspect of my 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, fruity, berry-like, woody and floral 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, fruity, berry-like, cooling, woody and floral 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 my 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 methyl substituted oxobicyclo-4,4,0-decane derivatives of my invention.
In addition to the methyl substituted oxobicyclo-4,4,0-decane derivatives of my invention other flavoring and aroma additives may be added to the smoking tobacco material or substitute therefor either separately or in mixture with the methyl substituted oxobicylo-4,4,0-decane derivatives as follows:

An aroma and flavoring concentrate containing one or more methyl substituted oxobicyclo-4,4,0-decane derivatives of my 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, I have found that satisfactory results are obtained if the proportion by weight of the sum total of methyl substituted oxobicyclo-4,4,0-decane derivative(s) to smoking tobacco material is between 50 ppm and 1,500 ppm (0.015%-0.15%). I have further found that satisfactory results are obtained if the proportion by weight of the sum total of methyl substituted oxobicyclo-4,4,0-decane derivative used to flavor material is between 1,500 and 15,000 ppm (0.15%-1.5%).
Any convenient method for incorporating the methyl substituted oxobicyclo-4,4,0-decane derivative(s) into the tobacco product may be employed. Thus, the methyl substituted oxobicyclo-4,4,0-decane 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 methyl substituted oxobicyclo-4,4,0-decane 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 methyl substituted oxobicyclo-4,4,0-decane 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 my invention, an aged, cured and shredded domestic burley tobacco is sprayed with a 20% ethyl alcohol solution of 3,4,4A,5,8,8A-hexahydro-2,2,5,8A-tetramethyl-1-(2H)-naphthalenone prepared according to Example VI(B), in an amount to provide a tobacco composition containing 800 ppm by weight of 3,4,4A,5,8,8A-hexahydro-2,2,5,8A-tetramethyl-1-(2H)-naphthalenone 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 a sweet, fruity note.
While my 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 methyl substituted oxobicyclo-4,4,0-decane derivative(s) of my invention can be incorporated with materials such as filter tip materials (e.g. cellulose acetate filters wherein sweet, woody, fruity, floral 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 methyl substituted oxobicyclo-4,4,0-decane 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 methyl substituted oxobicyclo-4,4,0-decane 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 sandalwoody and/or patchouli-like 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 methyl substituted oxobicyclo-4,4,0-decane derivative(s) of my 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 methyl substituted oxobicyclo-4,4,0-decane derivative(s) of my 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 methyl substituted oxobicylo-4,4,0-decane derivative(s) or even less (e.g. 0.005%) can be used to impart a minty, camphoraceous, dry, woody, sweet, fruity, patchouli-like, woody patchouli, green, herbaceous, basil-like, citrus-like, strong ambery, vanoris-like, bergamot-like, lime-like, grapefruit-like, peppery, precious woody, vetiver-like, fresh, musky, lavender, thyme, rosemary, sweaty, rooty, carrot-like, beet-like and earthy nuances with floral, citrus, lavander and amber topnotes to soaps, cosmetics, detergents (including anionic, non-ionic, cationic and zwitterionic solid or liquid 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 methyl substituted oxobicylo-4,4,0-decane derivative(s) of my 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, hair 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 0.1% of the methyl substituted oxobicyclo-4,4,0-decane derivative(s) will suffice to impart an intense minty, camphoraceous, dry woody, sweet fruity, patchouli, woody patchouli, green, herbaceous, basil-like, citrus-like, strong ambery, vanoris-like, bergamot-like, lime-like, grapefruit-like, peppery, precious woody, vetiver-like, fresh, musky, lavendar, thyme, rosemary, sweaty, rooty, carrot-like, beet-like and/or earthy aroma to woody perfume formulations. Generally, no more than 5% of the methyl substituted oxobicyclo-4,4,0-decane derivative(s) based on the ultimate end product, is required in the perfume composition.
In addition, the perfume composition or fragrance composition of my invention can contain a vehicle, or carrier for the methyl substituted oxobicyclo-4,4,0-decane 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 gum (e.g., gum arabic), or components for encapsulating the composition (such as gelatin).
It will thus be apparent that the methyl substituted oxobicyclo-4,4,0-decane derivative(s) of my 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.
The following Examples serve to illustrate processes for specifically producing the methyl substituted oxobicyclo-4,4,0-decane derivatives of my invention and also serve to illustrate specific embodiments of my 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.
