FIG. 1 is the GLC profile for the crude reaction product of Example I. The peak indicated by reference numeral 10 is the peak for the mixture of compounds having the structures: ##STR29## The peak indicated by reference numeral 12 the peak for a side product, a dimer defined according to the structure: ##STR30##

Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, there is provided a process for forming scented polymer elements (wherein the polymer may be a thermoplastic polymer such as low density propyethylene or polypropylene or copolymers of ethylene ad vinyl acetate or mixtures of polymers and copolymers such as copolymers of ethylene and vinyl acetate and polyethylene) such as pellets useful in the formation of plastic articles useful in fabricating certain articles which may be perfumed. The process comprises heating the polymer or mixture of polymers to the melting point of said polymer or mixture of polymers, e.g., 250.degree. C. in the case of low density polyethylene. The lowermost portion of the container 212 is maintained at a slightly lower temperature and the material in the container is taken off at such location for delivery through the conduit. Thus, referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, in particular, the apparatus used in producing such elements comprises a device for forming the polymer containing perfume, e.g., polyethylene or polyethylenepolyvinyl acetate or mixtures of same or polypropylene, which comprises a vat or container 212 into which the polymer taken alone or in admixture with other copolymers and the perfuming substance which is at least a mixture of 2-(2-bornyloxy)-ethyl-1-ethanols defined according to the structure: ##STR32## wherein in the mixture one of R.sub.1 or R.sub.2 is ethyl and the other of R.sub.1 or R.sub.2 is hydrogen and other compatible perfumes (if desired) is placed. The container is closed by means of an air-tight lid 228 and clamped to the container by bolts 265. A stirrer 273 traverses the lid or cover 228 in air-tight manner and is rotatable in a suitable manner. A surrounding cylinder 212 having heating coils 212A which are supplied with electric current through cables 214 and 222 from rheostats or controls 216 or 220 is operated to maintain the temperature inside the container 212 such that the polymer in the container will be maintained in the molten or liquid state. It has been found advantageous to employ polymers at such a temperature that the viscosity will be in the range of 90-100 sayboldt seconds. Heating coils 212A is operated to maintain the upper portion of the container 212 within a temperature range of, for example, 220.degree.-270.degree. C. in the case of low density polyethylene. The bottom portion of the container 212 is also heated by means of heating coils 212A regulated through the control 220 and the control 216 connected thereto through connecting wires 222 and 214 respectively to maintain the lower portion of the container 212 within a temperature range of 220.degree.-270.degree. C.
Thus, the polymer or mixture of polymers added to the container 212 is heated from 10-12 hours, whereafter the perfume composition or perfume material which contains a mixture of 2-(2-bornyloxy)-ethyl-1-ethanols of our invention is quickly added to the melt. Generally, about 10-45% by weight of the resulting mixture of perfuming substance containing the mixture of 2-(2-bornyloxy)-ethyl-1-ethanols of our invention is added to the polymer.
After the perfume material is added to the container 212, the mixture is stirred for a few minutes, for example, 5-15 minutes and maintained within the temperature ranges indicated previously using the heating coils 212A. The controls 216 and 220 are connected through cables 224 and 226 to a suitable supply of electric current for supplying the power for heating purposes.
Thereafter, the valve "V" is opened permitting the mass to flow outwardly through conduit 232 having a multiplicity of orifices 234 adjacent to the lower side thereof. The outer end of the conduit 232 is closed so that the liquid polymer in intimate admixture with the mixture of 2-(2-bornyloxy)-ethyl-1-ethanols of our invention taken alone or taken further together with other perfume substances will continuously drop through the orifices 234 downwardly from the conduit 232. During this time, the temperature of the polymer intimately admixed with the perfumery substance in the container 212 is accurately controlled so that a temperature in the range of from about 240.degree.-250.degree. C., for example, (in the case of low density polyethylene) will exist in the conduit 232. The regulation of the temperature through the controls 216 and 220 is essential in order to insure temperature balance to provide for the continuous dripping or dropping of molten polymer intimately admixed with the perfume substance (containing the mixture of 2-(2-bornyloxy)-ethyl-1-ethanols of our invention and if desired, other materials compatible with the mixture of 2-(2-bornyloxy)-ethyl-1-ethanols of our invention) through the orifices 234 at a rate which will insure the formation of droplets 236 which will fall downwardly onto a moving conveyor belt 238 caused to run between conveyor wheels 240 and 242 beneath the conduit 232.
When the droplets 236 fall onto the conveyor 238, they form pellets 244 which harden almost instantaneously and fall off the end of the conveyor 238 into a container 245 which is advantageously filled with water or some other suitable cooling liquid in order to insure the rapid cooling of each of the pellets. The pellets 244 are then collected from the container 245 and utilized for the formation of other, for example, garbage bags which evolve a pleasant fragrance.
A feature of this aspect of the process of our invention is in the provision for moistening the conveyor belt 238 to insure rapid formation of the solid polymer, (e.g., polyolefin) scented pellets 244 without sticking to the belt. The belt 238 is advantageously of a material which will not normally stick to a melted plastic but the moistening means 248 insures a sufficiently cold temperature of the belt surface for the adequate formation of the pellets 244. The moistening means comprises a container 250 which is continuously fed with water 254 to maintain a level for moistening a sponge element 256 which bears against the exterior surface of the belt 238.
THE INVENTION
The present invention provides 2-(2-bornyloxy)-ethyl-1-ethanol mixtures defined according to the structure: ##STR33## which structure represents a mixture wherein in the mixture one of R.sub.1 or R.sub.2 is ethyl and the other of R.sub.1 or R.sub.2 is hydrogen. Such mixture is in fact a mixture of compounds having the structures: ##STR34## Such mixtures can be prepared by reacting camphene having the structure: ##STR35## with 1,2-dihydroxy butane having the structure: ##STR36## according to the reaction: ##STR37##
The resulting 2-(2-bornyloxy)-ethyl-1-ethanol mixtures produced according to the above-mentioned process is capable of augmenting or enhancing the aroma of consumable materials including but not limited to perfume compositions, colognes and perfumed articles (including but not limited to soaps, anionic, cationic, nonionic or zwitterionic detergents, fabric softener compositions, fabric softener articles, optical brightener compositions, perfumed polymers, hair preparations and the like) thus fulfilling a need in the field of perfumery as well as detergent, cologne, fabric softener and cosmetic manufacture.
The reaction, to wit: ##STR38## is carried out in the presence of a protonic acid catalyst or a Lewis acid catalyst.
Thus, when the reaction takes place in the presence of a catalyst which is a Lewis acid, for example, boron trifluoride etherate, zinc chloride, stannic chloride, diethyl aluminum chloride, ethyl dialuminum chloride or the like, the reaction temperature may range from about 60.degree. C. up to about 100.degree. C. and pressures in the range of from about one atmosphere up to about ten atmospheres. Preferably, the reaction when using a Lewis acid catalyst takes place at 70.degree.-80.degree. C. at atmospheric pressure. The reaction time may vary from about two hours up to about twenty hours depending upon the temperature of the reaction. Higher temperatures of reaction give rise to lower times of reaction and lower temperatures of reaction give rise to higher times of reaction but a better overall yield of the 2-(2-bornyloxy)-ethyl-1-ethanol mixtures. The mole ratio of 1,2-dihydroxybutane to camphene may vary from about 1:2 up to about 3:1 with a mole ratio of diol:camphene of about 2:1 being preferred. At the end of the reaction the reaction mass is neutralized and the reaction product which is a mixture of compounds having the structures: ##STR39## is purified for organoleptic uses by means of fractional distillation.
When using a protonic acid catalyst, such protonic acids as concentrated sulfuric acid (e.g., 92% aqueous sulfuric acid), concentrated phosphoric acid, paratoluene sulphonic acid and methane sulphonic acid as well as xylene sulphonic acid may be used. When the reaction, to wit: ##STR40## takes place in the presence of a protonic acid, the mole ratio of 1,2-dihydroxybutane: camphene may vary from about 3:1 down to about 1:1 with a preferred mole ratio of about 1.5:1 of 1,2-dihydroxybutane:camphene. The amount of protonic acid in the reaction mass based on moles camphene reactant may vary from about 0.5% up to about 3% of the camphene reactant with a preferred mole ratio of about 1% of the protonic acid, e.g., concentrated sulfuric acid. The reaction temperature may vary between about 120.degree. C. and about 160.degree. C. with a preferred reaction temperature of from about 135.degree. up to 150.degree. C. The reaction time may vary from about one hour up to about ten hours. Higher temperatures of reaction give rise to lower times of reaction and lower temperatures of reaction give rise to higher times of reaction but a better overall yield. At the end of the reaction, the reaction mass is neutralized and the reaction product defined according to the structure: ##STR41## wherein in the mixture one of R.sub.1 or R.sub.2 is ethyl and the other of R.sub.1 or R.sub.2 is hydrogen is purified for organoleptic uses by means of fractional distillation.
Attempts to carry out the production of the mixture of compounds defined according to the structure: ##STR42## by reacting 1,2-butane epoxide having the structure: ##STR43## with the compound having the structure: ##STR44## were unsuccessful as will be seen by reference to Example A, infra, according to the attempted reaction: ##STR45##
The 2-(2-bornyloxy)-ethyl-1-ethanol mixtures of our invention and one or more auxiliary perfume ingredients including, for example, alcohols other than those of our invention; aldehydes; ketones; terpenic hydrocarbons; nitriles; esters; lactones; ethers other than the either of our invention; natural essential oils; and synthetic essential oils may be admixed so that the combined odors of the individual components produce a pleasant and desired fragrance, particularly and preferably in the amber and musk area.
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 overall sensory effect of the perfume compositions will be at least the sum total of the effects of each of the ingredients. Thus, the 2- (2-bornyloxy) -ethyl-1-ethanol mixtures 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 the 2-(2-bornyloxy)-ethyl-1-ethanol mixtures of our invention which will be effective in perfume compositions as well as in perfumed articles (e.g., anionic, cationic, nonionic or zwitterionic solid or liquid detergents, soaps, fabric softener compositions, drier-added fabric softener articles, optical brightener compositions, perfumed polymers and textile sizing agents) 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 0.05% of the 2-(2-bornyloxy)-ethyl-1-ethanol mixtures of our invention prepared in accordance with the process set forth, supra, and less than 50% of the 2-(2-bornyloxy)-ethyl-1-ethanol mixtures of our invention or even less (e.g., 0.005%) can be used to impart, augment or enhance intense and substantive dry, ambery, woody, piney, musky and camphoraceous aromas with woody and ambery topnotes to soaps, cosmetics, solid or liquid anionic, cationic, nonionic or zwitterionic detergents, fabric softener compositions, fabric softener articles, optical brightener compositions, textile sizing compositions, perfumed polymers 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 2-(2-bornyloxy)-ethyl-1-ethanol mixtures of our invention is useful (taken alone or with other ingredients) in perfume compositions as (an) olfactory component(s) in detergents and soaps, space odorants and deodorants, perfumes, colognes, toilet water, bath preparations, such as creams, deodorants, hand lotions and sun screens; powders, such as talcs, dusting powders, face powders and perfumed polymers and articles of manufacture produced from said perfumed polymers, e.g., garbage bags, children's toys and the like. When used as (an) olfactory component(s) as little as 0.2% of the 2-(2-bornyloxy)-ethyl-1-ethanol mixtures of our invention will suffice to impart, augment or enhance intense, substantive, dry, ambery, woody, piney, musky and camphoraceous aromas with woody and ambery topnotes to amber and musky formulations. Generally, no more than 6% of the 2-(2-bornyloxy)-ethyl-1-ethanol mixtures of our invention based on the ultimate end product are required in the perfumed article composition. Accordingly, the range of the 2-(2-bornyloxy)-ethyl-1-ethanol mixtures of our invention in the perfumed article is from about 0.2% by weight of the 2-(2-bornyloxy)-ethyl- 1-ethanol mixtures up to about 6% by weight of the 2-(2-bornyloxy)-ethyl-1-ethanol mixtures based on the total weight of perfumed articles.
In addition, the perfume or fragrance composition of our invention can contain a vehicle for the 2-(2-bornyloxy)-ethyl-1-ethanol mixtures of our invention. The vehicle can be a liquid, such as a non-toxic alcohol, e.g., ethyl alcohol, a nontoxic glycol, e.g., propylene glycol or the like. The carrier can also be an absorbent solid, such as a gum (e.g., gum arabic or xanthan gum) or components for encapsulating the composition (such as gelatin as by coacervation or such as, urea formaldehyde prepolymer forming a capsule shell around a liquid perfume center.
Our invention also relates to the utilization of controlled release technology for the controlled release of perfumes into gaseous environments from polymers such as mixtures of epsilon polycaprolactone polymers and polyethylene according to the disclosure of U.S. Pat. No. 4,715,981 at columns 10, 11 and 12, the specification for which is incorporated by reference herein.
The following Example A serves to show that the process such as that set forth in Example I is critical and not all processes will work. The following Example I serves to provide a process for preparing the 2-(2-bornyloxy)-ethyl-1-ethanol mixtures of our invention. The examples following Example I are illustrative of the organoleptic utilities of the 2-(2-bornyloxy)-ethyl-1-ethanol mixtures of our invention.
All parts and percentages given herein are by weight unless otherwise specified.

Utilizing the procedure of Example I at column 15 of U.S. Pat. No. 3,632,396 (the specification for which is incorporated by reference herein), a non-woven cloth substrate useful as a drier-added fabric softening article of manufacture is prepared, wherein the substrate, the substrate coating and the outer coating and the perfuming material are as follows:
1. a water "dissolvable" paper ("Dissolvo Paper");
2. Adogen 448 (m.p. about 140.degree. F.) as the substrate coating; and
3. an outer coating having the following formulation (m.p. about 150.degree. F.):
57 percent--C.sub.20--22 HAPS
22 percent--isopropyl alcohol
20 percent--antistatic agent
1 percent--of one of the perfume substances of Table I of Example III, supra.
A fabric coating composition prepared as set forth above having the above aroma characteristics as set forth in Table I of Example III, supra, essentially consists of a substrate having a weight of about 3 grams per 100 square inches, a substrate coating of about 1.85 grams per 100 square inches of substrate and an outer coating of about 1.4 grams per 100 square inches of substrate, thereby providing a total aromatized substrate and outer coating weight ratio of about 1:1 by weight of substrate. The aroma set forth in Table I of Example III is imparted in a pleasant manner to the headspace in the dryer on operation thereof, using said drier-added fabric softening nonwoven fabric.
