Mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Materials including mixtures of natural products which can provide, augment or enhance melony, cucumber, violet-like, green, leafy green, herbaceous, wormwood-like, floral, cinnamic, sandalwood-like, patchouli-like, vetiver-like, sweaty, animalic and spicy fragrance notes 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 vibrations in the natural products.
There is, accordingly, a continuing effort to find synthetic materials which will replace the essential fragrance notes provided by such 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 perfume compositions, perfumed articles or colognes using the same. The search for materials which can provide a more refined patchouli-like fragrance, for example, or a more refined floral fragrance, for example, or combination thereof ("floral/patchouli") has been difficult and relatively costly in the areas of both natural products and synthetic products.
In addition, 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 costs 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, and type and treatment of the raw materials. Such variations can be reflected in the end product 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, saugages, 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 is not completely known. This is noticeable in products which have orange flavors, mint flavors, peppermint flavors, and even artichoke-like flavors and corresponding aroma characteristics.
Thus, reproduction of sweet, aldehydic, floral, melony, herbaceous, green, and artichoke-like aroma and taste characteristics has been the subject of long and continuing searches by those engaged in the production of foodstuffs and beverages. The severe shortage of food in many parts of the world has given rise to the development of previously unused sources of protein which have heretofore been unpalatable. Accordingly, the need has arisen for the use of flavoring materials which will make such sources of protein palatable to human sensory organs.
The use of tricyclohydrocarbyl oxomethyl derivatives is known in the art of perfumery. Thus, U.S. Pat. No. 4,123,394 issued on Oct. 31, 1978 discloses specifically the compound having the structure: ##STR6## and generically the compound having the structure: ##STR7## wherein R.sub.8 ' is hydrogen, acyl, alkyl or alkenyl.
French Pat. No. 2,424,244 (corresponding to British Patent Application No. 2,019,841) discloses 8-exo-hydroxymethyl-endo-tricyclodecanes useful as perfumery agents in soaps, shampoos, cosmetics and waxes wherein the fragrances range from green, green grass-like, fruit-like to wood-like. The generic structure of the compounds disclosed in French Pat. No. 2,424,244 (assigned to the Kao Soap Company of Japan) is: ##STR8## wherein R is unsaturated C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 acyl or glycidyl and the esters are prepared from the compound wherein R is hydrogen by means of esterification with a carboxylic acid and a mineral acid catalyst and ethers are prepared from the compound wherein R equals H using a sodium hydride/alkyl iodide compound and the glycidyl ethers are prepared from allyl ethers by treatment with peracids.
A number of the aldehydes found to be useful in our invention are known in the prior art.
Thus, Japanese Pat. No. J76-011625 of April 1976 (assigned to Nado Research Institute Company) discloses a genus of compounds defined according to the structure: ##STR9## wherein R.sub.1 ""' represents hydrogen, alkyl, or one of the moieties: ##STR10## and R.sub.21 is hydrogen or alkyl; and wherein Y represents hydrogen, alkyl or one of the moieties: ##STR11## wherein R.sub.31 represents hydrogen or alkyl.
In addition, Japanese Pat. No. J75-135071 abstracted at Vol. 84, Chem. Abstracts 43466h discloses the compound having the structure: ##STR12## and Chem. Abstract Vol. 60, 4026g (1964) (Abstract of Compt. Rend. 257 (20) 2995-8 (1963) discloses the compound having the structure: ##STR13##
None of the references disclosing the foregoing tetracyclic carboxaldehydes discloses their utilization for augmenting or enhancing the aroma or taste of consumable materials.
In addition, nothing in the prior art discloses the other compounds of our invention or organoleptic utilities of any mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives.

THE INVENTION
It has now been determined that certain mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives are capable of imparting a variety of flavors and fragrances to various consumable materials.
Briefly, our invention contemplates augmenting or enhancing the flavors and/or fragrances of such consumable materials by adding thereto a small but effective amount of at least one such mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivative defined according to the generic structure: ##STR52## wherein the dashed line represents a carbon-carbon single bond or a carbon-carbon double bond; wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.1 ', R.sub.1 ", R.sub.1 '", R.sub.1 "", R.sub.3, R.sub.5, R.sub.5 ', R.sub.5 ", R.sub.5 '", R.sub.5 "" and R.sub.6 represent hydrogen or methyl with the provisos:
(i) at least four of R.sub.1, R.sub.1 ', R.sub.1 ", R.sub.1 '" and R.sub.1 "" are hydrogen and (ii) at least four of R.sub.5, R.sub.5 ', R.sub.5 ", R.sub.5 '" and R.sub.5 "" represent hydrogen; and wherein Z represents one of the moieties:
(i) carboxaldehyde having the structure: ##STR53## (ii) alkylene dioxy or dialkoxy methyl having the structure: ##STR54## (iii) hydroxymethyl having the structure: ##STR55## (iv) acetoxymethyl having the structure: ##STR56## and wherein R.sub.7 and R.sub.8 taken separately represent C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 lower alkyl or R.sub.7 and R.sub.8 taken together represent C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 alkylene; wherein the line represented by:
[++++]
is either a carbon-carbon single bond when R.sub.7 and R.sub.8 taken together are C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 alkylene or no bond at all when R.sub.7 and R.sub.8 taken separately represent C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 lower alkyl.
Also described are processes for preparing such mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives, and processes for using the above defined mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives for their organoleptic properties and compositions containing said mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives including perfumes, perfumed articles such as solid or liquid anionic, cationic, nonionic or zwitterionic detergents, perfumed polymers, fabric softeners and cosmetic powders; and foodstuffs, chewing gums, toothpastes, medicinal products, chewing tobaccos, smoking tobaccos and smoking tobacco articles; and flavoring compositions (e.g., for foodstuffs, chewing gums, chewing tobaccos, medicinal products, toothpastes and smoking tobaccos) and fragrance compositions (e.g., for perfume compositions and compositions for augmenting or enhancing the aroma of perfumed articles such as solid or liquid anionic, cationic, nonionic or zwitterionic detergents or fabric softeners or fabric softener articles or cosmetic powders or perfumed polymers) containing such mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives.
The mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives produced according to the processes of our invention which are used in practicing that part of our invention concerning flavoring and fragrance compositions are actually racemic mixtures rather than individual optical isomers such as is the case concerning isomers of patchouli alcohol which are obtained from patchouli oil.
The mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives of our invention insofar as their fragrance profiles are concerned have intense and long lasting melony, cucumber, violet-like, green, leafy, herbaceous, wormwood-like, floral, cinnamic, sandalwood-like, patchouli-like, vetiver-like, sweaty, animalic and spicy aromas. Insofar as their flavor uses are concerned (e.g., foodstuffs, chewing gums, medicinal products, chewing tobaccos and toothpastes) the mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives of our invention have sweet, aldehydic, floral, melony, herbaceous, green and artichoke-like aroma and taste profiles.
Insofar as smoking tobacco flavors are concerned the mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives of our invention have sweet, floral and green aroma profiles prior to smoking and sweet, floral and aramatic aroma and taste nuances on smoking both in the main stream and in the side stream.

The mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives produced according to the process of our invention which are used in practicing that part of our invention concerning flavor and fragrance compositions may be mixtures of isomers or they may be substantially pure forms of exo or endo isomers or specific stereoisomers such as in the case concerning isomers of patchouli alcohol which are obtained from patchouli oil.
The mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives prepared according to our invention can be obtained by reacting bicyclopentadiene or dimethyl bicyclopentadiene having the structures: ##STR64## with an acrolein derivative according to the reaction: ##STR65## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.1 ', R.sub.1 ", R.sub.1 '", R.sub.1 "", R.sub.3, R.sub.5, R.sub.5 ', R.sub.5 ", R.sub.5 '", and R.sub.5 "" are defined, supra. The reaction is carried out at pressures in the range of from about 150 psig up to about 500 psig and at temperatures in the range of from about 150.degree. C. up to about 250.degree. C. in the presence of or in the absence of an inert solvent. When the solvent is used it is preferred to use a solvent such as toluene or xylene which can easily be separated from the reaction mass after the completion of the reaction. The ratio of bicyclopentadiene derivative:acrolein derivative may vary from about 0.5:1 up to about 1:0.5 with the preferred mole ratio being about 1:1. The concentration of reactant in the reaction mass may vary from about 100 grams per liter up to about 500 grams per liter. At the end of the reaction the pressure vessel is opened and the contents are distilled preferably by means of fractional distillation. The reaction product can be used "as is" for its organoleptic properties or it may be further reacted as set forth, infra.
The mechanism for this reaction is as follows: ##STR66## followed by: ##STR67## followed by: ##STR68## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.1 ', R.sub.1 ", R.sub.1 '", and R.sub.1 "" and R.sub.3, R.sub.5, R.sub.5 ', R.sub.5 " R.sub.5 '", R.sub.5 "" and R.sub.6 are defined, supra.
The resulting aldehyde defined according to the structure: ##STR69## may then be reduced to form the corresponding saturated polycyclic carboxaldehydes or unsaturated polycyclic carboxaldehydes or saturated polycyclic carbinols or unsaturated polycyclic carbinols or the resulting aldehyde may be then reacted with an alkanol or alkanediol to form polycyclic carbinyl acetals, or cyclic acetals. In turn, the resulting carbinols may be acylated as with acetic anhydride or acetyl chloride or acetyl bromide to form the corresponding saturated polycyclic carbinol acetates or unsaturated polycyclic carbinol acetates.
Thus, when reacting the aldehyde derivative defined according to the genus having the structure: ##STR70## with one mole of hydrogen per mole of aldehyde at a pressure in the range of from about 50 psig up to about 200 psig and in the presence of a catalyst such as palladium supported on carbon, palladium supported on barium sulfate, palladium supported on calcium sulfate or palladium supported on calcium carbonate (for example: 5% palladium supported on calcium sulfate, 5% palladium supported on calcium carbonate or 10% palladium on carbon) at a temperature in the range of from about 10.degree. C. up to 140.degree. C., the aldehyde will be reduced to the saturated polycyclic carboxaldehyde according to the reaction: ##STR71##
On the other hand when two moles of hydrogen are used per mole of aldehyde, the reduction is such that a saturated polycyclic carbinol is formed according to the reaction: ##STR72##
The aldehyde genus defined according to the structure: ##STR73## may be reduced with an alkali metal borohydride or lithium aluminum hydride in the presence of an inert solvent to form the unsaturated polycyclic carbinol according to the reaction: ##STR74## wherein M represents alkali metal such as lithium, sodium or potassium.
The reaction is carried out in the presence of an inert solvent such as isopropyl alcohol, n-propyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol or methyl alcohol or diethyl ether or tetrahydrofuran. The reaction is carried out at a temperature in the range of from about 20.degree. C. up to reflux conditions (depending upon the solvent used) and is most conveniently and preferably carried out at atmospheric pressures since higher pressures do not give rise to higher yields or higher conversions. The mole ratio of alkali metal borohydride:aldehyde reactant or lithium aluminum hydride:aldehyde reactant may vary from about 0.2:1 up to about 1:1 with a preferred mole ratio of 0.25:1 up to 0.5:1.
Both the saturated and unsaturated polycyclic carbinols defined according to the structures: ##STR75## may be further reacted as by acetylation using acetic anhydride or acetyl chloride. The reaction with acetic anhydride is preferably carried out in the presence of an inert solvent at reflux conditions at atmospheric pressure. Such an inert solvent is toluene or xylene, the solvents being inert and having boiling points such that the reaction may proceed efficiently and in a minimum amount of time. Preferably the mole ratio of acetic anhydride:carbinol reactant is from about 0.5:1.5 up to about 1.5:0.5 with a most preferred ratio of acetic anhydride:carbinol reactant being 1-1.5:1. Each of these reactions is set forth as follows: ##STR76##
In addition, the aldehyde derivatives defined according to the structure: ##STR77## may be converted into cyclic or acyclic acetals by means of reaction of the aldehyde with a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkanol or a C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 alkanediol according to the reaction: ##STR78## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.1 ', R.sub.1 ", R.sub.1 '", R.sub.1 "", R.sub.3, R.sub.5, R.sub.5 ', R.sub.5 ", R.sub.5 '", R.sub.5 "", R.sub.6, R.sub.7, R.sub.8 and the line [++++] are defined, supra.
The reaction is carried out in the presence of a protonic acid catalyst or a Lewis acid catalyst at a temperature in the range of from about 30.degree. C. up to about 90.degree. C. Preferred catalysts are boron trifluoride etherate, 20% sulfuric acid, saturated aqueous, ammonium chloride and stannic chloride.
The preferred mole ratio of alkane diol:aldehyde reactant may vary from about 1:1 up to aboue 2:1 and the preferred mole ratio of alkylenediol:aldehyde reactant may vary from about 2:1 up to about 4:1.
At the end of each of the foregoing reactions the reaction product may, if desired, be separated from the resultant reaction mass by fractional distillation or preparative GLC (vapor phase, chromotography). However, if the desired reaction product is to be utilized as a reaction intermediate, the necessity of careful rectification of the reaction product in order to achieve odor acceptable substances or flavor acceptable substances is not usually necessary since the resultant reaction product will be further reacted.
Thus, the individual mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives of our invention can be obtained in pure form or in substantially pure form by conventional purification techniques. The products can be purified and/or isolated not only by distillation (as mentioned, supra), but also using extraction, crystallization, preparative chromatographic techniques and the like. It has been found desirable to purify the mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives of our invention by fractional distillation in vacuo.
When the mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives of our invention are used as food flavor adjuvants, the nature of the co-ingredients included with said mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene 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 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 mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene 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, stablizers, thickeners, surface active agents, conditioners, other flavorants and flavor intensifiers.

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 mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives of our invention by not covering or spoiling the organoleptic properties (aroma and/or taste thereof); (ii) be non-reactive with the mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives of our invention; and (iii) be capable of providing an environment in which the mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives of our invention 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 mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivative(s) of our invention 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 (e.g., with a peppermint flavor, or a specific vegetable flavor such as an artichoke flavor) is relatively bland to the taste, whereas relatively minor quantities may suffice for purposes of enhancing a composition merely deficient in natural flavor or aroma. The primary requirement is that the amount selected 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, of flavoring composition.
The use of insufficient quantities of mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives of our invention 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 mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives of our invention ranging from a small but effective amount, e.g., 0.00001 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 provide commensurate enhancement of organoleptic properties. In those instances wherein the mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives of our invention 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 mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivative concentration in the foodstuff product.
Food flavoring compositions prepared in accordance with the present invention preferably contain the mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives of our invention 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 dispersion, etc. Alternatively, flavoring compositions in the form of particulate solids can be conveniently prepared by mixing the mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives of our invention with, for example, gum arabic, gum tragacanth, carrageenan, xanthangum, guargum, mixtures of same and the like, and thereafter spray-drying the resultant mixture whereby to obtain the particular solid product. 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 one or more mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives of our invention in a dry blender until the requisite degree of uniformity is achieved.

The mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives of our invention can be used to contribute melony, cucumber, violet-like, green, leafy, herbaceous, wormwood-like, floral, cinnamic, sandalwood-like, patchouli-like, vetiver-like, sweaty, animalic and spicy aroma nuances to perfume compositions, perfumed articles (such as solid or liquid anionic, cationic, nonionic or zwetterionic detergents, fabric softeners, fabric softener articles and perfumed polymers) and colognes. As olfactory agents the mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives of our invention can be formulated into or used as components of a "perfume composition".
The term "perfume composition" is used herein to mean a mixture of organic compounds including, for example, alcohols (other than the alcohols of our invention), aldehydes (other than the aldehydes of our invention), ketones, nitriles, ethers, lactones, acetals (other than the acetals of our invention), esters (other than the esters of our invention), and frequently hydrocarbons which are admixed so that the combined odors of the individual components produce a pleasant or desired fragrance. 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) top-notes which are usually low-boiling, fresh-smelling materials.
In perfume compositions the individual component will contribute its particular olfactory characteristics, but the overall effect of the perfume composition will be the sum of the effects of each ingredient. Thus, the individual compounds of this invention, or mixtures thereof, can be used to alter the aroma characteristics of a perfume composition, for example, by highlighting or moderating the olfactory reaction contributed by another ingredient in the composition.
The amount of the mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives of our invention which will be effective in perfume compositions 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 0.2% of one or more of the mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives of our invention, or even less, can be used to impart melony, cucumber-like, violet-like, green, leafy, herbaceous, wormwood-like, floral, cinnamic, sandalwood-like, patchouli-like, vetiver-like, sweaty, animalic, and spicy aroma nuances to soaps, cosmetics, solid or liquid anionic, cationic, nonionic, or zwitterionic detergents, fabric softeners, fabric softener articles, perfumed polymers, cosmetic powders, hair preparations and other products. The amount employed can range up to 50% or higher and will depend on considerations of cost, nature of the end product, the effect desired on the finished product and a particular fragrance sought.
The mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives of our invention can be used alone or in a perfume composition as an olfactory component in solid or liquid anionic, cationic, nonionic or zwitterionic detergents, fabric softeners, and soaps; space odorants and deodorants; perfumes; colognes, toilet waters; bath salts; 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 powder and the like. When used as an olfactory component of a perfumed article, as little as 0.005% of one or more of the mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives of our invention will suffice to impart an interesting melony, cucumber, violet-like, green, leafy, herbaceous, wormwood-like, floral, cinnamic, sandalwood-like, patchouli-like, vetiver-like, sweaty, animalic and spicy aromas. Generally, no more than 0.8% is required in the perfumed article. Thus, to be specific, the range of mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives of our invention useful in perfumed articles varies from about 0.005% up to about 0.8%.
In addition, the perfume composition of our invention can contain a vehicle or carrier for the mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives of our invention. The vehicle can be a liquid such as an alcohol such as ethanol, a glycol such as propylene glycol, or the like. The carrier can be an absorbent solid such as a gum or components for encapsulating the composition by coacervation such as gelatin or for encapsulating the composition by forming polymers around a central liquid core such as a urea formaldehyde capsule.
It is the further object of our invention to provide a smoking tobacco product treated with an additive which will enhance the tobacco aroma, as well as the flavor characteristics of the tobacco product made therefrom. Also, it is an object of the present invention to provide a smoking tobacco product having a material added to the tobacco which will readily transfer to the tobacco smoke and pass through a filter element (even of a high filtration type) so that the natural flavor qualities of the tobacco smoke are enhanced.
Another object of our invention is the provision of smoking tobacco products, such as cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco, or tobacco smoke filters, having added thereto a releasable flavor additive which will impart a desirable fresh natural taste to the smoking product when smoked.
Thus, in general, our invention further contemplates providing an organoleptically improved tobacco product having added thereto one or more mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives of our invention which imparts to the product the enhanced and desirable fresh flavor and aroma of natural tobacco. The mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives of our invention are individually and in combination readily transferred either from the filter section or the tobacco section into the smoke stream when the tobacco product is smoked. The organoleptic qualities of the mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives of our invention particularly when transferred to the tobacco smoke, impart desirable fresh, oriental, spicy, floral, citrusy flavor and aroma nuances to tobacco causing the tobacco to be more desirable and causing a change from the "Virginia" and "Burley" types to the "imported", "Turkish" types.
The mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene of our invention employed to improve the organoleptic qualities of a tobacco product have odor characteristics which can be described as floral, spicy, woody, and cinnamon-like as well as citrusy. The amount of mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives of our invention taken alone or in combination added to a tobacco product may vary greatly; however a sufficient amount should be used to achieve the desired organoleptic properties for the smoking tobacco product when smoked. We have found that the levels of the mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives of our invention (taken alone or in combination) added to a tobacco product, either to the filter or to the tobacco section, may be as low as 0.001% based on the weight of the tobacco. The amount of the mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives added to the tobacco product may be from about 0.001% up to about 0.1% based on the weight of the tobacco, preferably from about 0.005% up to about 0.05%, and more preferably from about 0.01% up to about 0.015%.
The mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives of our invention may be incorporated at any step into the treatment of the tobacco but it is preferred that they be added either separately or in admixture after the tobacco has been cured, aged and shredded and just prior to the manufacture of the desired tobacco product, for example, cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco, or other smoking products. Also, it may be added to tobacco smoke filter material prior to forming the filter rod. The additive is conveniently dissolved in a solvent, such as ethyl alcohol, and applied to the tobacco by spraying, dipping or other methods of application generally employed for treating tobacco. Also, it may be sprayed onto the filter material. Although solutions of this compound are preferred, suspensions thereof may be utilized. Other suitable solvents are, for example, acetone, diethyl ether, n-hexane, or the like. After treatment of the tobacco or the filter with at least one of the mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives of our invention, substantially all of the solvent is evaporated therefrom prior to its manufacture into tobacco products.
The term "tobacco" will be understood herein to mean the natural products such as, for example, Burley, Turkish tobacco, Maryland tobacco, flue-cured tobacco and the like including tobacco-like or tobacco-based products such as reconstituted or homogenized leaf and the like, as well as tobacco substitutes intended to replace natural tobacco, such as lettuce and cabbage leaves and the like. The tobaccos and tobacco products in which the mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives of our invention are useful include those designed or used for smoking such as in cigarette, cigar and pipe tobacco, as well as products such as snuff, chewing tobacco, and the like.
The following examples I-X are given to illustrate methods for producing the mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives of our invention. The examples following Example X are given to illustrate embodiments of the utilization of the mono-oxomethyl substituted polyhydrodimethanonaphthalene derivatives of our invention. It will be understood that these examples are illustrative and that the invention is not to be considered as restrictive to these examples except as indicated in the appended claims.
