Musk is an important fragrance material that can be used widely, but is strongly animalic because it is an animal fragrance. Fresh fragrance notes with a feeling of cleanliness are preferred especially for toiletry products. In order to increase the degree of freedom in perfume blending, a fragrance composition with a mild musk fragrance note that is less animalic and that can easily be harmonized with other fragrance notes in a formulated fragrance has been demanded.
Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a musk-like composition that is excellent in harmony with various other fragrances and that can create a distinctive fragrance effect when blended.
The present invention relates to a composition including a compound represented by General Formula (I), wherein a ratio of an E-isomer of the compound represented by General Formula (I) to a Z-isomer of the compound represented by General Formula (I) is E-isomer/Z-isomer=3/7 or more and 7/3 or less.
The composition of the present invention is advantageous in that it is excellent in harmony with various other fragrances and can create a distinctive fragrance effect when blended.
In the compound represented by General Formula (I) of the present invention, the ratio of the E-isomer to the Z-isomer is E-isomer/Z-isomer=3/7 or more and 7/3 or less, preferably 4/6 or more and 7/3 or less, more preferably 5/5 or more and 7/3 or less, and further preferably more than 5/5 and 7/3 or less, from the viewpoint of achieving excellent harmony with various other fragrances and creating a distinctive fragrance effect when blended.
The composition of the present invention including the compound represented by General Formula (I) can be obtained, for example, by blending the E-isomer and the Z-isomer of the compound represented by General Formula (I) (hereinafter, also referred to as a “compound of General Formula (I)” or “compound (I)”), in the ratio of the E-isomer to the Z-isomer of E-isomer/Z-isomer=3/7 or more and 7/3 or less.
The E-isomer of the compound of General Formula (I) can be obtained by a conventionally known method. An exemplary method thereof is described in Facile synthesis of (E)-7-hexadecen-1,16-olide, J. In. Chem. Soc., Vol. 83, 1179-1180, 2006.
The Z-isomer of the compound of General Formula (I) can be obtained, for example, through ring-closing metathesis reaction of 9-decenyl-7-octenoate using a Z selective catalyst (Highly Active Ruthenium Metathesis Catalysts Exhibiting Unprecedented Activity and Z-Selectivity, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 135, 1276-1279, 2013).
The composition of the present invention preferably contains a fragrance other than the compound represented by General Formula (I).

The composition of the present invention includes the compound represented by General Formula (I), and the ratio of the E-isomer of the compound represented by General Formula (I) to the Z-isomer of the compound represented by General Formula (I) is E-isomer/Z-isomer=3/7 or more and 7/3 or less. By doing so, the composition can achieve excellent harmony with various other fragrances and create a distinctive fragrance effect when blended. Moreover, the composition of the present invention can contain, as fragrances other than the compound (I), other fragrance components in common use or formulated fragrances with a desired composition. The presence of the fragrance other than the compound (I) can provide the composition of the present invention with aromas of, e.g., a floral tone, a bouquet tone, a hyacinth tone, a geranium tone, a rose tone, a bergamot tone, an orchid tone, and a lily of the valley tone (muguet).

Details of the measurement methods employed in the following examples and comparative examples are described together below.
[Identification of Compound]
Each compound obtained in the following production example was identified by matching data obtained by spectrum analyses using 1H-NMR and a gas chromatograph mass spectrometer (GC-MS) (model: GC-2010, manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation), with compound data disclosed by a known document or the like.
[Odor Evaluation]
Two experts who had an experience of perfume blending and fragrance evaluation determined the fragrance note and the intensity by a smelling strip method. In the evaluation, the tip of a smelling strip (fragrance test paper with a width of 6 mm and a length of 150 mm) was immersed about 5 mm in a sample.
With respect to the odor, fragrances that were sensed secondarily (secondary odors) were noted. In the evaluation of formulated fragrances, a fragrance not containing the composition of the present invention was used as a blank to evaluate the change in the fragrance note from the blank.
The E-isomer and the Z-isomer of the compound (I) used in the examples were produced in accordance with the production examples described below.
Here, the E-isomer of the compound (1) is (E)-oxacycloheptadec-8-en-2-one, and the Z-isomer of the compound (I) is (Z)-oxacycloheptadec-8-en-2-one.
Synthetic method of a mixture containing oxacycloheptadec-8-en-2-one having an E-isomer/Z-isomer ratio of 91/9
(a) Production of 9-decenyl-7-octenoate
In a flask, 9-decen-1-ol (manufactured by TOKYO CHEMICAL INDUSTRY CO., LTD., 2.2 g, 14.0 mmol) and 7-octenoic acid (manufactured by SIGMA-ALDRICH, 2.0 g, 1.4.0 mmol) were placed and then dissolved in dichloromethane (30 mL). Subsequently, 1-ethyl-3(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (3.2 g, 16.8 mmol) and N,N′-dimethylaminopyridine (171 mg, 1.4 mmol) were added to the flask. This was allowed to react under a nitrogen gas stream at room temperature for three hours. An ammonium chloride aqueous solution was added to the reaction solution obtained after the reaction was completed, which then was stirred. Thereafter, it was subjected to settled separation to extract an aqueous layer, and an oil layer was washed with saturated saline. Then sodium sulfate was added to the oil layer to dehydrate to dryness. After filtration thereof, dichloromethane was evaporated from the oil layer to obtain 9-decenyl-7-octenoate (3.9 g, 14.0 mmol) in a crude yield of 100%.
(b) Production of (E)-oxacycloheptadec-8-en-2-one
In a three-necked flask, 9-decenyl-7-octenoate (3.3 g, 11.8 mmol) obtained in the above process (a), dichloromethane (3 L), and a metathesis catalyst represented by formula below (trade name “Umicore M2” manufactured by Umicore Japan KK, 194 mg, 0.21 mmol) were placed and then heated to reflux (50° C.) under a nitrogen gas stream for 24 hours. Then 130 mg (0.14 mmol) of the metathesis catalyst represented by formula below was further added thereto, and stirring was continued for five hours. The reaction solution obtained after the reaction was completed was subjected to gas chromatography quantitative analysis and found to contain 2.0 g of oxacycloheptadec-8-en-2-one (E/Z=70/30, 7.9 mmol, yield 67%).
Dichloromethane was evaporated from the reaction solution and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: n-hexane:ethyl acetate=95:5). Thus, 0.3 g of (E)-oxacycloheptadec-8-en-2-one (E/Z 91/9) was obtained.
Synthetic Method of a Mixture Containing oxacycloheptadec-8-en-2-one Having an E-isomer/Z-isomer Ratio of 2/98

Then 100 mg (0.16 mmol) of the metathesis catalyst represented by formula below was further added thereto, and stirring was continued for 24 hours. The reaction solution obtained after the reaction was completed was subjected to gas chromatography quantitative analysis and found to contain 0.4 g of (Z)-oxacycloheptadec-8-en-2-one (E/Z=2/98, 1.6 mmol, yield 49%).
Dichloromethane was evaporated from the reaction solution and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: n-hexane:ethyl acetate=99:1). Thus, 0.3 g of (Z)-oxacycloheptadec-8-en-2-one (E/Z=2/98) was obtained.
