The present invention relates to novel compounds having a 1,2,2-trimethylcyclopentan-1-yl moiety and their use as a fragrance or as flavor. The invention also relates to a method for imparting or modifying a scent or a flavor to a composition by including said compounds into such composition, to a fragrance containing composition and/or a fragrance material containing said compound and to a process for preparing these compounds.
Aroma chemicals, i.e. fragrances and flavors, are of great interest, especially in the field of cosmetics and also laundry and cleaning detergents. Fragrances of natural origin are mostly expensive, often limited in their available amount and, on account of fluctuations in environmental conditions, are also subject to variations in their content, purity etc. It is therefore of great interest to be able to replace, at least partially, fragrances of natural origin with synthetically obtainable substances. Often, in this connection, the natural substance is not replicated chemically, but chemically synthesized compounds are selected as substitutes for natural substances on account of their odor, where substitute and natural substance do not necessarily have to have a chemical-structural similarity.
However, since even small or simple changes in chemical structure, in particular the geometry or substitution pattern, may bring about massive changes in the sensory properties such as odor perception, both in terms of odor threshold and character, and also taste, the targeted search for substances with certain sensory properties such as a certain odor is extremely difficult—see C. S. Sell, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2006, 45, 6254-6261. The search for new fragrances and flavorings is therefore in most cases difficult and laborious without knowing whether a substance with the desired odor and/or taste will even actually be found.
Sandalwood oil is one of the most precious perfume ingredients, ever sought after due to its distinctive orientalic, sweet and woody note that it gives to perfume compositions. Since the natural source of the oil is very limited, synthetic alternatives are of great interest to the flavor and fragrance industry.
K. Schulze et al. Monatshefte für Chemie 120 (1989) 547-559 describe that compounds of formulae A and A′,
wherein Ra and Rb, independently of each other are hydrogen, methyl or ethyl, have a wood-like odor. The compounds A and A′ are prepared from campholenal (2,2,3-trimethylcyclopent-3-ene-1-acetaldehyde), which is not readily available and quite expensive.
where n is 1 or 2, X is H, CH2 or CH3, Rc, independently of each other represent hydrogen, one or two lower alkyl groups and where the dashed lines indicate a single bond or a double bond. The compounds are suggested to have a sandalwood-like scent. The compounds B require expensive starting materials, which are not readily available, such as campholenal or fencholenal (2,2,4-trimethylcyclopent-3-ene-1-acetaldehyde).
It is an object of the present invention to provide compounds, which have a pleasant odor, in particular a sandalwood-like odor, and thus are useful as novel fragrances or flavors. It should be possible to synthesize the compounds in large-scale from readily obtainable starting materials. The compounds should also be free from toxicological concerns and should in particular not contain organic halogen.
It was surprisingly found, that this objective is achieved by the compounds of the hereinafter defined formulae (Ia), (Ib) and (Ic).
Therefore, a first aspect of the present invention relates to compounds of general formulae (Ia), (Ib) and (Ic):
The invention also relates to the use of the compounds of the general formulae (Ia), (Ib) or (Ic), or a mixture of one or more of these compounds as a fragrance or flavor.
The invention also relates to a fragrance containing composition, which contains at least one compound of the general formulae (Ia), (Ib) or (Ic), or a mixture of one or more of these compounds as a fragrance or flavor and a carrier.
The invention also relates to a method of imparting or modifying a scent or a flavor to a composition, which method comprises incorporating at least one compound of the formulae Ia, Ib or Ic or a mixture of one or more of these compounds into a composition in such an amount that imparts or modifies the scent or flavor of the composition
The invention also relates to a process for preparing a compound of the formula Ia or Ib as defined herein:
The invention also relates to a process for preparing a compound of the formula (Ic) as defined herein, where R3b is H, which comprises subjecting the compound of the formulae (Ia) or (Ib) to a hydrogenation of the C═C double bond.
The invention also relates to a process for preparing a compound of the formula (Ic) as defined herein, where R3a and R3b together form CH2, which comprises providing a compound of the formula (Ia) and subjecting the compound of the formula (Ia) to a cyclopropanation of the C═C double bond.
In the following context, the terms alkyl, alkenyl and cycloalkyl are generic terms, which define a group of individual radicals. The prefix Cn-Cm defines the number of carbon atoms an individual radical of such groups may have.
In particular, the term C1-C4-alkyl defines a linear or branched saturated hydrocarbon radical, which has 1, 2, 3 or 4 carbon atoms, such as methyl ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, 2-butyl, 2-methylpropyl, and tert.-butyl (1,1-dimethylethyl).
In particular, the term C2-C4-alkenyl defines a linear or branched ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon radical, which has 2, 3 or 4 carbon atoms, such as ethenyl, 1-propenyl, propen-2-yl, buten-1-yl, buten-2-yl, buten-3-yl, 1-methylpropen-1-yl, 2-methylpropen-1-yl, 1-methylpropen-2-yl and 2-methylpropen-2-yl.
In particular, the term C3-C4-cycloalkyl defines a saturated, cyclic hydrocarbon radical, which has 3 or 4 carbon atoms, namely cyclopropyl, 1-methylcyclopropyl, 2-methylcyclopropyl or cyclobutyl.
In particular, the term C1-C4-alkoxy defines an oxygen bound linear or branched saturated radical, which has 1, 2, 3 or 4 carbon atoms, such as methoxy, ethoxy, n-propyloxy, isopropyloxy, n-butoxy, 2-butoxy, 2-methylpropyloxy, and tert.-butoxy (1,1-dimethylethoxy).
As pointed out above have an intensive and pleasant odor, in particular a sandalwood-like odor or scent, and thus are useful as novel fragrances or flavors.
Intensive odor impressions are to be understood as meaning those properties of aroma chemicals which permit a precise perception even in very low gas-space concentrations. The intensity can be ascertained via a threshold-value determination. A threshold value is the concentration of a substance in the relevant gas space at which an odor impression can just still be perceived by a representative test panel, although it no longer has to be defined. The substance class known as probably one of the most odor-intensive, i.e. those with very low threshold values, are thiols, whose threshold value is in the ppb/m3 range. It is the aim of the search for new aroma chemicals to find substances with the lowest possible threshold value in order to permit the lowest possible use concentration. The closer one comes to this target, the more one talks of “intensive” odor substances or aroma chemicals.
“Pleasant odors” or “Advantageous sensory properties” are hedonic expressions which describe the niceness and preciseness of an odor impression conveyed by an aroma chemical.
“Niceness” and “preciseness” are terms which are familiar to the person skilled in the art, a perfumer. Niceness generally refers to a spontaneously brought about, positively perceived, pleasant sensory impression. However, “nice” does not have to be synonymous with “sweet”. “Nice” can also describe the odor of musk or sandalwood. “Preciseness” generally refers to a spontaneously brought about sensory impression which—for the same test panel—brings about a reproducibly identical reminder of something specific.
For example, a substance can have an odor which is spontaneously reminiscent of that of an “apple”: the odor would then be precisely of “apple”. If this apple odor were very pleasant because the odor is reminiscent, for example, of a ripe and sweet apple, the odor would be termed “nice”. However, the odor of a typically tart apple can also be precise. If both reactions arise upon smelling the substance, in the example thus a nice and precise apple odor, then this substance has particularly advantageous sensory properties.
The compounds of the formulae (Ia) and (Ib) have a C═C carbon double bond. The double bond in (Ia) may have E- or Z-configuration with respect to the 1,2,2-trimethylcyclopenan-1-ylmethyl radical and the moiety X—R2. The invention relates to both the Z-stereoisomer of (Ia) and the E-stereoisomer of (Ia) and to mixtures of the E- and Z-stereoisomer of (Ia). Likewise, the double bond in (Ib) may have E- or Z-configuration with respect to the 1,2,2-trimethylcyclopenan-1-yl radical and the moiety C(R1R3)—X—R2. The invention relates to both the Z-stereoisomer of (Ib) and the E-stereoisomer of (Ib) and to mixtures of the E- and Z-stereoisomer of (Ib).
The compounds of the formulae (Ia), (Ib) and (Ic) have one or more centers of chirality. The present invention relates to pure stereoisomers, diastereomers and mixtures of stereoisomers or diastereoisomers. One center of chirality in formulae (Ia), (Ib) and (Ic) is the carbon atom in the 1-position of the 2,2-dimethyl-1-methylcyclopentyl moiety, which may have S or R configuration. If this carbon atom is the only center of chirality, the invention relates to racemic mixtures as well as to non-racemic mixtures and to the pure enantiomers.
In the compounds of formulae (Ia), (Ib) and (Ic), wherein X is C(R4)—OH, a further center of chirality may be the carbon atom, which carries the OH group, provided that R2 is different from R4. In case R2 is different from R4, the carbon atom carrying OH may have S or R configuration. In this case the compounds of formulae (Ia), (Ib) and (Ic) have at least two centers of chirality and these compounds may be present as 4 diastereomers, namely the RS-, SR-, RR- and SS-diastereomers. The present invention relates the pure diastereomers as well as to mixtures of these diastereomers.
In the compounds of formulae (Ib) and (Ic), a further center of chirality may be the carbon atom, which carries R1. In case R1 is different from R3a or R3a, respectively, the carbon atom carrying R1 may have S or R configuration. In this case the compounds of formulae (Ib) and (Ic) have at least two centers of chirality and these compounds may be present as 4 diastereomers, namely the RS-, SR-, RR- and SS-diastereomers. The present invention relates the pure diastereomers as well as to mixtures of these diastereomers.
In terms of the present invention, the term “pure enantiomer” has to be understood as a non-racemic mixture of a specific compound, where the desired enantiomer is present in an enantiomeric excess of >90% ee.
In terms of the present invention, the term “pure diastereomer” has to be understood as a mixture of the diastereomers of a specific compound, where the desired diastereomer is present in an amount of >90% based on the total amount of diastereomers of said compound.

It is apparent that the reaction of the compound of the formula (II) with the compound of the formula (IIIa) under conditions of an aldol condensation will result in a compound of the formula (Ia), where X is C═O, while the reaction of the compound of the formula (II) with the compound of the formula (IIIb) and said conditions will result in the compound of formula (Ib), in particular, if R1 is different from hydrogen. It is apparent that the variables R1, R2 and R3 in formulae (IIIa) and (IIIb), respectively correspond to R1, R2 and R3 in formulae (Ia) and (Ib), respectively.

Larock (Ed.), “Comprehensive Organic Transformations”, 2nd Edition, Wiley VCH, 1999, p. 1317, C. H. Heathcock in Modern Synthetic Methods (Ed. R. Scheffold), VHCA, Basel 1992, pp 1-102, Organikum, 21st edition, Wiley VCH 2001, pp. 518-526 and the literature cited therein.
The reaction of the compound of the formula (II) with the compound of formulae (IIIa) or (IIIb), may be carried out applying basic or acidic conditions. Preferably, the reaction of the compound of the formula (II) with the compound of formulae (IIIa) or (IIIb), respectively, is carried out in the presence of a base. The base will result in the formulation of the enolate of (IIIa) or (IIIb), respectively, which reacts with the aldehyde group of (II) followed by elimination of water.
The compound of formulae (IIIa) or (IIIb), respectively, may be used in stoichiometric amounts or in excess, based on the compound of formula (II). Preferably, the compound of formulae (IIIa) or (IIIb) are used in excess, based on the required stoichiometry, in order to achieve complete conversion of the compound of formula (II) and avoid its self-condensation. In particular the relative molar amount of the compound of formulae (IIIa) or (IIIb) to the compound of the formula (II) is from 1.1:1 to 20:1.
Suitable bases include but are not limited to alkalimetal hydrides, such as lithium, sodium or potassium hydride, alkalimetal alkanolates (sometimes termed alkalimetal alkoxides) such as sodium methoxide, potassium methoxide, sodium ethoxide, potassium ethoxide, sodium butoxide, potassium butoxide, sodium tert.butoxide or potassium tert.butoxide, alkalimetal hydroxides, such as lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, alkalimetal amides such as lithium diisopropylamide or tertiary amines, such as triethyl amine or N-methylpyrrolidin. Preferably, the base is selected from alkalimetal C1-C4-alkanolates and alkalimetal hydroxides, such as lithium hydroxide.
The base may be used in catalytic amounts, in stoichiometric amounts or in excess, with respect to the compound of the formulae (IIIa) or (IIIb), respectively. Preferably, the molar amount of base used in step ii) is less than the amount of the compound of formulae (IIIa) or (IIIb), respectively. In particular, the molar ratio of the base to the compound of formulae (IIIa) or (IIIb) used in step ii) is from 1:1.5 to 1:10.
Depending on the reactivity of the compound of formulae (IIIa) or (IIIb), respectively, the enolate of (IIIa) or (IIIb) may be formed in a preceding step followed by the reaction of the aldehyde of the formula (II) with the enolate of formulae (IIIa) or (IIIb). Frequently, the reaction of step ii) is performed by mixing compound of formula (II) with a compound of formulae (IIIa) or (IIIb), respectively, followed by the addition of a base.
The reaction of step ii) is preferably carried out in an organic solvent. Suitable solvents include but are not limited to alkanols, in particular to C1-C4-alkanols, such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol or tert.-butanol, ethers having from 3 to 8 carbon atoms, such as tetrahydrofurane, dioxane, diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, methyl tert. butylether and mixtures thereof. In a particular the reaction of step ii) is carried out in a C1-C4-alkanol or a mixture of C1-C4-alkanol in the presence of a base. In this embodiment, the base is preferably selected from alkalimetal C1-C4-alkanolates.
The compounds of the formulae (Ia) and (Ib), respectively, wherein X is C=O, can be converted to compounds of the formulae (Ia) and (Ib), respectively, wherein X is CH—OH, by selectively reducing the carbonyl group. Suitable methods for selective reduction of the carbonyl group to obtain an allyl alcohol are well known to a skilled person. The reduction of the carbonyl group may be achieved e.g. by reacting the compound of formulae (Ia) and (Ib), respectively, wherein X is C=O, with a boron hydride such as lithium, sodium or potassium tetrahydroborate or with an aluminum hydride such as lithium aluminum hydride. The reaction can be performed e.g. by analogy to the method described by S. Krishnamurthy et al. Org. Chem., 1977, 42(7), pp 1197-1201, J. C. Fuller et al. Tetrahedron Lett. 34, 1993, 257-260, B. Zeynidazeh et al. Bull. Korean Chem. Soc. 24 (3), 2003, 295-298. The reduction of the carbonyl group may also be achieved by reacting the compound of formulae (Ia) and (Ib), respectively, wherein X is C=O, with hydrogen in the presence of a transition metal catalyst, e.g. by analogy to the method described in EP 71787.
Alternatively, the compounds of the formulae (Ia) and (Ib), respectively, wherein X is C=O, can be converted into compounds of the formulae (Ia) and (Ib), respectively, wherein X is C(R4a)—OH, by reacting the carbonyl group of the respective compound of the formulae (Ia) or (Ib) with a metal organic reagent having a metal bound alkyl radical R4a, e.g. with metal organic compound R4aM, wherein R4a is C1-C4-alkyl, in particular methyl or ethyl, and M is a metal atom or a metal halide radical, e.g. a lithium atom or a magnesium halide radical, such as MgCl, MgBr or MgI. The reaction can be performed by analogy to well known processes of reacting carbonyl groups with metal organic compounds R4aM, such as under the conditions of a Grignard Reaction—see e.g. K. Nützel, et al. Methoden Org Chem (Houben Weyl) 1973, Vol. 13/2a, pp. 49-527; J. C. Stowell, Chem. Rev. 1984, 84, 409-435, H. M. Walborsky, Acc. Chem. Res. 1990, 23, 286-293, J. F. Garst, Acc. Chem. Res. 1991, 24, 95-97, A. Fürstner, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl. 1993, 32, 164-189 and the references cited therein,
The compounds of the formula (Ic), where R3b is hydrogen, can be prepared from compounds of the formulae (Ia) or (Ib) by subjecting the compound of the formulae (Ia) or (Ib) to a hydrogenation of the C═C double bond.
For example, the compounds of the formulae (Ia) and (Ib), respectively, wherein X is C═O, can be converted to compounds of the formulae (Ic), respectively, wherein X is C═O, by selectively hydrogenating the C═C double bound in (Ia) or (Ib), respectively. Suitable methods for selective hydrogenation of the C═C bond in unsaturated aldehydes and ketones without affecting the carbonyl group are well known, e.g. from P. Gallezot et al. in Catal. Rev.-Sci. Eng. 40 (1&2), (1998) pp. 81-126 and the literature cited therein; P. Claus, Topics in Catalysis 5, (1998), pp. 51-62 and the literature cited therein.
Moreover, the compounds of the formulae (Ia) and (Ib), respectively, where R3b is hydrogen and wherein X is C=O, can be converted to compounds of the formulae (Ic), respectively, wherein X is CH—OH, by hydrogenation of both the C═C double bond and the carbonyl group. The hydrogenation can be performed by analogy to the methods described in EP 1318131 or WO 2006/056435.
The compounds of the formula (Ic), where R3a together with R3b forms CH2, can be prepared from compounds of the formula (Ia) by subjecting the compound of the formula (Ia) to a cyclopropanation of the C═C double bond.
The cyclopropanation can be easily achieved by reacting the compound of formula (Ia) with diodomethane in the presence of reducing metal agent such as active zinc, e.g. by analogy to a “Simmons-Smith cyclopropanation (see H. E. Simmons, R. D. Smith, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1958, 80, 5323-5324, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1959, 81, 4256-4624, for review see also H. E. Simmons et al., Org. React. 1973, 20, 1-131; Charette, Organozinc Reagents 1999, 263-285; Denmark et al. Cycloaddition Reactions in Organic Synthesis 2002, 85-150, Lebel et al. Chem. Rev. 2003, 103, 997-1050). Active zinc may e.g. Zn—Cu or Zn—Ag but also cialkylzinc compounds, such as diethyl zinc (so called Furukawa modification: Furukawa et al, Tetrahedron Lett. 1966, 3353-3354). Instead of active zinc other reducing metals such as samarium or samarium-mercury amalgam may be used instead (Molander modification: Molander et al., J. Org. Chem. 1987, 52, 3942-3944.
