The present invention relates to new chemical entities and the incorporation and use of the new chemical entities as fragrance materials.
There is an ongoing need in the fragrance industry to provide new chemicals to give perfumers and other persons the ability to create new fragrances for perfumes, colognes and personal care products. Those with skill in the art appreciate how differences in the chemical structure of the molecule can result in significant differences in the odor, notes and characteristics of a molecule. These variations and the ongoing need to discover and use the new chemicals in the development of new fragrances allow the perfumers to apply the new compounds in creating new fragrances.
The present invention provides novel compounds and their unexpected advantageous use in enhancing, improving or modifying the fragrance of perfumes, colognes, toilet water, fabric care products, personal products and the like.
More specifically, the present invention relates to pyrimidine derivatives represented by Formula I set forth below:
wherein m and n are integers of 0 or 1 with the proviso that when m is 0, n is 1 and when m is 1, n is 0; and
wherein the dashed circle represents either single or double bonds.
Another embodiment of the present invention relates to pyrimidine derivatives represented by Formula II set forth below:
wherein the dashed circle represents either single or double bonds.
Another embodiment of the present invention relates to a fragrance composition comprising the novel compounds provided above.
Another embodiment of the present invention relates to a fragrance product comprising the compounds provided above.
Another embodiment of the present invention relates to a method of improving, enhancing or modifying a fragrance formulation through the addition of an olfactory acceptable amount of the novel compounds provided above.
These and other embodiments of the present invention will be apparent by reading the following specification.
The compounds of the present invention may be represented by the following structures:
Those with the skill in the art will appreciate that
Formula III is 7,7,8,9,9-pentamethyl-8,9-dihydro-7H-cyclopenta[H]quinazoline;
Formula IV is 7,7,8,9,9-pentamethyl-6,6A,7,8,9,9A-hexahydro-5H-cyclopenta(F)quinazoline; and
Formula V is 6,6,7,8,8-pentamethyl-5A,6,7,8,8A,9-hexahydro-5H-cyclopenta(G)quinazoline.
Those with skill in the art will recognize that the compounds of the present invention contain chiral centers, thereby providing a number of isomers of the claimed compounds. It is intended herein that the compounds described herein include isomeric mixtures of such compounds, as well as those isomers that may be separated using techniques known to those having skill in the art. Suitable techniques include chromatography such as high performance liquid chromatography, referred to as HPLC, and particularly silica gel chromatography and gas chromatography trapping known as GC trapping. Yet, commercial products are mostly offered as isomeric mixtures.
The preparation of the compounds of the present invention is detailed in the Examples. Materials were purchased from Aldrich Chemical Company unless noted otherwise.
The use of the compounds of the present invention is widely applicable in current perfumery products, including the preparation of perfumes and colognes, the perfuming of personal care products such as soaps, shower gels, and hair care products, fabric care products, air fresheners, and cosmetic preparations. The present invention can also be used to perfume cleaning agents, such as, but not limited to detergents, dishwashing materials, scrubbing compositions, window cleaners and the like.
In these preparations, the compounds of the present invention can be used alone or in combination with other perfuming compositions, solvents, adjuvants and the like. The nature and variety of the other ingredients that can also be employed are known to those with skill in the art. Many types of fragrances can be employed in the present invention, the only limitation being the compatibility with the other components being employed. Suitable fragrances include but are not limited to fruits such as almond, apple, cherry, grape, pear, pineapple, orange, strawberry, raspberry; musk, flower scents such as lavender-like, rose-like, iris-like, carnation-like. Other pleasant scents include herbal and woodland scents derived from pine, spruce and other forest smells.
