Perfume uses of phenyl alkanol derivatives

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The instant invention relates to phenyl alkanol derivatives defined according to the structure: ##STR2## wherein R.sub.1 is methyl or ethyl and R.sub.2 is hydrogen or acetyl with the proviso that when R.sub.2 is hydrogen, R.sub.1 is ethyl and when R.sub.2 is acetyl, R.sub.1 is methyl and uses of same in augmenting, enhancing or imparting an aroma in or to perfume compositions, perfumed articles and colognes.
Inexpensive chemical compounds which are substantive and long-lasting and which can provide strong, persistent herbal, fruity, rose, ozoney, lilac, woody, mimosa, hyacinth, anise, jasmine and honey aromas with sweet, animalic, civet and fresh cut wood undertones are highly desirable in the art of perfumery. Many of the natural materials which provide such fragrances and contribute such desired nuances to perfume compositions as well as perfumed articles are high in cost, unobtainable at times, vary in quality from one batch to another and/or are generally subject to the usual variations of natural products.
There is, accordingly, a continuous effort to find synthetic materials which will replace, enhance or augment the fragrance notes provided by natural essential oils or compositions thereof. Unfortunately, many of the synthetic materials either have the desired nuances only to a relatively small degree or they contribute undesirable or unwanted odor to the compositions.
Of particular importance are odorants of the muguet type in perfumery as well as the "woody cologne" type in perfumery.
Phenyl alkanols are well known in the art of perfumery. Thus, Arctander "Perfume and Flavor Chemicals" (Aroma Chemicals), Volume I at Monographs 192, 193, 990, 989 and 991 discloses, respectively, the compounds having the structures: ##STR3## for use in perfumery. Furthermore, Arctander "Perfume and Flavor Chemicals" (Aroma Chemicals), Volume II discloses at Monographs 2512, 2502, 2503, 2520, 2521, 2589 and 2588, respectively, the compounds having the structures: ##STR4## for use in perfumery.
Furthermore, Winter, et al, U.S. Pat. No. 3,952,024 issued on Apr. 20, 1976 (Title: "Furfurylthioacetone") indicates at column 15, line 48 that the compound having the structure: ##STR5## is useful as a food flavor.
Nothing in the prior art, however, infers or discloses the unexpected, unobvious and advantageous fragrance utilities of the compounds having the structures: ##STR6## otherwise defined using the generic structure: ##STR7## wherein R.sub.2 is hydrogen or acetyl and R.sub.1 is methyl or ethyl with the proviso that when R.sub.2 is hydrogen, R.sub.1 is ethyl and when R.sub.2 is acetyl, R.sub.1 is methyl.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
FIG. 1 is the GLC profile for the reaction product of Example I(A) containing the compound having the structure: ##STR13## (conditions: SE-30 column programmed at 160.degree. C. isothermal). The peak indicated by reference numeral 10 is the peak for the compound having the structure: ##STR14##
FIG. 2 is the GLC profile for the reaction product of Example I(B) (conditions: SE-30 column programmed at 160.degree. C. isothermal). The peak indicated by reference numeral 20 is the peak for the compound having the structure: ##STR15##
Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, the apparatus used in producing polymeric fragrances containing one or more of the phenyl alkanol derivatives of our invention comprises a device for forming scented polyolefin (for example) pellets, which comprises a vat or container 212 into which a mixture of polyolefin such as polyethylene and an aromatic substance or scented material is placed (in this case at least one of the phenyl alkanol derivatives of our invention).
The container is closed by an air-tight lid 228 and the air-tight lid 228 is clamped to the container 212 by bolts 265.
A stirrer 273 traverses the lid or cover 228 in an air-tight manner and is rotated in a suitable manner.
Container 212 having heating coils 212A which are supplied with electric current through cable 224 from a rheostat or control 216 is operated to maintain a temperature inside the container 212 such that polyethylene or other thermoplastic polymer in the container will be maintained in the molten or liquid state. It has been found advantageous to employ a colorless, odorless polymer (e.g., polyethylene) with a viscosity ranging between 180 and 220 saybolt seconds and having a melting point in the range of 200.degree.-280.degree. F. The heater 212A is operated to maintain the upper portion of the container 212 within a temperature range of from 250.degree.-350.degree. F. The bottom portion of the container is heated by means of heating coils 212A heated through control 220 connected thereto through a connecting wire 222 to maintain the lower portion of the container within a temperature range of from 250.degree.-350.degree. F.
Thus, polymer (e.g., polyethylene) is added to container 212 and is heated from 10-12 hours whereafter a scented aroma imparting material (at least one of the phenyl alkanol derivatives of our invention) is added quickly to the melt. The material must be compatible with the polyolefin and forms a homogeneous liquid melt therewith. The scented material is of a type for the particular aroma desired and formulated specifically for the scenting purpose for which the polyolefin will be employed.
Generally, about 5-30% by weight of the scented material (containing at least one of the phenyl alkanol derivatives of our invention) are added to the polyolefin.
After the scent imparting material (e.g., a composition containing at least one of the phenyl alkanol derivatives of our invention) is added to the container 212, the mixture is stirred for a few minutes, for example, 5-15 minutes, and maintained within the temperature range as indicated, supra, by means of heating coils 212A.
The controls 216 and 220 are connected, respectively, through cables 214 and 222, respectively, to heating coils 212A. The said controls 216 and 220 are also connected through cables 224 and 226, respectively, to a suitable power supply of electric current for supplying the electric power to the heating coils 212A for heating purposes.
Thereafter, the valve "V" is opened permitting the mass to flow outwardly through conduit 218/232 having a multiplicity of orifices 234, adjacent to the lower side thereof. The outer end of the conduit 218/232 is closed so that the liquid polymer (e.g., polyolefin) and aroma imparting material (e.g., a mixture containing at least one of the phenyl alkanol derivatives of our invention) will continuously drop through orifices 234 downwardly from conduit 232. During this time, the temperature of the polymer (e.g., polyolefin) and aroma imparting material (e.g., a mixture containing at least one of the phenyl alkanol derivatives of our invention) is accurately controlled so that a temperature in the range of from about 210.degree.-275.degree. F. will exist in the conduit 218/232. The regulation of the temperature through the controls 216 and 220 is essential in order to insure temperature balance to provide for the continuous dropping or dripping of molten polymer (e.g., polyethylene) and scenting material (e.g., one or more of the phenyl alkanol derivatives of our invention) mixture 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 and utilized in processes as illustrated, infra.
A feature of this aspect of the process of our invention is the provision for moistening the conveyor belt 238 to insure rapid formation of the solid polymeric (e.g., polyolefin) scented pellets 244 without sticking to the belt. The belt 238 is advantageously fabricated of a material which will not normally stick to a melted plastic but a moistening means 248 insures a sufficiently cold temperature of the belt surface for an adequate formation of the pellets 244. The adequate 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 of the belt 238.
THE INVENTION
The present invention provides phenyl alkanol derivatives defined according to the generic structure: ##STR16## wherein R.sub.2 is hydrogen or acetyl and R.sub.1 is methyl or ethyl with the proviso that when R.sub.2 is hydrogen, R.sub.1 is ethyl and when R.sub.2 is acetyl, R.sub.1 is methyl as well as processes for utilizing such phenyl alkanol derivatives in perfumery.
The compositions of matter of our invention produced according to the processes disclosed in the instant specification are capable of augmenting, enhancing or providing strong, persistent, herbal, fruity, rose, ozoney, lilac, woody, mimosa, hyacinth, anise, jasmine and honey aromas with sweet, animalic, civet and fresh cut wood undertones to perfume compositions, colognes and perfumed articles (e.g., solid or liquid, anionic, cationic, nonionic or zwitterionic detergents, fabric softener articles, drier-added fabric softener articles, fabric softener compositions, cosmetic powders, hair preparations, perfumed polymers and the like).
The phenyl alkanol derivatives of our invention are known in the prior art, but their perfumery uses are not disclosed or inferred. The phenyl alkanol derivatives of our invention may be prepared by any one of a number of processes. Thus, a first process concerns reacting a benzyl Grignard reagent having the structure: ##STR17## with an aldehyde having the structure: ##STR18## wherein R.sub.1 is defined, supra, according to the reaction: ##STR19## followed by a hydrolysis reaction: ##STR20## Alternatively, a benzyl Grignard reagent may be reacted with an epoxide defined according to the structure: ##STR21## according to the reaction: ##STR22## followed by the hydrolysis reaction: ##STR23##
A third reaction sequence concerns reacting styrene oxide having the structure: ##STR24## with a Grignard reagent according to the reaction: ##STR25## followed by the hydrolysis reaction: ##STR26##
A fourth reaction sequence involves reacting phenyl acid aldehyde having the structure: ##STR27## with the Grignard reagent having the structure: ##STR28## according to the reaction: ##STR29## followed by the hydrolysis reaction: ##STR30##
In the case of producing the ester, the resulting phenyl alkanol may then be reacted with an esterification reagent such as acetic anhydride according the reaction: ##STR31##
The conditions for each of the foregoing reactions are set forth in the prior art.
In each of the foregoing reaction sequences, X represents chloro or bromo.
Table I below sets forth the phenyl alkanol derivatives of our invention and their fragrance properties:

One or more of the phenyl alkanol derivatives of our invention prepared in accordance with the processes set forth, supra, and one or more auxiliary perfume ingredients including, for example, alcohols other than the phenyl alkanols of our invention, aldehydes, ketones, terpenic hydrocarbons, nitriles, esters other than the ester of our invention, lactones, ethers, 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 woody cologne and muguet fragrances. Such compositions usually contain:
(a) the main note or the "bouquet" or foundation stone of the invention;
(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 their particular olfactory characteristics, however, the overall sensory effect of the perfume composition will be at least the sum total of the effects of each of the ingredients. Thus, the phenyl alkanol derivatives of our invention can be used to alter, modify or enhance the aroma characteristic of a perfume composition, for example, by utilizing or moderating the olfactory reaction contributed by another ingredient in the composition.
The amount of one or more of the phenyl alkanol derivatives of our invention which will be effective in perfume compositions as well as in perfumed articles (e.g., anionic, cationic, nonionic or zwitterionic detergents, soaps, fabric softener compositions, fabric softener articles and perfumed polymers) and colognes depends upon 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 0.01% of one or more of the phenyl alkanol derivatives of our invention or even less (e.g., 0.005%) can be used to impart, augment or enhance strong and persistent herbal, fruity, rose, ozoney, lilac, woody, mimosa, hyacinth, anise, jasmine and honey aromas with sweet, animalic, civet and fresh cut wood undertones to soaps, cosmetics, anionic, cationic, nonionic or zwitterionic detergents, fabric softener articles, microporous polymers, particularly acrylic resins, polyethylenes and 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 phenyl alkanol derivatives of our invention prepared in accordance with a process as set forth, supra (taken alone or taken together with other ingredients in perfume compositions) as (an) olfactory component(s) in detergents and soaps, space odorants and deodorants, perfumes, colognes, toilet waters, bath preparations such as creams, deodorants, hand lotions and sun screens; powders, such as talcs, dusting powders, face powders, microporous "perfumed" slow release polymers and the like.
When used as (an) olfactory component(s) in perfumed articles, as little as 0.005% of one or more of the phenyl alkanol derivatives of our invention will suffice to impart, augment or enhance strong, persistent herbal, fruity, rose, ozoney, lilac, woody, mimosa, hyacinth, anise, jasmine and honey aromas with sweet, animalic, civet and fresh cut wood undertones. Generally, no more than 6% of at least one of the phenyl alkanol derivatives of our invention based on the ultimate end product is required in the perfumed article. Accordingly, the range of use of the phenyl alkanol derivatives of our invention in perfumed articles, per se, is from about 0.005% up to about 6% by weight based on the perfumed article.
In addition, the perfume composition or fragrance composition of our invention can contain a vehicle or carrier for one or more of the phenyl alkanol derivatives of our invention. The vehicle can be a liquid such as a non-toxic alcohol, e.g., ethyl alcohol, a non-toxic glycol, e.g., propylene glycol or the like. The carrier can be an absorbent solid such as a gum (e.g., gum arabic, guar gum or xanthan gum or combinations thereof) or components for encapsulating the composition (such as by coacervation) or using prepolymers such as urea-formaldehyde polymers which are able to form a urea-formaldehyde polymer capsule around a liquid perfume center.
It will thus be apparent that the phenyl alkanol derivatives of our invention can be utilized to alter, modify or enhance sensory properties particularly organoleptic properties such as fragrances of a wide variety of consumable materials.
The following Examples I and II set forth means for preparing the phenyl alkanol derivatives of our invention. The examples including and following Example III, infra, set forth illustrations of organoleptic utilities of the phenyl alkanol derivatives of our invention.
All parts and percentages given herein are by weight unless otherwise specified.
