7.Description:
(en)In a first aspect the present invention relates to compounds of the formula (I) defined below and in particular use thereof as fragrances. In a further aspect, the present invention relates to compositions and fragrance mixtures containing compounds of the formula (I) defined below and the products perfumed with these compositions and fragrance mixtures.
Further, the present invention relates to a method for intensifying an odor or several odors selected from the group consisting of fruity, floral, spicy, woody, musky and ambrette and a method for endowing hair or textile fibers with one, several or all of the notes selected from the group consisting of fruity, floral, spicy, woody, musk and ambrette with use of one or more compounds of the formula (I) defined below.
Because of the generally insufficient availability of many natural fragrance components, the necessary adaptation to changing fashion trends and the constantly rising demand for new fragrances which alone or in the form of compositions are valuable perfume substances or perfumes with interesting perfume notes, there is an ongoing demand for compounds with interesting fragrance qualities.
Furthermore, because of the rising demand from consumers for novel fragrance notes, there is in the perfume industry a constant demand for fragrances with which novel effects can be achieved in perfumes and with which novel fashion trends can thus be created.
In spite of a large number of already existing fragrances, there is also an ongoing general demand in the perfume industry for novel fragrances, in particular for those which in addition to their primary, namely fragrance, properties, also possess additional positive secondary properties, such as for example higher stability under certain use conditions, high spreading capacity, high radiance, good diffusivity (i.e. good spatial effect), fullness, strength and/or naturalness, odor-intensifying properties or else also better dermatological properties with comparable primary olfactory properties.
There is therefore in the perfume industry essentially a need for further fragrances which are suitable for the production of fragrance compositions or perfumed articles. In particular, there is a need for fragrances which through the above-mentioned technical properties lead to increased use of fragrance compositions and perfume oils.
Cedrane derivatives of the formula (V) are described in EP 857 723 A1 and in EP 2 287158 A1. According to this, compounds of this substance class possess an odor of the ambergris type and simultaneously procure a radiant, strong effect, which intensifies quite diverse perfume notes and prolongs their fragrance effect.









A commercially available compound of the formula (V) is the compound [(4aR,5R,7aS,9R)-octahydro-2,2,5,8,8,9a-hexamethyl-4H-4a,9-methanoazuleno-(5,6-d)-1,3-dioxole, CAS No. 211299-54-6; hereinafter: Ambrocenide®], which is also described in EP 0 857 723 A1. Its structure corresponds to the following formula (V′):









The wavy lines in formula (V′) indicate the possible alpha- and beta-configuration of the compound. In other words, Ambrocenide® of the formula (V′) can comprise one, two, three or all of the following diastereoisomers:









For use of a substance as a fragrance, however, as well as an interesting odor profile, still other properties are also important, such as for example stability, compatibility with other fragrances, solubility and toxicological safety.
Further, other important properties are the adhesive capacity or substantivity of a fragrance, in particular on fibers and/or hair. This property is particularly important for surfactant-containing products such as shampoos, detergents and fabric softeners.
Of particular interest for the perfuming of surfactant-containing formulations are ambergris fragrances with strong intrinsic adhesion. Particularly in demand in this context is the odor note of white ambergris (“white amber”). In perfumery terms, “white amber” is understood to mean the odor of aged natural ambergris, which is a very valuable odor note. Apart from this, the ambergris fragrances should have good biodegradability or bioaccumulation.
A primary objective of the present invention is therefore to provide compounds which fulfil as many as possible of the requirements defined above.
In particular, it is an objective of the present invention to provide a substance (mixture or single compound) with an ambergris odor and especially strong intrinsic adhesion, which preferably has an odor note of white ambergris and in addition has an improved toxicological profile.
These problems are solved according to the invention through compounds of the formula (I)

wherein R 1 is or are hydrogen or C 1 -C 3 alkyl, preferably hydrogen, methyl or ethyl, and R 2 hydrogen or C 1 -C 4 alkyl, preferably hydrogen, methyl or ethyl, preferably wherein R 1 and/or R 2 is or are methyl or R 1 methyl and R 2 hydrogen, and

R 3 and R 4 together with the dioxolane unit (as circled or marked above by the dotted line) form a 5-8 membered ring (i.e. a ring which contains the two oxygen atoms, the carbon atom linking the two oxygen atoms and the “residues” R 3 and R 4 ; see below for preferred meanings and formulae), wherein the ring optionally contains a double bond, and wherein the ring is optionally substituted with one or more branched or unbranched, bridged or unbridged alkyl groups, alkenyl groups, cycloalkyl groups, cycloalkenyl groups, aryl groups, arylalkyl groups, alkoxyalkyl groups or alkoxyaryl groups, and R 3 and R 4 in total contain 3 to 16 carbon atoms.
Preferably, R 3 and R 4 together with the dioxolane unit form a 5- or 6-membered ring (concerning this, see below, compounds of the formulae (II), (In, (Ill) and (IV) or (IV)).
All stereoisomers which arise through asymmetrical substitution of the central carbon atom are comprised by the aforesaid formula (I). In other words, the compounds of the formula (I) described herein can in each case be present in the form of a specific stereoisomer or in the form of any mixture of different stereoisomers.
According to one preferred aspect of the present invention, a compound of the formula (I) contains in total 15 carbon atoms.
Particularly suitable according to the invention are compounds of the formula (II) or (II′)

wherein R 1 is or are hydrogen or C 1 -C 3 alkyl, preferably hydrogen, methyl or ethyl, and R 2 hydrogen or C 1 -C 4 alkyl, preferably hydrogen, methyl or ethyl, preferably wherein R 1 and/or R 2 is or are methyl or R 1 methyl and R 2 hydrogen.

All stereoisomers which arise through asymmetrical substitution of the central carbon atom are comprised by the aforesaid formula (II). In other words, the compounds of the formula (II) described herein can in each case be present in the form of a specific stereoisomer or in the form of any mixture of different stereoisomers.
Also particularly suitable are compounds of the formula (III)

wherein R 1 is or are hydrogen or C 1 -C 3 alkyl, preferably hydrogen, methyl or ethyl, and R 2 hydrogen or C 1 -C 4 alkyl, preferably hydrogen, methyl or ethyl, preferably wherein R 1 and/or R 2 is or are methyl or R 1 methyl and R 2 hydrogen, and the compound is saturated or unsaturated.

In the formula (III) stated above, the dotted line indicates that the compound can be saturated or unsaturated. If the compound is saturated, the five- and six-membered ring are joined by a shared single bond; if the compound is unsaturated, the five- and six-membered ring are joined by a shared double bond.
Quite especially suitable and therefore preferred according to the invention are compounds of the formula (IV) or (IV′)

wherein: R═H or C 1 -C 4 alkyl and R′═H or C 1 -C 3 alkyl, preferably R═R′═C 1 alkyl (moreover, for preferred residues the aforesaid applies as appropriate).

In particular the stereoisomer of the formula (IV) is characterized by a strong odor of ambergris and wood and advantageously possesses better biodegradability or better bioaccumulation compared to compounds named in EP 857 723 A1 and EP 2 287158 A1. In general, it should be noted at this point that all of the advantages of compounds according to the invention mentioned herein essentially applies for the totality of the compounds according to the invention described herein, but quite especially for the compounds designated herein as preferred.
In the olfactory evaluation of compounds according to the invention (as described herein) these, in particular those as described above as preferred, proved of interest not only in odor terms. It was further found that these compounds have unusually long adhesion, which even exceeds that of Ambrocenide® (EP 857 723 A1).
The compounds according to the invention of the formulae VIII and IX can for example be prepared by reaction of cis-cedranediol (compound of the formula (VI) which is preparable from α-cedrene) with 1-methoxy-propan-2-one (compound of the formula (VII)).









Analogously, by reaction of cis-cedranediol with methoxyacetaldehyde dimethyl acetal, the compounds according to the invention of the formulae (X) and (XI) can be obtained.









Preferably, the compounds according to the invention of the formulae VIII and IX or X and XI respectively are prepared by reaction of cis-cedranediol (formula VI) with 1-methoxy-propan-2-one or methoxyacetaldehyde dimethyl acetal in presence of one or more water-binding substances and one or more acids.
Accordingly, the present invention also relates to corresponding production processes (as described above). In particular the present invention relates to a method for the production of compounds particularly preferred according to the invention of the formula (I) (see above, compounds of the formulae (VIII) to (XI)) with the following step: reaction of a compound of the formula (VI) (as shown above) with a compound of the formula (VII) (as shown above) or with methoxyacetaldehyde dimethyl acetal, preferably in presence of one or more water-binding substances and one or more acids. Further compounds according to the invention (as described herein) can also be produced in a corresponding manner.
Preferred water-binding substances are selected from the group consisting of orthoformate esters (preferably trimethyl orthoformate or triethyl orthoformate) and 2,2-dialkoxypentanes (preferably 2,2-dimethoxypentane or 2,2-diethoxy-pentane).
The acids optionally used are preferably selected from the group consisting of inorganic protic acids, organic protic acids and acidic fixed bed catalysts.
Preferably, the reaction of cis-cedranediol (formula (VI) with 1-methoxy-propan-2-one or methoxyacetaldehyde dimethyl acetal to give the compounds according to the invention of the formulae VIII and IX or X and XI respectively takes place at a reaction temperature in the range from 0 to 70° C.
The compounds of the formulae (VIII) to (XI) are particularly preferred for the purposes of the invention described herein.
A further aspect of the present invention relates to compositions comprising or consisting of
(i) one or more 3,6,8,8-tetramethyl-octahydro-3a,7-methano-azulen-5,6-diol ketal(s) and (ii) one or more compound(s) of the formula (I), preferably one or more compound(s) of the formula (IV) and one or more compound(s) of the formula (IV′),

characterized in that
the total content of the compounds of the formula (I) or of the compounds of the formulae (IV) and (IV′) is greater than 40 wt. %, preferably greater than 55 wt. %, preferably greater than 70 wt. %, more preferably greater than 85 wt. %, and especially preferably greater than 95 wt. %, based on the total quantity of the 3,6,8,8-tetramethyl-octahydro-3a,7-methano-azulen-5,6-diol ketals contained in the composition,

and/or that
the weight ratio of the compound(s) of the formula (IV) to the compound(s) of the formula (IV′), if present, lies in the range from 4:1 to 1:10, preferably in the range from 2:1 to 1:6, and especially preferably in the range from 1:1 to 1:3.


For compounds of the formula (I) preferably to be selected here, the aforesaid applies as appropriate.
The compounds according to the invention of the formula (I) are advantageously characterized by high absorbability (i.e. intrinsic adhesion on a substrate) and high substantivity (i.e. ability to absorb onto a substrate out of a, mostly aqueous, phase, or to remain on a substrate even after a washing or rinsing procedure). This effect is in particular seen on substrates such as skin, hair and textile fibers (e.g. wool, cotton, linen, synthetic fibers). The terms “substantivity” and “retention” are comprehensively described for example in EP 1 201 738 A1 (compare there the paragraphs [0004]-[0005]).
Corresponding to this knowledge, a further aspect of the present invention relates to the use of the compounds according to the invention or a composition according to the invention (as described above) as a means for increasing the substantivity and/or retention of a fragrance mixture (in particular towards or on hair or textile fibers), preferably a fragrance mixture with fruity, floral and/or spicy notes.
As well as their high absorbability, the compounds according to the invention of the formula (I) are also characterized by their fixing properties, i.e. they advantageously function as a fixative. As fixatives, the compounds according to the invention increase the adhesive strength of other fragrances, whether this is due to a decrease in their vapor pressure or olfactory intensification (e.g. lowering of the threshold value).
A further aspect of the present invention therefore also relates to the use of the compounds according to the invention (as described above) or a composition according to the invention (as described above) as fixatives.
Also a subject of the present invention therefore is the use of a compound according to the invention (as described above) or a composition according to the invention (as described above) as a
fragrance or fragrance mixture, preferably as a fragrance or fragrance mixture with the perfume notes ambergris and/or wood, means for increasing the substantivity and/or the retention of a fragrance mixture, or fixative.

A further subject of the present invention are fragrance mixtures, preferably perfume oils, comprising or consisting of
one or more compound(s) of the formula (I), preferably of the formula (IV), or a composition according to the invention and one or more (further) fragrance(s) not corresponding to the formula (I),

characterized in that
(i) the quantity of the compound(s) of the formula (I), preferably of the formula (IV), suffices to procure an ambergris note and/or wood note, in particular a white ambergris note (“white amber”),

and/or that
(ii) the (further) fragrance(s) not corresponding to the formula (I) procure one, several or all of the notes fruity, floral, spicy, woody, musk and ambrette and the quantity of the compound(s) of the formula (I), preferably of the formula (IV), suffices to modify and/or to intensify one, several or all of the notes fruity, floral, spicy, woody, musk and ambrette,

and/or that
(iii) the quantity of the compound(s) of the formula (I), preferably of the formula (IV), suffices to impart to the fragrance mixture an impression of volume, complexity, elegance and/or naturalness,

and/or that
(iv) the quantity of the compound(s) of the formula (I), preferably of the formula (IV), suffices, in comparison to an otherwise identically constituted fragrance mixture without compounds of the formula (I), to create a more nurturing, more harmonious, higher quality and/or more natural olfactory impression.

For compounds of the formula (I) preferably to be selected here, the aforesaid applies as appropriate.
A preferred fragrance mixture or a preferred perfume oil is characterized in that the quantity of the compound(s) of the formula (I), preferably of the formula (IV), lies in the range from 0.0001 to 25 wt. %, preferably in the range from 0.001 to 15 wt. %, based on the total weight of the fragrance mixture.

Furthermore, it is preferred according to the invention that the weight ratio of musk fragrances to the compound(s) of the formula (I), preferably of the formula (IV), is equal to or greater than 10:1, and preferably lies in the range from 10:1 to 100,000:1, more preferably in the range from 50:1 to 100,000:1, and especially preferably in the range from 100:1 to 100,000:1.
Especially preferable are fragrance mixtures according to the invention which contain 3-methylcyclopentadecenone (Muscenone), 15-pentadec-(11/12)-enolide (Globalide)®, ethylene brassylate, oxacyclohexadecan-2-one (Macrolides), cyclohexadecanone (Isomuscone®), 8-cyclohexadecanone (Globanone®), (7/8)-cyclohexadecanone (Aurelione®) and/or mixtures thereof.
As already mentioned, because of their olfactory properties, the compounds according to the invention are especially suitable for use in fragrance mixtures and in particular perfume oils. For this, the compounds can be used alone or in mixtures in appropriate fragrance mixtures together with further individual fragrances or indeed a large number of further fragrances. Particularly advantageously, the compounds according to the invention can be combined with other fragrances, preferably selected from the fragrances already mentioned above, or mentioned below, in different quantity ratios to give novel fragrances or perfumes.
A further aspect of the present invention therefore relates to a method for intensifying an odor or several odors selected from the group consisting of fruity, floral, spicy, woody, musk and ambrette, comprising the following step:
(i) mixing one or more fragrance(s) with one, several or all of the notes selected from the group consisting of fruity, floral, spicy, woody, musk and ambrette with one or more compound(s) of the formula (I), preferably of the formula (IV), of a composition or fragrance mixture according to the invention, preferably a perfume oil, in a quantity which suffices to intensify the odor impression or odor impressions of the fragrance(s).

The compounds according to the invention, compositions according to the invention or fragrance mixtures according to the invention are preferably used for the production of perfumed products (perfumed articles). The sensory properties, like the material properties (such as solubility in common solvents and compatibility with common further components of such products) and the toxicological safety of the compound according to the invention emphasize its especial suitability for said use purposes.
Also a subject of the present invention therefore are perfumed products containing one or more compound(s) according to the invention, in particular one or more compound(s) of the formula (IV), a composition according to the invention or fragrance mixture, preferably in a sensorily effective quantity.
Preferred perfumed products according to the invention are selected from the group consisting of:
Perfume extracts, eaux de perfume, eaux de toilette, aftershave lotions, eaux de cologne, preshave products, splash colognes, perfumed wet wipes, perfumes for acidic, alkaline and neutral cleaning agents, detergents, laundry tablets, disinfectants, and of air fresheners, aerosol sprays, waxes and polishes, and toiletry products, bath oils, cosmetic emulsions, such as for example skin creams and lotions, sunshield creams and lotions, after-sun creams and lotions, hand creams and lotions, foot creams and lotions, depilatory creams and lotions, aftershave creams and lotions, tanning creams and lotions, hair care products such as for example hair sprays, hair gels, setting hair lotions, hair rinses, hair dyes, hair styling agents and hair straighteners, hair lotions, hair creams and lotions, deodorants and antiperspirants, decorative cosmetic products such as for example eye shadow, nail varnish, make-up, lipsticks, mascara, and of candles, lamp oils, incense sticks, insecticides, repellents and propellants.
Fragrance mixtures according to the invention containing the compounds according to the invention or a composition according to the invention as defined above can in general be used (e.g. in concentrated form, in solutions or in modified form described below) for the production of for example perfume extracts, eaux de perfume, eaux de toilette, aftershave lotions, eaux de cologne, pre-shave products, splash colognes and perfumed wet wipes and the perfuming of acidic, alkaline and neutral cleaning agents, such as for example floor cleaning agents, window cleaning agents, dishwashing agents, bath and sanitary cleaners, scouring agents, solid and liquid WC cleaners, powder and foam carpet cleaners, liquid detergents, powder detergents, laundry pretreatment agents such as bleaches, soaking agents and spot removers, fabric softeners, laundry soaps, laundry tablets, disinfectants, surface disinfectants and of air fresheners in liquid or gel form or applied onto a solid support, aerosol sprays, waxes and polishes such as furniture polishes, floor waxes, shoe creams and toiletry products such as for example solid and liquid soaps, shower gels, shampoos, shaving soaps, shaving foams, bath oils, cosmetic emulsions of the oil-in-water, water-in-oil and water-in-oil-in-water type such as for example skin creams and lotions, face creams and lotions, sun-screen creams and lotions, after-sun creams and lotions, hand creams and lotions, foot creams and lotions, depilatory creams and lotions, aftershave creams and lotions, tanning creams and lotions, hair care products such as for example hair sprays, hair gels, hair setting lotions, hair rinses, permanent and semi-permanent hair colorants, hair styling agents such as cold perms and hair straighteners, hair lotions, hair creams and lotions, deodorants and antiperspirants such as for example armpit sprays, roll-ons, deodorant sticks, deodorant creams, decorative cosmetic products such as for example eye shadow, nail varnishes, make-up, lipsticks and mascara, and of candles, lamp oils, incense sticks, insecticides, repellents and propellants.
The aforesaid fragrance mixtures according to the invention or the fragrance mixtures to be used according to the invention in the appropriate products can be used in liquid form, undiluted or diluted with a solvent for perfume products. Suitable solvents for this are for example ethanol, isopropanol, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, glycerin, propylene glycol, 1,2-butylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, diethyl phthalate, triethyl citrate, isopropyl myristate etc. For said solvents, it applies that in the context of the present text in case of the presence of intrinsic olfactory properties, they are to be assigned exclusively to the component “solvent” and not to the “fragrances”.
The compounds according to the invention contained in the perfumed products according to the invention, a composition according to the invention as described above or a fragrance mixture according to the invention as described above can here in a preferred embodiment be absorbed on a carrier substance which serves both for fine distribution of the fragrances in the product and also for controlled release during use. Such carriers can be porous inorganic materials such as light sulfate, silica gels, zeolites, gypsums, clays, clay granules, gas concrete etc. or organic materials such as woods and cellulose-based substances.
The compounds according to the invention contained in the perfumed products according to the invention, a composition according to the invention as described above or a fragrance mixture according to the invention as defined above can also be present micro-encapsulated, spray-dried, as inclusion complexes or as extrusion products, and be added in this form to the product or article to be perfumed.
Optionally the properties of the fragrance mixtures thus modified can be further optimized by so-called “coating” with suitable materials with regard to more selective perfume release, for which waxy plastics such as for example polyvinyl alcohol are preferably used.
The microencapsulation of the fragrance mixtures can for example be effected by the so-called coacervation method by means of capsule materials, e.g. of polyurethane-type materials or soft gelatins. The spray-dried perfume oils can be produced for example by spray-drying an emulsion or dispersion containing the perfume oil, wherein modified starches, proteins, dextrin and plant gums can be used as carrier substances. Inclusion complexes can be produced for example by introduction of dispersions of the fragrance mixture and cyclodextrins or urea derivatives into a suitable solvent, e.g. water. Extrusion products can result from melting the fragrance mixture with a suitable waxy substance and by extrusion with subsequent solidification, optionally in a suitable solvent, e.g. isopropanol.
The fragrance mixtures according to the invention can then, as already mentioned, be used in concentrated form, in solutions or in above-described modified form for the production of the corresponding perfumed articles according to the invention.
Additives with which the compounds according to the invention, a composition according to the invention as described above or a fragrance mixture according to the invention as described above, can preferably be combined are for example: preservatives, abrasive agents, anti-acne agents, anti-skin aging agents, antibacterial agents, anti-cellulitis agents, antidandruff agents, inflammation inhibitors, irritation-preventing agents, irritation-inhibiting agents, antimicrobial agents, antioxidants, astringents, perspiration-inhibiting agents, antiseptic agents, antistatic agents, binders, buffers, carrier materials, chelating agents, cell stimulants, cleansing agents, nurturing agents, depilatory agents, surface-active substances, deodorants, antiperspirants, plasticizers, emulsifiers, enzymes, essential oils, fibers, film-forming agents, fixatives, foaming agents, foam stabilizers, substances for preventing foaming, foam boosters, fungicides, gelling agents, gel-forming agents, hair care agents, hair styling agents, hair straighteners, hydrating agents, moisturizing substances, moisture-retaining substances, bleaching agents, strengthening agents, spot-removing agents, optical brighteners, impregnating agents, dirt-repellent agents, friction-reducing agents, lubricants, moisturizing creams, ointments, opacifiers, plasticizing agents, covering agents, polish, gloss agents, polymers, powders, proteins, lipid-replenishing agents, buffing agents, silicones, skin soothing agents, skin cleansing agents, skin nurturing agents, skin healing agents, skin whitening agents, skin protection agents, skin softening agents, cooling agents, skin cooling agents, warming agents, skin warming agents, stabilizers, UV absorbers, UV filters, detergents, fabric conditioners, suspending agents, skin tanning agents, thickeners, vitamins, oils, waxes, fats, phospholipids, saturated fatty acids, mono- or polyunsaturated fatty acids, α-hydroxy acids, polyhydroxy fatty acids, liquefiers, colorants, color protective agents, pigments, anticorrosion agents, aromas, flavor substances, polyols, surfactants, electrolytes, organic solvents or silicone derivatives.
Further aspects according to the invention in connection with compounds according to the invention, a composition according to the invention (as described above) or a fragrance mixture according to the invention (as described above) are explained below.
As already mentioned above, for surfactant-containing perfumed products the substantivity of a fragrance or a fragrance mixture as regards the retention thereof on the substrate, in particular hair or textile fibers, is a further important application technology requirement.
By addition of the compounds according to the invention or of a composition according to the invention (as described above) to a given fragrance mixture of only low substantivity and/or retention, these properties are particularly advantageously improved. Thus for example an aqueous laundry solution (or a corresponding detergent or shampoo or the like) which is indeed fruity, floral, and/or spicy-smelling, but owing to only inadequate substantivity of the perfume substances contained therein is unsuitable for imparting a fruity, floral and/or spicy odor to laundry (textile fibers) or hair, can by addition of the compounds according to the invention or of a composition according to the invention (as described above) be converted into a solution which outstandingly imparts a fruity, floral and/or spicy odor. The fruity, floral and/or spicy odor adheres for a long time to the treated substrates (hair or textile fibers).
The fragrance mixtures (as described above) containing compounds according to the invention or a composition according to the invention (as described above) are characterized by high substantivity. This effect is seen in particular on substrates such as skin, hair and textile fibers (e.g. wool, cotton, linen and synthetic fibers).
This effect is explained in more detail below in the context of the application technology examples.
Thus a perfumed product (as described above) which contains one or more surfactants is also a subject of the present invention.
For example, a perfumed product according to the invention is a weakly acidic, alkaline or neutral cleaning agent which is in particular selected from the group consisting of
general purpose cleaners, floor cleaners, window cleaners, washing up liquids, bath and sanitary cleaners, scouring cream, solid and liquid WC cleaners, powder and foam carpet cleaners, liquid detergents, powder detergents, laundry pretreatment agents such as bleaching agents, softeners and spot removers, laundry fabric softeners, laundry soaps, laundry tablets, disinfectants and surface disinfectants, air fresheners in liquid or gel form, or applied on a solid carrier or as aerosol spray, waxes or a polish which is in particular selected from the group consisting of furniture polishes, floor waxes and shoe creams,

and
toiletries, which is in particular selected from the group consisting of shower gels and shampoos.

The positive properties described contribute to the fact that the compounds according to the invention, a mixture according to the invention (as defined above) or a fragrance mixture according to the invention (as defined above) are especially preferably used in laundry and cleaning agents, hygiene or toiletry products, in particular in the field of body and hair care, cosmetics and the home.
Especially preferable perfumed products according to the invention are therefore laundry and cleaning agents, hygiene or toiletry products, in particular in the field of body and hair care, cosmetics and the home.
A fragrance mixture according to the invention is preferably produced according to the invention by mixing the compound according to the invention or a mixture according to the invention as defined above with the further fragrances and optionally further components of the fragrance mixture.
According to a preferred embodiment, a fragrance mixture according to the invention is produced as described above, wherein the compounds according to the invention are used in a quantity which suffices to procure, to modify and/or to intensify one or preferably both of the odor notes ambergris and wood in the fragrance mixture.
As already mentioned, the compounds according to the invention can be used as agents for endowing hair and/or textile fibers with one or both odor notes ambergris and/or wood.
Accordingly, a further aspect of the present invention relates to a method for endowing hair or textile fibers with one, several or all of the notes selected from the group consisting of fruity, floral, spicy, woody, musk and ambrette, comprising the following steps:
(i) preparing a fragrance mixture according to the invention, wherein the (further) fragrance(s) not corresponding to the formula (I) procure one, several or all of the notes fruity, floral, spicy, woody, musk and ambrette and the quantity of the compound(s) of the formula (I), preferably of the formula (IV), suffices to modify and/or to intensify one, several or all of the notes fruity, floral, spicy, woody, musk and ambrette, and (ii) applying the fragrance mixture onto the hair or the textile fibers.

For preferred components of a fragrance mixture to be used here, the aforesaid applies as appropriate.
The present invention will be explained in more detail below on the basis of selected examples.

For explanations of the product names of the fragrances, see e.g. S. Arctander, Perfume and Flavor Materials, Vol. I and II, Montclair, N. J., 1969, published by author, or H. Surburg, J. Panten, “Common Fragrance and Flavor Materials”, 5 th . Ed., Wiley-VCH, Weinheim 2006.
Cis-cedranediol, which was obtained from (−)-α-cedrene by epoxidation and subsequent ring opening, was used. According to NMR investigation, the following structure for the diol is present:









Example 1
Reaction of cis-cedranediol with 1-methoxy-propan-2-one
24 g (0.1 mol) of cis-cedranediol (26 g with a GC content of 92% were used), 127.6 g (1.45 mol) of 1-methoxy-propan-2-one, 31.8 g (0.3 mol) of trimethyl orthoformate and 0.4 g of concentrated sulfuric acid were stirred for 24 hours at 10° C. After the end of the reaction, methyl tert.-butyl ether was added, washed with a 5% sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and the low-boilers distilled off. After addition of n-hexane, unreacted cis-cedranediol crystallized out, and was removed by filtration. After concentration of the filtrate, 30.4 g of crude product were obtained. According to GC analysis, the content of the compounds of the formulae (VIII) and (IX) in the product obtained was in total 51% (corresponding to 50% of the theoretical yield). By dissolving the crude product in dipropylene glycol (DPG), a solution with a content of 10 wt. % of compounds of the formulae (VIII) and (IX) (with a ratio of (VIII):(IX)=1:2.3) was produced from this.
For analytical tests, from the crude product the stereoisomeric compounds of the formulae (VIII) and (IX) were separated from one another by liquid chromatography on silica gel 60 (0.04-0.063 mm) with the eluent cyclohexane/ethyl acetate (60/1). The compound of the formula (VIII) was obtained with a purity of 99.4% and the compound of the formula (IX) with a purity of 96.9%.

Example 2
Reaction of Cis-Cedranediol with Methoxyacetaldehyde Dimethyl Acetal
24 g (0.1 mol) of cis-cedranediol (26 g with a GC content of 92% were used), 127.6 g (1.45 mol) of methoxyacetaldehyde dimethyl acetal and 0.4 g of concentrated sulfuric acid were stirred for 24 hours at 10° C. After the end of the reaction, methyl tert.-butyl ether was added, washed with a 5% sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and the low-boilers distilled off. After addition of n-hexane, unreacted cis-cedranediol crystallized out, and was removed by filtration. After concentration of the filtrate, 30.4 g of crude product were obtained. According to GC analysis, the content of the compounds of the formulae (X) and (XI) in the product obtained was in total 51% (corresponding to 50% of the theoretical yield). By dissolving the crude product in dipropylene glycol (DPG), a solution with a content of 10 wt. % of compounds of the formulae (X) and (XI) (with a ratio of (X):(XI)=1:6.2) was produced from this.
For analytical tests, from the crude product the stereoisomeric compounds of the formulae (X) and (XI) were separated from one another by liquid chromatography on silica gel 60 (0.04-0.063 mm) with the eluent cyclohexane/ethyl acetate (60/1). The compound of the formula (X) was obtained with a purity of 99.4% and the compound of the formula (XI) with a purity of 96.9%.

Application Technology Examples:

Example Intrinsic Adhesion: Compound of the Formula (VIII) Versus Ambrocenide®:

Each fragrance to be tested is dipped as a 10% solution in DPG onto coded scent strips, i.e. the fragrance to be tested is applied onto the scent strip by dipping the respective scent strip into the respective solution of the fragrance to be tested, and odor-assessed directly afterwards at the following time intervals:
1 hour; 3 hours; 10 hours; 1 day; 3 days; 10 days; 1 month; 3 months. The testers assess the odor intensity on a scale from 1=odorless to 9=very strong.
Testing is continued until the mean intensity value from the testers falls below the value of 1.5 (very weak). If 50% of the testers return an intensity of 1, and thus make it clear that the fragrance dipped onto the scent strip is no longer perceived, the test is declared to be ended. In the longest case, testing is continued for 3 months.

The compound of the formula (VIII) exhibits markedly longer adhesion on the scent strip than Ambrocenide®.
Example Substantivity on Hair: Compound of the Formula (VIIII) Versus Ambrocenide®:
The fragrance to be tested is incorporated in a quantity of 0.6 wt. % as a 50% solution in DPG into a shampoo formulation analogous to example F8 instead of the perfume oil used there. For each fragrance to be tested, two strands of hair are needed. In addition, as a reference, in each case one pair of hair strands is washed with the unperfumed shampoo formulation of example F8.
All hair strands are washed together with neutral shampoo in a 2 L beaker (min. 2 hrs soaking). Then the hair strands are rinsed well under running water and then dried at room temperature (ca. 23° C.). 100 ml of a 20% aqueous solution is prepared from each shampoo (unperfumed mixture also). Now for each shampoo one strand pair is washed together for 2 mins in the solution. Next, these two strands are rinsed together for 20 secs under flowing, lukewarm water. Both hair strands are combed. One hair strand is wrapped wet in aluminum foil. The second hair strand is dried with a hair dryer.
A tester panel assesses the prepared hair strands by smelling. The testers assess the intensity of the samples on a scale from 0 (odorless) to 6 (very strong).

The intensity value of the compound of the formula (VIII) on dry hair is higher compared with Ambrocenide® by more than a factor of 3.
Example Substantivity on Cotton: Compound of the Formula (VIII) Versus Ambrocenide®:
The fragrance to be tested is incorporated in a quantity of 0.5 wt. % as a 50% solution in DPG into a fabric softener formulation analogous to example F5 instead of the perfume oil used there.
Cotton cloths are washed neutral at 95° C. in a washing machine and dried in air at room temperature.
In each case, two identically coded cotton cloths are rinsed with 370 g of a 1% aqueous fabric softener liquor containing the respective fragrance to be tested in a pot of the Linitest machine in the fabric softener program. Next, the liquor is poured out of the individual pots, the cloths wrung pot by pot, and all cloth pairs spin-dried as a pair for 20 secs. Then one cloth from each cloth pair is shrink-wrapped wet, and one hung out to dry.
A test panel assesses the prepared samples by smelling.
The testers assess the intensity of the samples on a scale from 0 (odorless) to 6 (very strong)
In each case they start with the unperfumed specimen and then the samples.
