Description

"Perfume composition with odor modulator compounds to increase fragrance intensity"

The invention relates to a perfume composition containing at least one odor modulator compound for increasing the fragrance intensity of the perfume composition and a consumer product containing such a perfume composition. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for increasing the fragrance intensity of the perfume composition and to the use of at least one odor modulator compound for increasing the fragrance intensity of the perfume composition.

Demands on consumer products such as textile treatment products, detergents, cosmetics or adhesives have become more demanding in recent years as consumers expect more and more powerful products on the one hand, but on the other hand due to regulatory constraints or consumers' desire for more sustainable and environmentally friendly products the acceptance of commodity-intensive products decreases.

This trend leads to the concentration of consumer products, which means that the active ingredient content in the corresponding products is higher, whereas the amount of the consumer product to be used by the consumer is smaller - if the consumer product is used professionally. However, this concentration can be to disadvantages in the

Incorporation and / or performance of certain ingredients, such as in particular

Perfume compositions, lead. For example, the high concentration of

Perfume composition, which is necessary to achieve a particular fragrance intensity, cause the perfume composition can not be incorporated stable in the consumer product. The consequence of this development is that often only small amounts of one

Perfume composition can be incorporated into the consumer product, but this is associated with a low fragrance intensity.

The prior art has so far disclosed only technologies that can only partially compensate for the disadvantages mentioned above and, for example, lead to a prolonged fragrance or at a defined time to a strong release of fragrance.

For example, European Patent EP 1 976 855 B1 describes bicyclic oxazolidines known as

Perfume precursors are used and release by slow hydrolysis of a fragrance, whereby a long-lasting fragrance is generated. However, a direct increase in the fragrance intensity of the entire perfume composition can not be achieved by this technology. European patent EP 2 087 089 B1 describes the use of perfume microcapsules as a depot system, wherein the capsules break open at a defined time and provide an intense fragrance in the short term. However, this technology is associated with great technical effort and high costs and the capsule wall material has no direct function after breaking the capsules.

International Patent Application WO 2012/162331 A2 describes the use of special fragrance chords with a specific odor intensity value (OIS), the selected fragrances having a particularly high odor intensity (OIR). However, based on this technology, not every fragrance profile can be generated, as the choice of fragrances is severely limited.

The object of the present invention was therefore to provide a perfume composition with an arbitrary but specific scent profile which has a higher scent intensity than conventional perfume compositions, without necessarily relying on complex technologies such as perfume precursors or depot systems.

This object has been achieved by a perfume composition comprising at least an odor modulator compound according to the general formula (I),

Formula (I),

in which

X is CHR ² , sulfur or a carbonyl group; and

Y is CHR ⁴ , sulfur, CR ⁴ R ⁵ or a carbonyl group; and

R, R ² and R ^{5 are} each independently hydrogen or 1 to 4 radicals

Carbon atoms; and

R ³ and R ^{4 are} each independently of one another hydrogen or radicals having 1 to 8 carbon atoms,

in which

the radicals R to R ^{5 are} open-chain; and

 one or more methyl groups, methylene groups, methine groups or quaternary

Carbon atoms of R to R ^{5 may} each be independently substituted by heteroatoms.

It has surprisingly been found that the fragrance intensity of a perfume composition containing at least one odor modulator compound according to the invention is increased. By the use of an odor modulator compound according to the invention in one

Perfume composition can therefore reduce the amount of perfume composition in one Consumer product such as textile treatment agents, detergents, cosmetics or adhesive can be significantly reduced without reducing the intensity of the fragrance or substantially alter the fragrance profile of the perfume composition. In addition, perfume compositions of the present invention, because of the smaller amount necessary to achieve the same scent intensity, can be more stably incorporated into common consumer products than conventional perfume compositions.

These and other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from a study of the following detailed description and claims. It is

of course, that the examples contained herein are intended to describe and illustrate the invention, but not to limit it, and in particular that the invention is not limited to the examples.

All percentages are by weight unless stated otherwise (% by weight).

Quantities of ingredients of the perfume compositions described herein, unless otherwise indicated, always refer to the amount of the pure ingredient. Furthermore, amounts referring to at least one ingredient always mean the total amount of that type of ingredient contained in the composition, unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Numeric ranges specified in the format "from x to y" include the above values.If multiple preferred numeric ranges are specified in this format, it is understood that all ranges resulting from the combination of the various endpoints, are also included.

"At least one" as used herein refers to 1 or more, for example, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or more In the context of components of those described herein

Perfume compositions does not refer to this indication to the absolute amount

Thus, for example, at least one odor modulator compound means one or more different odor modulator compounds, that is, one or more different types of odor modulator compounds nothing else is stated.

All features related to "at least one odor modulator compound", such as the odor threshold value, the ClogP value, quantities or ratios, apply to each individual odor modulator compound

Odor modulator compounds in a specific amount range in the Containing perfume composition, it means that both the first

Odor modulator compound is contained in the specific amount range, as well as the second odor modulator compound is contained in the specific amount range.

For the purposes of the present invention, a perfume composition comprises at least one perfume which contributes substantially to the achievement of a specific fragrance profile. In the context of the invention, a fragrance may also be present in the form of a fragrance precursor compound or in the form of a fragrance depot system. In addition, a perfume composition additionally comprises all adjuvants known in the art which themselves have no perceptible odor, but result in a better meterability, a prolonged fragrance or a similar effect, such as, for example, solvents or adhesion promoters.

The terms fragrance and perfume are used synonymously in the context of the present invention. A fragrance is a compound which has a characteristic odor and contributes to the achievement of a specific fragrance profile of a perfume composition. To

Fragrances also include those compounds that have the fragrance profile of a

Change perfume composition in that the fragrance is given a certain depth, which the skilled person usually knows as the complexity of a fragrance. However, a fragrance within the meaning of the present invention has no direct influence on the fragrance intensity of the perfume composition, as long as the perfume composition is used at a constant concentration.

The fragrance profile of a perfume composition is the specific fragrance a consumer perceives due to the fragrance it contains. Without being in any way limited to a fragrance, for example, flowery, spicy, sweet, sour, tart, fresh, woody, fruity, leathery, oriental, animal, chypre, fougere, citrus, edible, green, musky, ozone, aldehydic, smell agriculturally, aromatic or marine, which can be achieved by the special selection of the individual fragrances in the perfume composition complex fragrance profiles and a floral fragrance can smell, for example, rose, violet or lavender. A scent profile is therefore the characteristic scent of each perfume composition, which results from the fragrances used.

An odor modulator compound (GMV) in the context of the present invention is a

Compound that may have an odor, but in the used

Concentration, under the test conditions given below, not or not significantly contributes to a change in the fragrance profile of the perfume composition containing at least one odor modulator compound. An insignificant change in the fragrance profile of the perfume composition means that the fragrance profile, although slightly different from the original Odor profile of the perfume composition may differ, but is still recognized by the skilled person as the original fragrance profile. An odor modulator compound according to the present invention, however, despite its low use concentration, has a significant influence on the perceived by the consumer fragrance intensity of the perfume composition, so that, for example, a smaller amount of the perfume composition can be used to achieve the same fragrance intensity as in a conventional

Perfume composition without odor modulator compound. An odor modulator compound therefore, unlike a fragrance contained in a perfume composition, does not define the fragrance profile, but rather enhances the fragrance intensity of the fragrance profile of the perfume composition as defined by the fragrances. This makes the at least one

Odor modulator compound does not substantially change the fragrance profile of the perfume composition, in principle, any desired fragrance profile can be realized without the disturbing side notes are perceived.

An odor modulator compound in the context of the present invention is subject to the general formula (I)

in which

X is a CHR ² , sulfur or a carbonyl group; and

Y is a CHR ⁴ , sulfur, CR ⁴ R ⁵ or a carbonyl group; and

R, R ² and R ^{5 are} each independently hydrogen or 1 to 4 radicals

Carbon atoms; and

R ³ and R ⁴ each independently represent hydrogen or radicals of 1 to 8

 Carbon atoms,

in which

the radicals R to R ^{5 are} open-chain; and

 one or more methyl groups, methylene groups, methine groups or quaternary

Carbon atoms

R ⁵ to R ^{5 may} each independently be substituted by heteroatoms.

The radicals R to R ^{5 of} the at least one odor modulator compound of the general formula (I) are open-chain. Open-chain in the context of the present invention means that none of the radicals R to R ⁵ as such forms a ring or participates in a ring and also no rings between the individual radicals R to R ^{5 are} formed. However, open-chain does not mean in particular that the radicals R to R ^{5 can} not have double or triple bonds between two directly adjacent atoms. One or more methyl groups, methylene groups, methine groups or quaternary carbon atoms of R to R ^{5 of} the at least one odor modulator compound may each be independently substituted by heteroatoms. Heteroatoms in the context of the present invention are selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, silicon, selenium, fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine. One or more methyl groups can be substituted by a heteroatom selected from the group nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, silicon, selenium, fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine, one or more methylene groups can be selected by a heteroatom selected from the group nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur , Selenium or silicon, one or more methine groups can be substituted by a heteroatom selected from the group of nitrogen or silicon and one or more quaternary

Carbon atoms can be substituted by silicon. When one or more methyl groups, methylene groups, methine groups or quaternary carbon atoms of the radicals R to R ⁵ are substituted by heteroatoms, this means that the corresponding group opposes a

Heteroatom is exchanged. Should be replaced by the substitution of a methyl group, a

Methylene or a methine group arise free valences, they are basically saturated with hydrogen. Thus, for example, a terminal methyl group besides a methylene group can be replaced by a hydroxy group or a sulfanyl group to give a methylene hydroxy group or a methylene thiol group. Similarly, an isopropyl group which is a radical having two methyl groups and a methine group or a derivative of the isopropyl group which is a group having a methyl group, a methylene group and a quaternary carbon atom may have, for example, the following substitution patterns:

In principle, methyl groups, methylene groups, methine groups or quaternary carbon atoms of the radicals R to R ⁵ can be arbitrarily substituted by heteroatoms, but with the exception of di- or polysulfides or diazo compounds, no two directly adjacent groups are simultaneously substituted by heteroatoms. The at least one

Odor modulator compound according to the present invention preferably contains one to four heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the at least one is subject

Odor modulator compound of general formula (I), wherein

X is CHR ² , sulfur or a carbonyl group; and

Y is CHR ⁴ , sulfur or a carbonyl group; and

R and R ² each independently represent hydrogen or groups of 1 to 3 carbon atoms; and R ³ and R ^{4 are} each independently of one another hydrogen or radicals having 1 to 7 carbon atoms,

in which

the radicals R to R ^{4 are} open-chain; and

 one or more methyl groups, methylene groups, methine groups or quaternary

Carbon atoms of R to R ^{4 may} each be independently substituted by heteroatoms.

The at least one odor modulator compound in the context of the present invention preferably has a molecular weight of less than 250 g mol ^-1 , preferably less than 225 g mol ^-1 and even more preferably less than 200 g mol ^-1 .

The at least one odor modulator compound in the context of the invention enhances the

 Perfume intensity of the perfume composition, which is described by the efficiency factor (E). The efficiency factor is a measure of the scent intensity of two identical ones

 Fragrance combinations containing perfume compositions, wherein one of the two perfume compositions additionally contains at least one odor modulator compound in the context of the present invention. A group of at least 34 well-trained individuals assess the intensity of both perfume compositions and determine the

 Perfume composition that smells more intense than the other, wherein the evaluation of the intensity of the perfume compositions in the embodiments of this invention was made by exactly 34 people trained by the smell. Subsequently, the number of the odorily trained persons, who the perfume composition with

Odor modulator compound has been rated as more intense (PGMV) by the number of persons with an olfactory experience who rated the perfume composition without odor modulator compound as more intense (P), according to the formula

divided, whereby the efficiency factor (E) is obtained. An inventive

Odor modulator compound increases the fragrance intensity of the perfume composition so that the efficiency factor is at least 1.15. In a preferred

Embodiment, the efficiency factor has at least a value of 1.5, more preferably a value of at least 1.75 or even more preferably even a value of at least 2.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the inventive

Perfume Composition One to six odor modulator compounds, preferably one to five Odor modulator compounds, more preferably one to four odor modulator compounds, and most preferably one to three odor modulator compounds.

In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the at least one

Odor modulator compound, based on the totality of all fragrances contained in the perfume composition in a weight ratio of not more than 1: 9, preferably not more than 1:49, more preferably not more than 1: 99 and most preferably not more than 1: 299 used, the ratio always on the at least one Fragrance as such and not on one

corresponding perfume precursor compound or a fragrance depot system is related.

In yet another preferred embodiment of the invention, the at least one odor modulator compound is present in an amount of from 2% to 0.000001% by weight, preferably from 1.5% to 0.000001% by weight, more preferably from 1.0% by weight % to 0.000001 wt%, more preferably from 0.5 wt% to 0.000001 wt%, most preferably 0.25 wt% to 0.000001 wt%, wt% each based on the perfume composition ,

The low ratio of the at least one odor modulator compound compared to the fragrances contained in the perfume composition and the small amounts of the individual odor modulator ensures that the fragrance profile of the perfume composition changed at most insignificant, so that the expert further recognizes the fragrance profile of the original fragrance. Moreover, it is advantageous from an ecological and economic point of view to use only small amounts of the at least one odor modulator compound.

In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the at least one

Odor modulator compound selected from sulfides, disulfides, trisulfides and polysulfides.

The octanol / water partition coefficient of an odor modulator compound is the ratio between its equilibrium concentration in octanol and in water. Because the

Distribution coefficients of the odor modulator compounds often have high values, for example 1000 or higher, they are more conveniently given in the form of their base 10 logarithm, one speaks of the so-called logP value.

The logP value of numerous odor modulator compounds is documented. However, the logP values are most conveniently calculated by the "CLOGP" program available from Daylight Chemical Information Systems, Inc., (Daylight CIS), Irvine, California. The "calculated logP values", the ClogP values, which are the most reliable and widely used estimates for this physicochemical property, are outlined below This invention is used in the selection of odor modulator compounds. In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the at least one

Odor modulator compound has a ClogP value less than 2.5, preferably less than 2.0. A small ClogP value is equivalent to a good water solubility of at least one

Odor modulator compound at standard conditions according to IUPAC, ie 25 ° C and 1 bar air pressure. Due to the good water solubility of the at least one odor modulator compound, on the one hand, it can be incorporated well into an aqueous consumer product and distributed homogeneously, and, on the other hand, evaporation of the water, e.g. when drying textiles treated with a perfume composition according to the invention, the at least one odor modulator compound is better entrained in the gas phase, whereby the odor intensity of the perfume composition can be additionally enhanced.

The at least one odor modulator compound is preferably characterized by a low odor threshold (ODT). The odor threshold value is the lowest odor nor perceptible concentration of a substance. A simple technique for

Determination of the odor threshold value is provided by dynamic olfactometry, whereby a direct sensory evaluation of the compounds takes place. The odor threshold serves as a measure of the odor strength of a fragrance. The odor threshold value (ODT) of the at least one odor modulator compound is determined according to DIN EN 13725: 2003 and is preferably less than 100 ppb, preferably less than 75 ppb, more preferably less than 50 ppb, even more preferably less than 35 ppb, even more preferably less than 10 ppb and on most preferably less than 1 ppb. Detailed information can be found, for example, in DIN EN 13725: 2003. For the purpose of the present invention, the odor threshold is measured according to the following procedure: The olfactometer is in a specific for the olfactometer

furnished room (measuring room), which is odorless, can be well ventilated and possibly forced ventilation via an activated carbon filter. The volume fraction of carbon dioxide in the measuring room is less than 0.15 vol .-%, the air exchange rate is at least 4.4 m ³ / h per person. The temperature in the measuring room is 22 ± 3 ° C and is constant during the measurement. The measuring room is not exposed to direct sunlight and other disturbing sources of light and noise have been minimized as much as possible. The olfactometer and all devices directly or indirectly to be evaluated

Odor modulator compounds must be odorless and are inert with respect to their reactivity with the odor modulator compounds, such as glass, stainless steel or PTFE. The airflow provided by the olfactometer must be at least 20 L / min, with the opening of the device at which the sensory evaluation is made so that the air velocity in the flowed-through orifice is at least 0.2 m / s. The olfactometer is checked regularly, at least every twelfth compound by a reference measurement with n-butanol as the reference compound. The rating of Connections are made by at least four examiners, usually using the same number of odor-trained men and women, all of whom are at least 16 years old. At the time of evaluation of the compounds, the examiners are not affected by disturbing factors such as contact with perfume, food, other stimulants or even by a cold or allergy. From the odor modulator compound

standardized dilute solutions in an odorless solvent, for example

Dipropylene glycol (DPG), with the lowest concentration well below the odor threshold. Subsequently, the solutions are measured by means of the olfactometer. The concentration of the compound to be evaluated is gradually increased, with the

Concentration is doubled until the tester perceives a smell. Each odor modulator compound is measured three times each by each examiner and the arithmetic mean of all odor sensed concentrations forms the Odor Threshold (ODT).

A perfume composition according to the invention may be contained in a consumer product, in particular a textile treatment agent, cleaning agent, cosmetics or an adhesive, which is the second object of the present invention. By the use of the perfume composition according to the invention, comprising at least one

Odor modulator compound, can be compared to the perfume composition without

Odor modulator compound, the amount of perfume composition necessary to achieve a specific fragrance intensity is advantageously lowered by at least 15% by weight, preferably at least 20% by weight or even by at least 25% by weight.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the

Consumer product to a textile treatment or cleaning agent containing at least one surfactant selected from anionic, cationic or nonionic surfactants.

The anionic surfactant used may preferably be sulfonates and / or sulfates. The preferred total amount of anionic surfactant in the textile treatment or

Cleaning agent is 7.5 to 65.0 wt .-% and preferably 20.0 to 45 wt .-%, each based on the total agent. As surfactants of the sulfonate type are preferably C9-i3-alkylbenzenesulfonates,

Olefinsulfonate, that is, mixtures of alkene and hydroxyalkanesulfonates and disulfonates, as obtained for example from Ci2-i8 monoolefins with terminal or internal double bond by sulfonation with gaseous sulfur trioxide and subsequent alkaline or acidic hydrolysis of the sulfonation, into consideration. Also suitable are C 12 -is alkanesulfonates and the esters of α-sulfo fatty acids (ester sulfonates), for example the α-sulfonated methyl esters of hydrogenated coconut, palm kernel or tallow fatty acids.

Alk (en) ylsulfates are the alkali metal and in particular the sodium salts of

Sulfuric acid half esters of C 12 -18 fatty alcohols, for example from coconut fatty alcohol,

Tallow fatty alcohol, lauryl, myristyl, cetyl or stearyl alcohol or the C 10 -C 20 oxo alcohols and those half-esters of secondary alcohols of these chain lengths. Of washing technology interest, the Ci2-Ci6-alkyl sulfates and Ci2-Ci5-alkyl sulfates and Cw-cis-alkyl sulfates are preferred. 2,3-alkyl sulfates are also suitable anionic surfactants.

Also fatty alcohol ether sulfates, such as the sulfuric monoesters of ethoxylated with 1 to 6 moles of ethylene oxide straight or branched C7-2i alcohols, such as 2-methyl-branched C9-11 alcohols having an average of 3.5 moles of ethylene oxide (EO) or Ci2-is fatty alcohols with 1 to 4 EO, are suitable.

Other suitable anionic surfactants are soaps. Suitable are saturated and unsaturated fatty acid soaps, such as the salts of lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, (hydrogenated) erucic acid and behenic acid and, in particular, soap mixtures derived from natural fatty acids, for example coconut, palm kernel, olive oil or tallow fatty acids.

The anionic surfactants and the soaps may be in the form of their sodium, potassium or

Magnesium or ammonium salts are present. Preferably, the anionic surfactants are in the form of their ammonium salts. Preferred counterions for the anionic surfactants are the protonated forms of choline, triethylamine, monoethanolamine or methylethylamine.

Cationic surfactants are preferably selected from esterquats and / or quaternary ammonium compounds (QAV) according to the general formula (R ^l ) (R ") (R ^m ) (R ^lv ) N ⁺ X ^" where R 'to R ^{IV are} identical or different Ci-22-alkyl radicals, C7-28-Arylalkylreste or heterocyclic radicals, wherein two or in the case of an aromatic inclusion as in pyridine even three radicals together with the nitrogen atom, the heterocycle, for example a pyridinium or Imidazoliniumverbindung form, and X ^"represents halide ions, sulfate ions, hydroxide ions or similar anions, QACs are obtained by reaction of tertiary amines with Alkylating agents such as methyl chloride, benzyl chloride, dimethyl sulfate, dodecyl bromide, but also ethylene oxide produced. The alkylation of tertiary amines with a long alkyl radical and two methyl groups succeeds particularly easily, and the quaternization of tertiary amines with two long radicals and one methyl group can be carried out with the aid of methyl chloride under mild conditions. Amines which have three long alkyl radicals or hydroxy-substituted alkyl radicals are less reactive and are, for example, quaternized with dimethyl sulfate. Examples of suitable QACs are benzalkonium chloride (N-alkyl-N, N-dimethylbenzylammonium chloride), benzalkone B (m, p-dichlorobenzyldimethyl-C 12 -alkylammonium chloride, benzoxonium chloride (benzyldodecyl-bis (2-hydroxyethyl) ammonium chloride) , Cetrimonium bromide (N-hexadecyl-N, N-trimethyl-ammonium bromide), benzetonium chloride (N, N-dimethyl-N [2- [2- [p- (1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl) -phenoxy] -ethoxy] - ethyl] benzylammonium chloride), dialkyldimethylammonium chlorides such as di-n-decyldimethylammonium chloride, didecyldimethylammonium bromide, dioctyldimethylammonium chloride, 1-cetylpyridinium chloride and thiazolinium iodide and mixtures thereof Preferred QACs are the benzalkonium chlorides having Cs-C22-alkyl radicals , in particular Ci2-Ci4-alkyl-benzyl dimethylammonium chloride.

Cationic surfactants are present in the textile treatment or cleaning agents in amounts of preferably from 5% by weight to 50% by weight, in particular from 8% by weight to 30% by weight. Suitable nonionic surfactants include alkoxylated fatty alcohols, alkoxylated

The nonionic surfactant used are preferably alkoxylated, advantageously ethoxylated, in particular primary, alcohols having preferably 8 to 18 carbon atoms and on average 4 to 12 moles of ethylene oxide (EO) per mole of alcohol, in which the alcohol radical may be linear or preferably methyl-branched in the 2-position or linear and

methyl-branched radicals in the mixture can contain, as they usually in

Oxoalkoholresten present. In particular, however, preferred are alcohol ethoxylates having linear residues of alcohols of native origin having 12 to 18 carbon atoms, for example coconut, palm, tallow or oleyl alcohol, and on average 5 to 8 EO per mole of alcohol.

The efficiency factor E for the perfume composition with GMV from Table 4 versus the perfume composition without GMV is 1.69.

The liquid toilet rinse cleaners were expertly placed in conventional toilets with the toilets set up in fragrance booths so that no foreign odors could interfere with the fragrance intensity and scent profile rating. The toilets were then rinsed a total of 50 times with 6 L of water. After a waiting period of 48 h, the toilets were in 15 min

Rinses were rinsed four times at a time and then the fragrance intensity and fragrance profile of the two liquid toilet rinse cleaners were evaluated after 1, 2, 4, 8 and 24 h. The evaluation was made according to the same method used to determine the efficiency factor. The

Perfume intensity of both liquid toilet flush was rated identical at the time points tested. In addition, no significant differences were observed between the odor profiles of both liquid toilet rinse cleaners.
