Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to compositions, inter alia,
personal care lotions, laundry detergent compositions, which
comprise a photo-labile perfume delivery system capable of
releasing fragrance raw material alcohols. The compositions of the
present invention can also comprise initial amounts of the
releasable fragrance raw material alcohols thereby providing a
sustained initial fragrance.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Pro-fragrances and pro-accords have been used to enhance the
delivery of fragrance raw materials and to sustain their duration.
Typically pro-fragrances and pro-accords deliver alcohol, ketone,
aldehyde, and ester fragrance raw materials via substrates which
are triggered by one or more release mechanisms, inter alia, the
acidic pH of skin, nascent moisture, shift of position of
equilibrium.
[0003] Fragrances or odors not only provide a pleasant aesthetic
benefit, but also serve as a signal. For example, foods, which have
soured or are no longer edible, may develop smells, which are
repulsive and send a signal that they are no longer palatable.
Therefore, the delivery of an aroma sensory signal is also a
benefit, which a pro-fragrance can provide.
[0004] However, pro-fragrances and pro-accords typically rely on
the break down of a chemical species not based on accidental
circumstance but on deliberate execution. There are examples of
fragrance or odor releasing compounds which involve release of
fragrances which are initiated by exposure to electromagnetic
radiation, inter alia, UV light, however, these compounds do not
have a means for controlling the release rate of the fragrances
such that the formulator can ensure the fragrances will be release
during a period of time which is of benefit to the consumer. The
present invention provides a means for delivering fragrance raw
material alcohols wherein the delivery of said alcohols is
instigated by exposure to light in a manner which allows the
formulator to control the rate of alcohol delivery, and control the
impact of the photo-fragment by-products.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0005] The present invention meets the aforementioned needs in that
it has been surprisingly discovered that photo labile compounds can
be designed to release fragrance raw materials during a period of
time which is useful to the formulator of perfume comprising
compositions. One drawback to compounds which release perfumes,
photo-labile and otherwise, is the inability to control the release
half lives of said compounds. For example, a photo labile
pro-fragrance may be capable of releasing a fragrance raw material
alcohol, but the release rate is such that the amount of alcohol
which is released per unit time is so low that applying a
sufficient amount of pro-fragrance necessary to meet aesthetic
needs becomes cost prohibited, or is limited by formulation
parameters.
[0006] It has now been surprisingly discovered that aryl acrylate
photo-labile compounds can be modified in a manner which allows for
their utility in fragrance delivery systems. These fragrance
delivery systems are useful in a wide array of compositions which
deliver, in addition to other benefits, an aesthetic benefit.
[0007] The first aspect of the present invention relates to
photo-labile pro-fragrances having the formula: 2
[0008] wherein --OR is a unit derived from a fragrance raw material
alcohol, HOR; R.sup.1 is one or more electron donating groups; each
R.sup.2 is independently hydrogen, C.sub.1-C.sub.12 alkyl,
C.sub.7-C.sub.12 alkylenearyl; and mixtures thereof; X is selected
from the group consisting of --OH, --NH.sub.2, --NHR.sup.3, and
mixtures thereof; R.sup.3 is hydrogen, C.sub.1-C.sub.12 linear or
branched alkyl, C.sub.6-C.sub.10 aryl, C.sub.7-C.sub.12
alkylenearyl, and mixtures thereof.
[0009] The second aspect of the present invention relates to a
fragrance raw material delivery system comprising:
[0010] i) from about 0.001% to about 100% by weight, of a
photo-labile pro-fragrance compound having the formula: 3
[0011] wherein R is a unit derived from a fragrance raw material
alcohol; R.sup.1 is one or more electron donating groups; each
R.sup.2 is independently hydrogen, C.sub.1-C.sub.12 alkyl,
C.sub.7-C.sub.12 alkylenearyl; and mixtures thereof; X is selected
from the group consisting of --OH, --NHR.sup.3, and mixtures
thereof; R.sup.3 is H, C.sub.1-C.sub.12 alkyl, C.sub.7-C.sub.12
alkylenearyl, and mixtures thereof; and
[0012] ii) optionally from about 0.001% to about 50% by weight, of
one or more fragrance raw materials.
[0013] Another aspect of the present invention relates to personal
care and laundry and cleaning compositions which comprise the
fragrance delivery system of the present invention.
[0014] The present invention further relates to an aspect wherein
in addition to the release of a fragrance raw material alcohol, the
photo-labile trigger which is released can also itself be a
fragrance raw material ingredient.
[0015] A further aspect of the present invention relates to methods
for providing an enhanced duration or modified release
fragrance.
[0016] These and other objects, features, and advantages will
become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art from a
reading of the following detailed description and the appended
claims. All percentages, ratios and proportions herein are by
weight, unless otherwise specified. All temperatures are in degrees
Celsius (.degree. C.) unless otherwise specified. All documents
cited are in relevant part, incorporated herein by reference.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0017] The present invention relates to the surprising discovery
that aryl acrylate pro-fragrances having the formula: 4
[0018] which are capable of releasing a fragrance raw material
alcohol ROH, can be modified to have release half-lives which are
useful to formulators and/or photo-fragment by-products which are
useful to formulators.
[0019] The surprising discovery relates to the fact that R.sup.1
units which are electron-donating groups, modulate the rate at
which the photo-labile fragrance raw material is released. Without
wishing to be limited by theory, the R.sup.1 unit is capable of
modulating the first photo-isomerization step and/or the second
fragrance raw material elimination step.
[0020] The formulator can choose between combinations of R.sup.1
and/or R.sup.2 units to achieve the desired modulated release
rate.
[0021] For the purposes of the present invention, the term
"electron donating group" is defined herein as "functional groups
which will tend to donate the electrons which comprise said groups
toward another functional unit or bond, inter alia, aromatic rings,
said donation of electrons referenced with respect to the
propensity of a hydrogen atom to donate its electrons." Donating
groups according to the present invention are --O.sup.-
(de-protonated hydroxy), --N(R.sup.3).sub.2, --NHR.sup.3,
--NH.sub.2, --OH, --OR.sup.3, --NHC(O)R.sup.3,
--NR.sup.3C(O)R.sup.3, --OC(O)R.sup.3, --R.sup.3,
--CH.dbd.C(R.sup.3).sub.2, wherein R.sup.3 is hydrogen,
C.sub.1-C.sub.12 linear or branched alkyl, C.sub.6-C.sub.10 aryl,
C.sub.7-C.sub.12 alkylenearyl, and mixtures thereof.
[0022] The first aspect of electron donating groups as it relates
to the present invention comprise units defined herein as "strongly
donating units" which are units selected from the group consisting
of --O.sup.- (de-protonated hydroxy), --N(R.sup.3).sub.2,
--NHR.sup.3, --NH.sub.2, --OH, and --OR.sup.3 wherein R.sup.3 is
C.sub.1-C.sub.4 alkyl.
[0023] The second aspect of electron donating groups as it relates
to the present invention comprise units defined herein as
"moderately/weakly donating units" which are units selected from
the group consisting of --NHC(O)R.sup.3, --NR.sup.3C(O)R.sup.3,
--OC(O)R.sup.3, --R.sup.3, --CH.dbd.C(R.sup.3).sub.2, wherein
R.sup.3 is a C.sub.1-C.sub.12 linear or branched alkyl, phenyl, or
benzyl.
[0024] However, for the purposes of the present invention, as
indicated herein below, a strongly donating unit and a
moderately/weakly donating unit may be contained in the same
molecule.
[0025] The present invention also relates to the discovery that
aryl acrylate pro-fragrances having the formula: 5
[0026] which are capable of releasing a fragrance raw material
alcohol ROH and the photo-fragment by-product having the formula:
6
[0027] can be modified such that the photo-fragment by-product is a
substituted coumarin derivative having an odor impact level
especially useful to the formulators when combined with from about
0.001% to about 50% by weight of one or more fragrance raw
materials. The discovery relates to the fact that R.sup.1 units
which are electron donating groups, as defined herein above,
modulate the odor detection threshold level of the photo-fragment
by-product that is released prior to or concomitant to the release
of the photo-labile fragrance raw material.
[0028] Each R.sup.2 is independently hydrogen, C.sub.1-C.sub.12
alkyl, C.sub.7-C.sub.12 alkylenearyl; and mixtures thereof. One
embodiment of the present invention comprises each R.sup.2 unit as
a hydrogen, whereas other embodiments include alkyl, inter alia,
methyl, and alkylenearyl, inter alia, benzyl.
[0029] Another embodiment relates to aryl acrylate pro-fragrances
where the R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 units are chosen such that the
coumarin derivative released from the aryl acrylate pro-fragrance
has an odor detection threshold that is 2 times greater than the
odor detection threshold for the corresponding coumarin derivative
released from the aryl acrylate pro-fragrance where the R.sup.1 and
R.sup.2 units are all chosen to be hydrogen.
[0030] For the purposes of the present invention X is --OH,
--NH.sub.2, or --NHR.sup.3; whereas X.sup.1 is the ring closed form
of X, namely, --O--, --NH--, and --NR.sup.3-- respectively.
[0031] Without wishing to be limited by theory, the reaction
cascade which releases the fragrance raw material alcohol of the
present invention is believed to proceed as follows:
[0032] 1. A first photo-isomerization step: 7
[0033] 2. A second fragrance raw material elimination step: 8
[0034] wherein R represents the released fragrance raw material
alcohol.
[0035] One embodiment of the present invention relates to R.sup.1
units which are hydroxy. One example of a pro-fragrance wherein X
is hydroxy, an R.sup.1 unit is also hydroxy, and both R.sup.2 units
are hydrogen relates to 3-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-acrylate fragrance
raw material esters having the formula: 9
[0036] However, other embodiments include pro-fragrances having an
R.sup.1 hydroxy moiety in a ring position other than the
4-position, or to a pro-fragrance having multiple R.sup.1 hydroxy
units, for example, a pro-fragrance having the formula: 10
[0037] A further embodiment relates to R.sup.1 units having the
formula --OR.sup.3 wherein R.sup.3 is C.sub.1-C.sub.12 linear or
branched alkyl or phenyl, for example, a pro-fragrance having the
formula: 11
[0038] a pro-fragrance having the formula: 12
[0039] or a pro-fragrance having the formula: 13
[0040] A further embodiment of the present invention relates to
aryl rings substituted with one or more C.sub.1-C.sub.12 acyloxy
units having the formula R.sup.3CO.sub.2--, for example, a
pro-fragrance having the formula:
[0041] A further embodiment relates to R.sup.1 units which are
--N(R.sup.3).sub.2 units wherein R.sup.3 is hydrogen,
C.sub.1-C.sub.12 linear or branched alkyl, or mixtures thereof, for
example, a pro-fragrance having the formula: 14
[0042] X units relate to aspects of the photo-labile
pro-fragrances. A first aspect relates to X units which are --OH
and which result in the formation of derivatives of coumarin as
reaction by-products. A second aspect wherein X is --NHR.sup.3
relates to the formation of derivatives of 2-hydroxyquinoline as
reaction by-products. An example of a pro-fragrance wherein X is
--NH.sub.2, the R.sup.1 unit is hydroxy, and both R.sup.2 units are
hydrogen relates to 3-(2-amino-4-hydroxyphenyl)-ac- rylate
fragrance raw material esters having the formula: 15
[0043] In both aspects of X, R.sup.2 units can be units other than
hydrogen, for example C.sub.1 alkyl. One example of an embodiment
wherein R.sup.2 units are non-hydrogen is a pro-fragrance wherein X
is hydroxy, each R.sup.1 unit is hydrogen, one R.sup.2 unit is
methyl and the second R.sup.2 unit is hydrogen is
3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-methyl-acrylate fragrance raw material esters
having the formula: 16
[0044] A further embodiment of the X equal to hydroxy aspect
relates an R.sup.1 units which is hydroxy and at least one R.sup.2
unit which is alkyl. Fore example,
3-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3-methyl-acrylate having the formula:
17
[0045] A third aspect of the present invention relates to the
selection of R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and X units such that the rate of ROH
fragrance raw material release is increased. One embodiment of this
increased release selection relates to pro-fragrances releasing an
ROH at a rate at least 1.5 times the rate of an analog having each
R.sup.1 and both R.sup.2 units equal to hydrogen, also defined
herein for X equal to hydroxy and amino as the "baseline" or
"reference" analogs. Another aspect relates to a selection of
moieties such that the rate of fragrance alcohol release is at
least twice that rate of release by the corresponding baseline
analog. A further embodiment increases the rate at least 3 times
faster that the corresponding baseline analog.
[0046] R units are radicals derived from fragrance raw material
alcohols. For the purposes of the present invention the term
"fragrance raw material alcohol" is defined herein as "any alcohol
having a molecular weight of 100 g/mole or greater."
[0047] For the purposes of the present invention fragrance raw
material alcohols are grouped into classes, for example, alcohols
which comprise nearly the same structure will have comparable
release rates with the same electron donating R.sup.1. A
non-limiting example of these similar alcohols include geraniol and
nerol which are isomers.
[0048] For the purposes of the present invention the following are
defined herein as fragrance raw materials alcohols derived from a
terpene: geraniol, nerol, eugenol, isoeugenol, citronellol,
menthol, isopulegol, terpineol, borneol, isoborneol, linalool,
tetrahydrolinalool, myrcenol, dihydromyrcenol, muguol, farnesol and
mixtures thereof. However, the formulator will realize these are
not the only terpene raw material alcohols but are those which
comprise one embodiment of the present invention.
[0049] Non-limiting examples of R units derived from a non-terpene
alcohol include those selected from the group consisting of
cinnamyl alcohol, methylcinnamyl alcohol, Majantol, Hydrotropic
alcohol, nopol, Lavandulol, carvenol, cuminyl alcohol, thymol, and
mixtures thereof.
[0050] For the purposes of the present invention, the following are
defined herein as "blossom alcohols":
4-(1-methylethyl)cyclo-hexanemethan- ol,
2,4-dimethyl-3-cyclohexen-1-ylmethanol,
2,4-dimethylcyclohex-1-ylmetha- nol,
2,4,6-trimethyl-3-cyclohexen-1-ylmethanol, 2-phenylethanol,
1-(4-isopropylcyclohexyl)ethanol, 2-(o-methylphenyl)ethanol,
2-(m-methylphenyl)ethanol, 2-(p-methylphenyl)-ethanol,
2,2-dimethyl-3-(3-methylphenyl)propan-1-ol, 3-phenyl-2-propen-1-ol,

alcohol, 2-methoxy-4-(1-propenyl)phenol,
2-methoxy-4-(2-propenyl)phenol, 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde,
and mixtures thereof.
[0051] Fragrance raw material alcohols suitable for use in the
present invention are described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,919,752 Morelli
et al., issued Jul. 6, 1999; U.S. Pat. No. 6,013,618 Morelli et
al., issued Jan. 11, 2000; U.S. Pat. No. 6,077,821 Morelli et al.,

Jan. 23, 2001; all of which are incorporated herein by
reference.
[0052] The present invention further relates to an aspect wherein
in addition to the release of a fragrance raw material alcohol, the
photo-labile trigger which is released can also itself be a
fragrance raw material ingredient. For example, the material
released by the X equals oxygen aspect (coumarin derivatives) may
itself be a fine fragrance component, fragrance raw material, or
perfume adjunct ingredient. The same is equally true for the X
equals nitrogen aspect (2-hydroxyquinoline derivatives).
[0053] Or in another embodiment, the coumarin derivative which is
release may provide a different benefit, for example, once the ring
closure reaction is complete, the resulting compound may have
sufficient conjugation to be a colored material, and therefore
serve as a visual signal.
[0054] The following relates to methods for preparing the
photo-labile pro-fragrances of the present invention.
[0055] A first procedure relates to the conversion of a starting
material having formula 1 to the aryl acrylate photo-labile
pro-fragrance 3 by way of the intermediate aryl acrylic acid 2 as
depicted in the following scheme: 18
[0056] In the case wherein X is equal to oxygen (coumarin
derivatives) the preparation begins with a von Pechmann
condensation as in the example of the reaction of recorcinol with
acetoacetic acid ethyl ester depicted in the following scheme:

[0070] The present invention relates to a fragrance delivery system
for providing an enhanced and enduring fragrance aesthetic benefit
using the photo-labile pro-fragrances described herein above.
[0071] The first aspect of the delivery systems relates to systems
comprising:
[0072] i) from about 0.001% to about 100%, in another embodiment

and Flavor Chemicals, Vols. I and II; Steffen Arctander Allured
Pub. Co. (1994) both of which are included herein by reference.
[0076] One embodiment of the present invention relates to a system
comprising:
[0077] i) from about 0.001% to about 90% by weight, of a
photo-labile pro-fragrance compound described herein above;
