Abstract
An aryl-substituted alkanal compound having a molecular weight of less than 300 g/mol and which bears a substituent on the aryl ring ortho to a substituent bearing the aldehyde functionality. Said compounds are useful as perfume ingredients in personal care and household care products.
Claims10
A personal care or household care composition perfumed with an aryl-substituted alkanal compound having a molecular weight of less than 300 g/mol and which bears a substituent on the aryl ring ortho to a substituent bearing the aldehyde functionality, which composition is free of any aryl-substituted alkanal odourants that are unsubstituted on the aryl ring at a position ortho to the substituent bearing the aldehyde functionality, and is optionally free of 3-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-2-methylpropanal.
A method of imparting muguet odour characteristics to a fine fragrance or consumer product comprising the step of adding thereto an aryl-substituted alkanal compound having a molecular weight of less than 300 g/mol and which bears a substituent on the aryl ring ortho to a substituent bearing the aldehyde functionality, and selectively excluding from said fine fragrance or consumer product any aryl-substituted alkanal compounds, which are unsubstituted on the ring at the position ortho to the substituent containing aldehyde functionality, said selective addition or exclusion being based on the susceptibility of said compounds to enzymatically-mediated degradation to their benzoic acid derivatives when incubated with hepatocytes isolated from rats, said compounds being suitable for addition on the basis that they do not degrade to their benzoic acid derivatives, whereas said compounds being excluded on the basis that they do degrade to their benzoic acid derivatives.
