Abstract

The present invention relates to the novel use of a carboxylate compound as a fragrance material.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A fragrance formulation containing an olfactory acceptable amount of ethyl 4-methyl-2-oxocyclohexane-1-carboxylate, a tautomer thereof, or a mixture thereof.

2. The fragrance formulation of claim 1 , wherein the olfactory acceptable amount is from about 0.005 to about 50 weight percent of the fragrance formulation.

3. The fragrance formulation of claim 1 , wherein the olfactory acceptable amount is from about 0.5 to about 25 weight percent of the fragrance formulation.

4. The fragrance formulation of claim 1 , wherein the olfactory acceptable amount is from about 1 to about 10 weight percent of the fragrance formulation.

5. The fragrance formulation of claim 1 further comprising a polymer.

6. The fragrance formulation of claim 5 , wherein the polymer is selected from the group consisting of polyacrylate, polyurea, polyurethane, polyacrylamide, polyester, polyether, polyamide, poly(acrylate-co-acrylamide), starch, silica, gelatin and gum Arabic, alginate, chitosan, polylactide, poly(melamine-formaldehyde), poly(urea-formaldehyde) and a combination thereof.

7. A fragrance product containing the fragrance formulation of claim 1 .

8. The fragrance product of claim 7 , wherein the fragrance product is selected from the group consisting of a perfume, a cologne, toilet water, a cosmetic product, a personal care product, a fabric care product, a cleaning product and an air freshener, a bar soap, a liquid soap, a shower gel, a foam bath, a cosmetic, a skin care product, a hair care product, a deodorant, an antiperspirant, a feminine care product, a baby care product, a family care product, a fabric product, an air care product, a fragrance delivery system, a cosmetic preparation, a cleaning agent, a disinfectant, a washing agent, a dental and oral hygiene product, a health care and nutritional product and a food product.

9. The fragrance product of claim 8 , wherein the cleaning product is selected from the group consisting of a detergent, a dishwashing material, a scrubbing composition, a glass cleaner, a metal cleaner, a countertop cleaner, a floor cleaner, a carpet cleaner, a toilet cleaner and a bleach additive.

10. The fragrance product of claim 8 , wherein the washing agent is selected from the group consisting of a laundry detergent and a rinse additive.

11. A method of improving, enhancing or modifying a fragrance formulation through the addition of an olfactory acceptable amount of ethyl 4-methyl-2-oxocyclohexane-1-carboxylate, a tautomer thereof, or a mixture thereof.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the olfactory acceptable amount is from about 0.005 to about 50 weight percent of the fragrance formulation.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the olfactory acceptable amount is from about 0.1 to about 25 weight percent of the fragrance formulation.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the olfactory acceptable amount is from about 0.5 to about 10 weight percent of the fragrance formulation.

15. A method of counteracting a malodor in an air space or a substrate comprising the step of introducing to the air space or the substrate a composition comprising a malodor counteracting effective amount of ethyl 4-methyl-2-oxocyclohexane-1-carboxylate, a tautomer thereof, or a mixture thereof.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the malodor counteracting effective amount is from about 0.01 to about 20 weight percent of the substrate.

17. The method of claim 15 , wherein the malodor counteracting effective amount is from about 0.05 to about 10 weight percent of the substrate.

18. The method of claim 15 , wherein the malodor counteracting effective amount is from about 0.2 milligrams to about 2 grams per cubic meter of air in the air space.

19. The method of claim 15 , wherein the malodor counteracting effective amount is from about 4 milligrams to about 0.2 grams per cubic meter of air in the air space.
