Abstract

Fragrance compounds having a unique chemical structure are provided, including 2-methoxy-2-methylheptane and derivatives thereof. The fragrance compounds can have fruity, radish, and/or herbaceous odor notes with a strong top note. The fragrance compounds can be used alone or incorporated into a fragrance composition and/or consumer product to modify or enhance the odor of the fragrance composition and/or consumer product.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A fragrance composition comprising a fragrance compound selected from the group consisting of:
2-methoxy-2-methylheptane;
7-methoxy-2,4-dimethyloct-2-ene;
7-methoxy-2,4,7-trimethyloct-2-ene;
7-methoxy-2,4-dimethyloctane;
4-methoxy-2,6-dimethylheptane;
stereoisomers thereof; and
combinations thereof; and
further comprising an additional fragrance compound selected from a citrus compound, a floral compound, a fruity compound, a gourmand compound, a green compound, a musk compound, a spicy compound, a woody compound, and combinations thereof.

2. The fragrance composition of claim 1 , wherein the fragrance compound is 2-methoxy-2-methylheptane.

3. The fragrance composition of claim 1 , further comprising a solvent.

4. A method of modifying the odor properties of a fragrance composition by adding to the fragrance composition an olfactory effective quantity of a fragrance compound selected from the group consisting of:
2-methoxy-2-methylheptane;
7-methoxy-2,4-dimethyloct-2-ene;
7-methoxy-2,4,7-trimethyloct-2-ene;
7-methoxy-2,4-dimethyl octane;
4-methoxy-2,6-dimethylheptane;
stereoisomers thereof; and
combinations thereof, and
an additional fragrance compound selected from a citrus compound, a floral compound, a fruity compound, a gourmand compound, a green compound, a musk compound, a spicy compound, a woody compound, and combinations thereof.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the fragrance compound is 2-methoxy-2-methylheptane.

6. A consumer product, comprising a consumer product base and a fragrance compound selected from the group consisting of:
2-methoxy-2-methylheptane;
7-methoxy-2,4-dimethyloct-2-ene;
7-methoxy-2,4,7-trimethyloct-2-ene;
7-methoxy-2,4-dimethyl octane;
4-methoxy-2,6-dimethylheptane;
stereoisomers thereof; and
combinations thereof, and
an additional fragrance compound selected from a citrus compound, a floral compound, a fruity compound, a gourmand compound, a green compound, a musk compound, a spicy compound, a woody compound, and combinations thereof.

7. The consumer product of claim 6 , wherein the fragrance compound is 2-methoxy-2-methylheptane.

8. The consumer product of claim 6 , wherein the consumer product is selected from a fine fragrance, a personal care product, a home care product, and an air care product.

9. The consumer product of claim 8 , wherein the fine fragrance is selected from parfum, extrait de parfum, eau de parfum, millesime, parfum de toilette, eau de toilette, eau de cologne, body splash, after shave, body mists, and baby colognes.

10. The consumer product of claim 8 , wherein the personal care product is selected from lotions, creams, moisturizers, body washes, hand soaps, shampoos, conditioners, and soaps.

13. A method of modifying the odor properties of a consumer product by adding to a consumer product base an olfactory effective quantity of a fragrance compound selected from the group consisting of:
2-methoxy-2-methylheptane;
7-methoxy-2,4-dimethyloct-2-ene;
7-methoxy-2,4,7-trimethyloct-2-ene;
7-methoxy-2,4-dimethyl octane;
4-methoxy-2,6-dimethylheptane;
stereoisomers thereof; and
combinations thereof, and
an additional fragrance compound selected from a citrus compound, a floral compound, a fruity compound, a gourmand compound, a green compound, a musk compound, a spicy compound, a woody compound, and combinations thereof.

14. A method of manufacturing a consumer product, comprising:
admixing a fragrance compound selected from the group consisting of:
2-methoxy-2-methylheptane;
7-methoxy-2,4-dimethyloct-2-ene;
7-methoxy-2,4,7-trimethyloct-2-ene;
7-methoxy-2,4-dimethyl octane;
4-methoxy-2,6-dimethylheptane;
stereoisomers thereof; and
combinations thereof, and
an additional fragrance compound selected from a citrus compound, a floral compound, a fruity compound, a gourmand compound, a green compound, a musk compound, a spicy compound, a woody compound, and combinations thereof,
with a consumer product base.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the fragrance compound is incorporated into a fragrance composition prior to admixing with the consumer product base.

16. A fragrance compound, selected from the group consisting of:
7-methoxy-2,4-dimethyloct-2-ene;
7-methoxy-2,4,7-trimethyloct-2-ene;
7-methoxy-2,4-dimethyl octane; and
stereoisomers thereof.
