Abstract

The present invention is related to substituted butanol derivatives of the formula:

wherein R is an unsubstituted or substituted C 1-6 straight chain alkyl, an unsubstituted or substituted C 3-6 branched chain alkyl, an unsubstituted or substituted C 3-6 straight chain alkenyl, an unsubstituted or substituted C 3-6 branched chain alkenyl, an unsubstituted or substituted C 3-6 cycloalkyl, an unsubstituted or substituted C 1-6 alkoxy, nitrile, halo, amino, an unsubstituted or substituted C 1-6 alkylamino, an unsubstituted or substituted C 1-6 dialkylamino, carboxy-C 1-6 alkylamino, carboxy-C 1-6 dialkylamino, an unsubstituted or substituted acetoxy, carboxy, an unsubstituted or substituted carboxyethyl, an unsubstituted or substituted C 1-6 alkylcarbonyl, an unsubstituted or substituted C 1-6 alkylcarboxy, an unsubstituted or substituted C 1-6 alkylthio, an unsubstituted or substituted C 1-6 alkyloxy, carboxamido, an unsubstituted or substituted C 1-6 alkylcarboxamido or an unsubstituted or substituted C 1-6 dialkylcarboxamido. Such compounds are useful in flavor or flavor compositions.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A fragrance composition comprising:
a compound represented by
the formula (VI):

wherein
R 6 and R 7 are, independently, a hydrogen or an unsubstituted or substituted C 1-6 straight chain alkyl, an unsubstituted or substituted C 3-6 branched chain alkyl group and n=0-1; and
a fragrance carrier or fragrance base.

2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the compound is present in an amount from about 0.001% to about 30% by weight.

3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the fragrance carrier is an emulsifying agent, an encapsulating material, natural or modified starches, polymers, gums, pectins, gelatinous or porous cellular materials, or waxes.

4. A consumer product comprising the composition of claim 1 .

5. The consumer product of claim 4 , where the consumer product is an air care product, candle, perfume, cologne, personal care product, cosmetic, detergent, fabric care product, or household cleaning agent.

6. A method of improving, enhancing, or modifying the olfactory properties of a product comprising adding to the product an olfactory effective amount of a fragrance composition comprising:
a compound represented by the formula (VI):

wherein R 6 and R 7 are, independently, a hydrogen or an unsubstituted or substituted C 1-6 straight chain alkyl, an unsubstituted or substituted C 3-6 branched chain alkyl group and n=0-1; and
a fragrance carrier or fragrance base.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the olfactory effective amount is from about 0.001% to about 30% by weight.
