  • Publication number: 20020119909
    Abstract: The present invention includes a process for enantioselective preparation of a non-racemic compound, which is either usable as a fragrance or flavor component or is convertible to a fragrance or flavor component by one or more additional reaction steps. The process includes the step of contacting either a substrate capable of forming a non-racemic compound by an enantioselective reaction and a co-reactant in the presence of a non-racemic catalyst, or a non-racemic or enantiopure substrate and a co-reactant, optionally in the presence of a racemic or non-racemic catalyst. The contacting is carried out at a temperature and length of time that is sufficient to produce the non-racemic compound with high optical purity. The process is used in stereoselective preparation of enantiomerically enriched intermediates useful in the preparation of non-racemic, chiral flavor and fragrance components.

  • Patent number: 6306818
    Abstract: The invention relates to fragrance precursors, In particular, the invention relates to the use of several classes of compounds which may act as fragrance precursors, e,g., in cosmetic products such as deodorants and antiperspirants and in laundry products such as detergents and fabric softners. These compounds are odorless, but upon contacting the skin as example, in skin care compositions or in personal care compositions, produce fragrances. The compounds also produce fragrances when used in the presence of lipases, e.g. as used in (laundry) detergents, thus providing a prolongation of the fabric scenting effect. The compounds under consideration are compounds of the formula I: The substituents are defined in the specification.

  • Patent number: 6238655
    Abstract: Disclosed are &agr;-amides of L-amino acids that produce fragrance or attenuate or mask malodor. In particular, threonine amides, glycine amides, serine amides, and alanine amides can be used in the invention. Such &agr;-amides of L-amino acids are useful for generating pleasant fragrances or attenuating or masking malodor upon cleavage of the &agr;-amides of L-amino acids by bacteria in axillae. The &agr;-amides of L-amino acids can be incorporated into skin treatment compositions and personal care products, such as deodorants, body sprays and antiperspirants, and used in methods for producing fragrance or attenuating or masking malodor.

  • Patent number: 6218355
    Abstract: The present invention describes a fragrance delivery system which releases fragrant aldehydes or ketones and/or fragrant compounds containing an olefin function upon exposure to light. This system comprises &agr;-keto esters of formula in which R′* and R″* have the meaning as defined in the application and which are generally, in case of R′*, an alkyl group carrying an abstractable hydrogen in &ggr;-position relative to the &agr;-keto function and carrying a moiety from which is derived a fragrant compound containing an olefin function, and, in case of R″*, the organic part of a primary or secondary alcohol from R″*OH which is derived a fragrant aldehyde or ketone.
