In the context of the present invention the olfactory effective amount is to be un- derstood as the amount of the at least one compound of formula (I) and/or of the at least one compound of formula (II) in a flavor and fragrance formulation will contribute to its particular olfactory characteristics, but the olfactory effect of the flavor and fragrance formulation will be the sum of the effects of each of the perfumes or fragrance ingredients. Thus the compounds of the invention can be used to alter the aroma characteristics of the flavor and fragrance formulation, or by modifying the olfactory reaction contributed by another ingredient in the composition. The amount will vary depending on many factors including other ingredients, their relative amounts and the effect that is desired. As used herein, "consumer product (= final product)" means a composition for use as a consumer product to fulfill specific actions, such as cleaning, softening, and caring or the like. Examples of such products include fine perfumery, e.g. perfume and eau de toilette; fabric care, household products and personal care products such as laundry care detergents, rinse conditioner, personal cleansing composition, detergent for dishwasher, surface cleaner; laundry products, e.g. softener, bleach, detergent; body care products, e.g. shampoo, shower gel; air care products and cosmetics, e.g. deodorant, vanishing creme. This list of products is given by way of illustration and is not to be regarded as being in any way limiting.
The compounds of formula (I) and the compounds of formula (II) may be prepared using methods known to the person skilled in the art of organic synthesis.
Furthermore the present invention relates to the following compounds of formulae (IV), (V), (VI), (VII), (IX), (X), (XI) and (XII) which are novel compounds
Thus, the present invention is also directed to their synthesis as shown in Fig. 1.
The invention is now further illustrated in the following non-limiting examples. Examples All compounds were evaluated by a panel of four persons for their intensity whereby a range of 1 to 10 was used (1 = very low intensity; 10 = very high intensity). Furthermore these four persons also described the odor of the compounds. The tenancy was evaluated by one person after 3, 6, 8, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours. For such evaluations a piece of paper was immersed in each single liquid compound as such.
