Definitions

  • This invention relates to novel esters of polyhydroxy compounds which may be used a flavorants in tobacco.
  • n is an integer from 1 to 4
  • R is a radical selected from the group consisting of acyclic alkyls having from 1-12 carbon atoms, vanillin and phenethyl
  • R is a radical of a polyhydroxy compound selected from the group consisting of monosaccharides, disaccharides, trisaccharides, polysaccharides and glycols
  • X is 'a radical selected from the group consisting of oxygen and sulfur.
  • EXAMPLE 2 Tri-O-(phenethoxycarbonyl) glucose Into a reaction flask immersed in a Dry Ice-acetone bath at 75 C. is introduced 48.7 gm. (0.49 mole) of liquid phosgene. A sample of 40.0 gm. (0.33 mole) of phenethyl alcohol, dissolved in 25 ml. of n-hexane, is added to the phosgene over a period of one hour, while the solution is being stirred. The reaction flask is then allowed to reach room temperature and the phosgene allowed to reflux for five hours. At the end of this period the excess phosgene, hexane and the hydrogen chloride formed during the reaction is removed under reduced pressure.
  • the crude phenethyl chloroformate is mixed with 100 ml. of ether and the solution washed once with 100 ml. of an aqueous solution containing 11.0 grns. sodium bicarbonate, and twice with 100 ml. portions of water.
  • the organic layer is dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and the solvent evaporated at reduced pressure yielding 59.5 gm. (99% of the theoretical) phenethyl chloroformate.
  • the product is purified by column chromatography using silica gel (containing 6% water) as the adsorbent.
  • the product is eluted with ether. Evaporation of the solvent deposited 15 gm. of purified mono-O-(vanillinoxycarbonyl) glucose.
  • the vanillin content determined by vapor phase chromatography following saponification with alcoholic NaOH, was found to be 35%. Pyrolysis at 300 C. yielded 38.4% vanillin. The theoretical vanillin content based on an average formula of (C H O )C H O is 42.7%.
  • This compound upon decomposition produces a strong disagreeable odor and typifies the use of this type of compound for use as fire warning agents.
  • the more disagreeable the odor and the more volatile the material the more suitable it will be for this purpose.
  • the odor would permeate the surrounding area and give warning of fire to those in the area.
  • the compounds may be incorporated in ceiling paints or in wallboard and would serve as fire warning agents if the substance in which they were impregnated were to he heated beyond the point of decomposition of the fire warning agents.
  • the amounts of the compounds of this invention which are to be employed as fiavorants for tobacco or as fire warning agents will obviously depend to a great extent upon the nature of the odoriferous material employed and also upon the effect which it is desired to achieve. Obviously, where a very strong odoriferous compound is employed, a lesser amount would have to be used than would be the case where a milder odor is involved.
  • the material in which the compound is to be incorporated also affects the amount of the compound to be employed. For instance in tobacco products the amount to be employed will to a large extent be determined not only by the nature of the compound itself but also by the aroma which is sought, i.e. whether a mild flavor or a strong aromatic one is desired. Generally however, we have found that about 0.001 to 0.5 percent of the polyhydroxy compound ester based on the weight of the tobacco is quite satisfactory.
  • Cigarettes prepared as described in the above examples Were evaluated for their smoke characteristics by an experienced taste panel. Cigarettes prepared as described in Example 5 exhibited a light sweet fragrance and flavor and produced a balanced smoke flavor spectrum. The light sweet fragrance and flavor were judged to be characteristic qualities of phenethyl alcohol. Cigarettes prepared as described in Example 6 produced a sweet flavor which was judged to be distinctly vanillin-like.
  • R" is a radical selected from the group consisting of aliphatic and alicyclic alkyls having from 2 to 10 carbon atoms, vanillin and phenethyl; and R is a polyhydroxy compound selected from the group consisting of monosaccharides, disaccharides, trisaccharides, polysaccharides and glycols.
  • the carbonate esters can be decomposed at a rate which is dependent on the temperature and on the pH of the environment thereby releasing fiavorants at a controlled rate.
  • the rate of decomposition increases with increasing pH of the medium in contact with the compounds.
  • a tobacco smoking article according to claim 1 wherein said compound is tri-O-(phenethoxycarbonyl) glucose.
