Abstract

The present invention is directed to novel cyclopropanecarbonitrile compounds of the general formula

wherein X is a hydrogen, or a straight, branched, or cyclic hydrocarbon moiety consisting of less then 30 carbon atoms and containing single and/or double bonds; Z is a hydrogen or a straight, branched, or cyclic hydrocarbon moiety consisting of 1 to 30 carbon atoms and containing single and/or double bonds and Y is a nitrile.

Claims

1. A compound of formula

2. The compound of claim 1, wherein X is hydrocarbon moiety consisting of less than 15 carbon atoms.

3. The compound of claim 1, wherein X is hydrocarbon moiety consisting of less than 7 carbon atoms.

4. The compound of claim 1, wherein Z is hydrocarbon moiety consisting of less than 15 carbon atoms.

5. The compound of claim 1, wherein Z is hydrocarbon moiety consisting of less than 7 carbon atoms.

6. A method of improving, enhancing or modifying a fragrance formulation through the addition of an olfactory acceptable amount of the compound of claim 1.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the fragrance formulation is incorporated into a product selected from the group consisting of a perfume, a cologne, a toilet water, a cosmetic product, a personal care product, a fabric care product, a cleaning product and an air freshener.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the cleaning product is selected from the group consisting of a detergent, a dishwashing composition, a scrubbing compound and a window cleaner.

9. The method of claim 6, wherein the amount added into the fragrance formulation is from about 0.005 to about 10 weight percent.

10. The method of claim 6, wherein the amount added into the fragrance formulation is from about 0.5 to about 8 weight percent.

11. The method of claim 6, wherein the amount added into the fragrance formulation is from about 1 to about 7 weight percent.

12. A fragrance formulation containing an olfactory effective amount of the compound of claim 1.

13. A fragrance product containing the compound of claim 1.
