Title: Flavoring with a 1-hydroxymethyl-2-acyl cyclopropane derivative

Description:
This is a divisional of application Ser. No. 422,486, filed 9/23/82 now U.S. Pat. No. 4,435,428. 
    
    
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     The instant invention is directed to 1-hydroxymethyl-2-acyl cyclopropane derivatives having the generic structure: ##STR2## wherein Z represents hydrogen, acyl having the structure: ##STR3## and substituted oxyacyl having the structure: ##STR4## and cyclic condensation products thereof having the structure: ##STR5## wherein R 1 , R 2  and R 3  represent C 1  -C 10  alkyl; wherein R 1  &#39; is C 1  -C 10  alkylidene; and wherein R 4 , R 5 , R 6  and R 7  represent hydrogen or C 1  -C 3  lower alkyl, processes for preparing same involving the reaction of halo methyl oxirane derivatives defined according to the structure: ##STR6## wherein X represents chloro, bromo or iodo with substituted 1,3-propanediones having the structure: ##STR7## and organoleptic uses thereof in augmenting or enhancing the aroma or taste of consumable materials. 
     There has been considerable work performed relating to substances which can be used to impart (or alter, modify or enhance) flavors and fragrances to (or in) various consumable materials. These substances are used to diminish the use of natural materials, some of which may be in short supply and to provide more uniform properties in the finished product. 
     Sweet, green, herbaceous, fruity, pineapple, grapefruit-like, leathery, coconut-like, and jasmine-like aromas with mushroom-like and anisic undertones are particularly desirable in several types of perfume compositions and for use in perfumed articles and colognes. 
     Sweet, fruity, fresh pineapple-like, fresh grapefruit-like, coconut-like and mushroom-like aroma and taste nuances are particularly desirable for many uses in foodstuff flavors, particularly tropical fruit flavors. 
     Compounds containing carbonyl functions and cyclopropyl moieties are known for use in the art of perfumery and flavors. Thus, substituted cyclopropane derivatives such as ethyl chrysanthemumate (2,2-dimethyl-3-(2-methylpropenyl)cyclopropane carboxylic acid, ethyl ester) having the structure: ##STR8## is disclosed as Compound 1187 in &#34;Perfume and Flavor Chemicals (Aroma Chemicals)&#34; Volume 1, Arctander published 1969 as having a powerful, winey, herbaceous, sweet and ethereal, very pleasant odor of intriguing complexity. Arctander states that this material has spicy-herbaceous, warm and almost green-floral notes which resemble certain notes in a jasmine complex. However, no indication exists that this type of compound augments or enhances the nuances stated in the instant application. 
     Furthermore, U.S. Pat. No. 3,926,860 issued on Dec. 16, 1975 (the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein) states that as a result of analyzing natural patchouli oil, it was found that cis-2-n-pentylcyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid having the structure: ##STR9## is a key component for patchouli fragrance having a patchouli-like, animal, leathery note and having the capability of imparting such notes to perfumes and cosmetic compositions. 
     The compound having the structure: ##STR10## is indicated to have fragrance properties which are surprisingly different in kind from other known compounds and compositions in the &#34;prior art&#34;, to wit: 
     i. Beilstein, Volume E III 9, page 101 disclosing 2-n-hexyl-cyclopropane-carboxylic acid-(1) (no disclosure of aroma); 
     ii. Snejkal et al., Collection Czech. Chem. Communications 25, 1746-50 (1960) discloses interalia, cis-isobutyl cyclopropane carboxylic acid (no disclosure of aroma); 
     iii. Danilkina and D&#39;yakonov, Zh. Obshch. Khin., 34 (9) 3129-30 (1964) discloses 2-butyl cyclopropane carboxylic acid (cis/trans mixture with no aroma disclosed); 
     iv. Dolgii et al., Farmakol. Toksikol. 30(2), 199-203 (1967) discloses 2-n-pentylcyclopropane carboxylic acid (no reference made to isomeric configuration of to aroma); 
     v. D&#39;yakonov et al., Zh. Obschei. Khim. 35, 2169 (1965) discloses mixtures of cis and trans-2-pentylcyclopropane carboxylic acid, the trans acid being in the major proportion. No reference is made to aroma; 
     vi. Julia et al. Bull Soc. Chim. France 1970, 1805 discloses cis-2-n-butyl cyclopropane carboxylic acid ethyl ester at page 1808 without reference being made to its aroma. 
     The 1-hydroxymethyl-2-acyl cyclopropane derivatives of the instant invention have chemical structures and properties different in kind from the chemical structures and properties of the compounds of the prior art. 
     Furthermore, the processes for producing the 1-hydroxymethyl-2-acyl cyclopropane derivatives of our invention are novel. Organic Synthesis, Volume IV, John Wiley &amp; Sons Publishing Company, 1969 at page 597 discloses a technique for making acyl cyclopropane derivatives according to the reaction sequence: ##STR11## but the mechanism of our invention is neither expressly nor implicitly set forth therein. 
     Indeed, the prior art teaches away from out invention as is seen by Mesropyan et al. at Chem. Abstracts, Volume 78, 1973, 135590y which teaches the reaction: ##STR12## and further, as seen by Arbuzov et al. Volume 80, 1974, Chem. Abstracts 47884h which teaches the reaction: ##STR13## 
     Indeed, no rearrangement of the cyclopropyl moiety occurs when reacting the epichlorohydrin with a difunctional moiety as is shown in the reaction: ##STR14## disclosed in Chem. Abstracts 137316n, Volume 78, 1973 (abstract of South African patent 7107,767).

     THE INVENTION 
     It has now been discovered that novel solid and liquid foodstuffs, chewing gums, medicinal products, toothpastes, chewing tobaccos and flavoring compositions therefor having sweet, fruity, pineapple, grapefruit-like, coconut-like and mushroom aroma and taste characteristics, and novel perfume compositions, colognes and perfumed articles having sweet, green, herbaceous, fruity, pineapple, grapefruit-like, leathery, coconut-like, jasmine-like and woody aromas with mushroom-like and anisic-like undertones may be provided by 1-hydroxymethyl-2-acyl cyclopropane derivatives defined according to the structure: ##STR34## wherein Z represents hydrogen, acyl having the structure: ##STR35## and substituted oxyacyl having the structure: ##STR36## and condensation products thereof defined according to the structure: ##STR37## wherein R 1 , R 2  and R 3  represent C 1-C   10  alkyl; wherein R 1  &#39; represents C 1  -C 10  alkylidene; and wherein R 4 , R 5 , R 6  and R 7  represent hydrogen or C 1  -C 3  lower alkyl. 
     Our invention contemplates various geometric and stereo isomers, for example, the isomers defined according to the generic structure: ##STR38## and other &#34;cis&#34; and &#34;trans&#34; isomers. The compounds defined according to the structure: ##STR39## and the compounds defined according to the structure: ##STR40## are indicative of mixtures of &#34;cis&#34; or &#34;trans&#34; isomers or individual &#34;cis&#34; or &#34;trans&#34; isomers. 
     The 1-hydroxymethyl-2-acyl cyclopropane derivatives of our invention may be prepared according to a novel process of our invention by reacting a halomethyloxirane having the structure: ##STR41## with a disubstituted propanedione having the structure: ##STR42## in the presence of an alkali metal alkoxide to form an ester having the structure: ##STR43## This ester may be isolated and used &#34;as is&#34; for its organoleptic properties or it may be further hydrolyzed to form an alcohol having the structure: ##STR44## This alcohol may be used &#34;as is&#34; for its organoleptic properties or it may be further reacted with a dialkyl carbonate having the structure: ##STR45## thereby forming the carbonate having the structure: ##STR46## which is isolated and used for its organoleptic properties; or this alcohol may be condensed according to the reaction: ##STR47## by heating the alcohol and removing a molecule of water to form the compound having the structure: ##STR48## 
     The reaction between the disubstituted propanedione and the halo methyl oxirane derivative is shown according to the following scheme: ##STR49## 
     The reaction of the resulting ester with a hydrolysis agent is shown according to the following scheme: ##STR50## 
     In preparing the compound having the structure: ##STR51## and in purifying same, at higher temperatures of distillation, these compounds will self-condense thereby forming compounds defined according to the structure: ##STR52## wherein R 1  &#39; is C 1  -C 10  alkylidene. If the distillation is carried out at a very high temperature, high yields of compounds defined according to the structure: ##STR53## will be formed. These compounds are also useful for their aroma properties. 
     The reaction of the resulting alcohol with the dialkyl carbonate to form the carbonate derivative is shown according to the reaction: ##STR54## 
     The reaction mechanism to form the acetate using the alkali metal alkoxide is shown thusly: ##STR55## 
     In examining the foregoing mechanism, the first compound that is formed can be depicted according to the structure: ##STR56## wherein the alkali metal alkoxide, M, O, R&#34; is involved in the formation of the intermediate wherein M represents alkali metal including lithium, potassium and sodium and R&#34; is alkyl including ethyl, methyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, secondary butyl and t-butyl. The compound having the structure: ##STR57## rearranges to form the compound having the structure: ##STR58## which, in turn, rearranges to form the ester having the structure: ##STR59## 
     In place of the halomethyloxirane, equivalent compounds may be used, for example, those defined according to the structure: ##STR60## or according to the structure: ##STR61## wherein X is halogen including chloro, bromo and iodo and X 1  and X 2  are the same or different and each represents chloro, bromo or iodo. 
     In carrying out the reaction between the substituted 1,3-propanedione and the halo methyl oxirane or substitute therefor, the mole ratio of epihalo oxirane:substituted propanedione may vary from 0.5:1 up to 1:0.5 with a preferred mole ratio of halo methyl oxirane:substituted propanedione being about 1:1. The mole ratio of alkali metal alkoxide:substituted 1,3-propanedione may vary from about 3:1 down to about 1:1 with a preferred mole ratio of alkali metal alkoxide:substituted 1,3-propanedione being about 2:1. The reaction takes place in a non-reactive solvent and preferred solvents are methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, n-propanol and isopropanol. The reaction temperature may vary from about 70° C. up to about 120° C. and is preferably carried out at reflux conditions. The reaction pressure may vary from 0.5 atmospheres up to about 20 atmospheres but is most conveniently 1 atmosphere. Accordingly, the reaction is preferred to be carried out at a temperature in the range of from about 65° C. up to about 95° C. at atmospheric pressure. The time of reaction may vary from about 1 hour up to about 12 hours depending upon the temperature and pressure of reaction with higher temperatures of reaction giving rise to a lesser amount of required time of reaction to obtain the desired yield. At the end of the reaction, the reaction product may be isolated and fractionally distilled (in the event that it is desired to be used for its organoleptic properties). This product is the ester defined according to the structure: ##STR62## On the other hand, the resulting reaction product may be hydrolyzed without isolation, in situ in order to form the alcohol defined according to the structure: ##STR63## The hydrolysis is carried out at a temperature of from about 0° C. up to about 100° C. with a preferred hydrolysis temperature of between 60° and 85° C. using aqueous dilute mineral acid such as dilute hydrochloric acid, dilute sulfuric acid or dilute phosphoric acid. Preferably the mineral acid is between 2% and 20% hydrochloric acid. In addition, aqueous solutions of salts which have a pH of between 0.5 and 3 may be used, e.g. aqueous ammonium chloride. 
     The resulting hydrolysis product having the structure: ##STR64## may be isolated from the reaction mass and fractionally distilled or it may be further reacted after isolation from the reaction mass, with a dialkyl carbonate defined according to the structure: ##STR65## 
     Thus, the carbonates of our invention defined according to the structure: ##STR66## are prepared by reaction of the compounds defined according to the structure: ##STR67## with the dialkyl carbonates having the structure: ##STR68## in the presence of an alkali metal alkoxide such as sodium methoxide, sodium ethoxide, sodium t-butoxide, potassium methoxide, potassium ethoxide and potassium t-butoxide. The reaction between the alcohol and the dialkyl carbonate takes place in the absence of any additional solvent. The mole ratio range of dialkyl carbonate:alcohol may vary from about 3 moles dialkyl carbonate:0.5 moles alcohol down to 1 mole dialkyl carbonate:1 mole alcohol. It is preferred that the mole ratio of dialkyl carbonate:alcohol be about 2:1. The ratio of alkali metal alkoxide:dialkyl carbonate may vary from about 0.1:1 up to about 1:1 with a preferred ratio of alkali metal alkoxide:dialkyl carbonate of 1:2 (mole ratio) being preferred. 
     The reaction temperature range may vary from about 50° C. up to about 100° C. and the reaction pressure may vary from about atmospheric pressure up to about 10 atmospheres. Higher temperatures of reaction necessitate higher pressures over the reaction mass in order to prevent the reaction product from evaporating therefrom. 
     During the reaction, the alkyl ester reaction product is continuously removed as by using a Bidwell trap apparatus. 
     Examples of the reaction products prepared in accordance with the process of our invention and their organoleptic properties are as follows:

     An additional aspect of our invention is in the admixture of compounds having the structure: ##STR73## in combination with normethyl jasmonate having the structure: ##STR74## and methyl jasmonate having the structure: ##STR75## The operable mole ratio of 1-hydroxymethyl-2-acyl cyclopropane derivatives of our invention to methyl jasmonate or normethyl jasmonate (mole ratios) is from 0.1:1 up to 1:0.1. 
     The 1-hydroxymethyl-2-acyl cyclopropane derivatives of our invention can be used to contribute an intense, woody, jasmine, floral, green, fruity, sweet, herbaceous, pineapple-like, grapefruit-like, leathery, coconut-like, mushroom-like aroma with mushroom-like and anisic-like undertones to perfumes, perfumed articles and colognes. (Samples of perfumed articles are anionic, cationic, nonionic or zwitterionic solid or liquid detergents, fabric softeners including drier-added fabric softener articles and fabric softener compositions, perfumed polymers and shampoos.) As olfactory agents, the 1-hydroxymethyl-2-acyl cyclopropane derivatives of our invention can be formulated into or used as components of a &#34;perfume composition&#34; or can be used as components of a &#34;perfumed article&#34; or the perfume composition may be added to &#34;perfumed articles&#34;. 
     The term &#34;perfume composition&#34; is used herein to mean a mixture of organic compounds including, for example, alcohols (other than the alcohols of our invention), aldehydes, ketones, nitriles, ethers, lactones, esters (other than the esters of our invention), carbonates (other than the carbonates of our invention), natural essential oils, synthetic essential oils and frequently hydrocarbons which are admixed so that the combined odors of the individual components produce a pleasant or a desired fragrance. Such perfume compositions usually contain (a) the main note or &#34;bouquet&#34; or foundation stone of the composition; (b) modifiers which round off and accompany the main note; (c) fixatives which include odorous substances which lend a particular note to the perfume throughout all stages of evaporation, and substances which retard evaporation; and (d) topnotes which are usually low-boiling, fresh-smelling materials. 
     In perfume compositions, the individual component will contribute its particular olfactory characteristics, but the overall effect of the perfume composition will be the sum of the effects of each of the ingredients. Thus, the individual compounds of this invention or mixtures thereof can be used taken alone or in combination with normethyl jasmonate and methyl jasmonate to alter the aroma characteristics of a perfume composition, for example, by highlighting or moderating the olfactory reaction contributed by another ingredient in the composition. The amount of the 1-hydroxymethyl-2-acyl cyclopropane derivatives of this invention which will be effective in perfume compositions depends on many factors, including the other ingredients, their amounts and the effects which are desired. It has been found that perfume compositions containing as little as 0.5% of the 1-hydroxymethyl-2-acyl cyclopropane derivatives of our invention or even less, can be used to impart or augment interesting sweet, green, herbaceous, fruity, jasmine, floral, leathery, grapefruit-like, coconut-like and mushroom-like aromas with mushroom-like and anisic undertones to soaps, liquid and solid cationic, anionic, nonionic or zwitterionic detergents, cosmetic powders, liquid and solid fabric softeners, drier-added fabric softener articles, optical brightener compositions, perfumed polymers and other products. The amount employed can range up to 50% or more and will depend on considerations of cost, nature of the end product and the effect desired on the finished product and particular fragrance sought. 
     The 1-hydroxymethyl-2-acyl cyclopropane derivatives of our invention can be used alone or in a perfume composition as an olfactory component in detergents and soaps, space odorants and deodorants; perfumes; colognes, toilet water, bath salts; hair preparations such as lacquers, pomades, brilliantines and shampoos; cosmetic preparations such as creams, deodorants, hand lotions and sun screens; powders such as talcs, dusting powders, face powders and the like. When used as an olfactory component of a perfumed article such as a cationic, nonionic, anionic or zwitterionic solid or liquid detergent, as little as 0.01% of the 1-hydroxymethyl-2-acyl cyclopropane derivatives will suffice to impart an interesting woody, jasmine, floral, green, leathery, fruity, herbaceous, pineapple-like, grapefruit-like, coconut-like and mushroom-like aroma with mushroom-like and anisic undertones. Generally no more than 0.9% by weight of the perfumed article is required. Accordingly, the range of 1-hydroxymethyl-2-acyl cyclopropane derivatives in the perfumed article may vary from about 0.01% up to about 0.9%. 
     In addition, the perfume composition can contain a vehicle or carrier for the 1-hydroxymethyl-2-acyl cyclopropane derivatives alone or with other ingredients such as methyl jasmonate or normethyl jasmonate. The vehicle can be a liquid such as a non-toxic alcohol such as ethanol, a glycol such as propylene glycol or the like. The carrier can be an absorbent solid such as a gum such as gum arabic, guar gum or xanthan gum or components for encapsulating the composition such as gelatin which can be used to form a capsule wall surrounding the perfume oil as by means of coacervation, or a urea formaldehyde prepolymer which can be used to form a polymeric urea formaldehyde wall surrounding the perfume oil by means of polymerization. 
     In addition to its uses in perfumery, perfumed articles or colognes in augmenting or enhancing the aroma of perfumes, perfumed articles and colognes, the 1-hydroxymethyl-2-acyl cyclopropane derivatives of our invention can be used to augment or enhance the aroma or taste of other consumable materials including foodstuffs, chewing gums, toothpastes, medicinal products and chewing tobaccos. 
     When the 1-hydroxymethyl-2-acyl cyclopropane derivatives of our invention are used as food flavor adjuvants or medicinal product flavor adjuvants or toothpaste flavor adjuvants or chewing gum flavor adjuvants or chewing tobacco flavor adjuvants, the nature of the co-ingredients included with each of said 1-hydroxymethyl-2-acyl cyclopropane derivatives in formulating the product composition will also serve to augment or enhance the organoleptic characteristics of the ultimate foodstuff, chewing gum, medicinal product, toothpaste or chewing tobacco treated therewith. 
     Substances suitable for use herein as co-ingredients or flavoring adjuvants are well known in the art for such use, being extensively described in the relevant literature. It is required that any such material be &#34;ingestibly acceptable&#34;, and thus non-toxic or otherwise non-deleterious, particularly from an organoleptic standpoint whereby the ultimate flavor and/or aroma of the consumable material used does not cause the consumable material to have unacceptable aroma and taste nuances. 
     It is a further requirement that such material be organoleptically compatible with the foodstuff with which it is used so that the flavor and aroma nuances of such material, taken together with the flavor and aroma nuances of the foodstuff (as a whole) give rise to a harmoniously aesthetically pleasing aroma and taste profile. Such materials, in general, may be characterized as flavoring adjuvants or vehicles comprising broadly, stabilizers, thickeners, surface active agents, conditioners, other flavorants and flavor intensifiers. 
     Stabilizer compounds include preservatives, e.g. sodium chloride, antioxidants, e.g. calcium and sodium ascorbate, ascorbic acid, butylated hydroxy-anisole (mixture of 2- and 3-tertiary-butyl-4-hydroxy-anisole), butylated hydroxy toluene (2,6-ditertiary-butyl-4-methyl phenol), propyl gallate and the like and seqestrants, e.g. citric acid.

     The specific flavoring adjuvants selected for use may be either solid or liquid depending upon the desired physical form of the ultimate product, i.e. foodstuff, whether simulated or natural, and should, in any event, (1) be organoleptically compatible with the 1-hydroxymethyl-2-acyl cyclopropane derivatives of our invention by not covering or spoiling the organoleptic properties (aroma and/or taste) thereof; (2) be nonreactive with the 1-hydroxymethyl-2-acyl cyclopropane derivatives of our invention; and (3) be capable of providing an environment in which the 1-hydroxymethyl-2-acyl cyclopropane derivatives can be dispersed or admixed to provide a homogeneous medium. In addition, selection of one or more flavoring adjuvants, as well as the quantities thereof will depend upon the precise organoleptic character desired in the finished product. Thus, in the case of flavoring compositions, ingredient selection will vary in accordance with the foodstuff, chewing gum, medicinal product or toothpaste to which the flavor and/or aroma are to be imparted, modified, augmented or enhanced. In contradistinction, in the preparation of solid products, e.g. simulated foodstuffs, ingredients capable of providing normally solid compositions should be selected such as various cellulose derivatives. 
     As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the amount of 1-hydroxymethyl-2-acyl cyclopropane derivatives employed in a particular instance can vary over a relatively wide range, depending upon the desired organoleptic effects to be achieved. Thus, correspondingly greater amounts would be necessary in those instances wherein the ultimate food composition to be flavored is relatively bland to the taste, whereas relatively minor quantities may suffice for purposes of enhancing the composition merely deficient in natural flavor or aroma. The primary requirement is that the amount selected be effective, i.e. sufficient to augment or enhance the organoleptic characteristics of the parent composition, whether foodstuff per se, chewing gum per se, medicinal product per se, toothpaste per se, or flavoring composition. 
     The use of insufficient quantities of 1-hydroxymethyl-2-acyl cyclopropane derivatives will, of course, substantially vitiate any possibility of obtaining the desired results while excess quantities prove needlessly costly and, in extreme cases, may disrupt the flavor-aroma balance, thus proving selfdefeating. Accordingly, the terminology &#34;effective amount&#34; and &#34;sufficient amount&#34; is to be accorded a significance in the context of the present invention consistent with the obtention of desired flavoring effects. 
     Thus, and with respect to ultimate food compositions, chewing gum compositions, medicinal product compositions and toothpaste compositions, it is found that quantities of 1-hydroxymethyl-2-acyl cyclopropane derivatives ranging from a small but effective amount, e.g. 0.02 parts per million (ppm) up to about 50 parts per million (ppm) based on total composition are suitable. Concentrations in excess of the maximum quantity stated are not normally recommended, since they fail to provide commensurate enhancement of organoleptic properties. In those instances where the 1-hydroxymethyl-2-acyl cyclopropane derivatives are added to the foodstuff as an integral component of a flavoring composition, it is, of course, essential that the total quantity of flavoring composition employed be sufficient to yield an effective 1-hydroxymethyl-2-acyl cyclopropane derivative concentration in the foodstuff product. 
     Food flavoring compositions prepared in accordance with the present invention preferably contain the 1-hydroxymethyl-2-acyl cyclopropane derivatives in concentrations ranging from about 0.05% up to about 5% by weight based on the total weight of the said flavoring composition. 
     The composition described herein can be prepared according to conventional techniques well know as typified by cake batters and fruit drinks and can be formulated by merely admixing the involved ingredients within the proportions stated in a suitable blender to obtain the desired consistency, homogeneity of dispersion, etc. Alternatively, flavoring compositions in the form of particulate solids can be conveniently prepared by mixing the 1-hydroxymethyl-2-acyl cyclopropane derivatives of our invention with, for example, gum arabic, gum tragacanth, carrageenan and the like, and thereafter spraydrying the resultant mixture whereby to obtain the particulate solid product. Pre-prepared flavor mixes in powder form, e.g. a fruit-flavored powder mix is obtained by mixing the dried solid components, e.g. starch, sugar and the like and the 1-hydroxymethyl-2-acyl cyclopropane derivatives in a dry blender until the requisite degree of uniformity is achieved. 
     It is presently preferred to combine with the 1-hydroxymethyl-2-acyl cyclopropane derivatives of our invention the following adjuvants: 
     bergamot oil; 
     citral; 
     amyl alcohol;

The following illustrates the beneficial flavor effect when the compound having the structure: ##STR112## prepared according to Example III is added directly to several products just prior to their consumption: 
     i. blended vegetable sauce containing mushrooms at approximately 30 ppm, brings out the boiled mushroom nuances. 
     ii. in vegetable soup at 40 ppm, imparts a fresh vegetable flavor with mushroom nuances. The green notes give the entire vegetable flavor a fuller body. 
     iii. in bean tomato sauce at approximately 20 ppm, modifies the flavor by reducing the harsh character of the tomato space mixture while at the same time adding green fresh notes and developing the &#34;cooked&#34; tomato note to a &#34;fresh&#34; tomato note. Also adds mushroom nuances to the sauce. 
     EXAMPLE XV 
     VEGETARIAN VEGETABLE SOUP 
     The compound defined according to the structure: ##STR113## is added at the rate of 2 ppm to condensed vegetarian vegetable soup (Shop Rite 200  brand). One liter of water is added to one liter of soup and thoroughly admixed. The resulting mixture is then simmered (200° F.) for a period of 10 minutes. The resulting soup is compared by a bench panel with a soup which has no compound defined according to the structure: ##STR114## added thereto. The soup containing the compound having the structure: ##STR115## added thereto is unanimously preferred as having a more vegetable-like taste with mushroom nuances with fuller mouth feel and better aroma and, in addition, a pleasant slight, green nuance.
