The present invention is based on the discovery that its strong minty odour.
certain other organic compounds, vzhich can be readily synthesised, have a physiological cooling effect similar to that obtained with menthol, but do not have the strong minty odour. In many cases the compounds have little or no odour at all. Such compounds therefore find utility as additives in a wide range of ingestible and topical compositions. More particularly they find utility as components in compositions for nasal application and in vapour rubs and liniments.
The compounds having a physiological cooling effect and utilisable in accordance with the present invention are amides of the formulae

C^-C^ <sup>or c</sup>!“<sup>c</sup>8 <sup>h</sup>y<sup>drox</sup>yalkyl and provide a total of no more than 8 carbon atoms, with the proviso that alkoxycarbonylalkyl when R^ is hydrogen may also be alkyicarbcccylalky'L of up to 6 carbon atoms;
R^ and R^, when taken together, represent an alkylene group of up to 6 carbon atoms, the opposite ends of which group are attached to the amide nitrogen atom thereby to form a nitrogen heterocycle, the carbon atom chain of which may optionally be interrupted by oxygen;
Rp R’, R”, R’” and R’<sup>v</sup> are each hydrogen or C^-C^ alkyl; and and are each C-^-C^ alkyl;
with the provisos that
i) Rp R<sub>2</sub> and R^ together provide a total of at least 5 carbon atoms, preferably from 5-10 carbon atoms;
ii) when R^ is hydrogen, R<sub>2</sub> is C<sub>2</sub>-C^ alkyl and is C^-C^ alkyl and at least one of R<sub>2</sub> and is branched, preferably in an alpha or beta position relative to the carbon atom marked (k) in the formula (1);
iii) R', R, R”' and R’<sup>v</sup> together provide a total of from 1-3 carbon atoms; and iv) at least two of R<sup>1</sup>, R” and R’ and R'<sup>v</sup> are hydrogen and that, when R’ and R<sup>,v</sup> are both hydrogen and R’ is methyl, then R is selected from methyl, ethyl, n-propyl and straight and branched chain butyl and amyl.
Where the compounds used in this invention have an asymmetric carbon atom either optical isomer may be used in pure form but generally a mixture of optical isomers will be used. In some cases the degree of cooling produced by the compounds on the skin will differ as between optical isomer, in which case on© or other isomer may be preferred. Likewise, the compounds of formula II exhibit geometric isomerism and will usually be employed as a mixture of isomers. However, in some cases one or other geometric isomer may be preferred.
The preferred acyclic amides of formula I used in this invention are the tertiary compounds, i.e. those where each of Rp R<sub>?</sub> and R^ is alkyl, especially those where is methyl, ethyl or n-propyl and at least one of R2 and. R^ is a branched chain group having branching in an alpha or beta position relative, to the C atom marked, (k) in. the formula. Also preferred, are mono-substituted amides, i.e. where is H, and disubstituted amides where R<sub>z</sub>, and are methyl or ethyl. A further preferred group consists of amides of formula I where R^ is hydrogen and at least one of R<sub>2</sub> and. R^ is branched in an alpha position relative to the carbon atom marked » in the formula.
II
The preferred cyclohexanamides of formula Z7 used in this invention are cyclohexanamides having either one or two nuclear alkyl substituents with the nuclear alkyl substituent in the case of the mono-nuclear substituted compounds being either in the 1- or the 2- position and the second being either in the 5- or the 6- position. Especially preferred are tertiary compounds, i.e. where R’ is alkyl. Generally it is preferred that one alkyl group, preferably־ R’, is a branched chain group with branching in an alpha or beta position relative to the ring. Again, the monosubstituted cyclic amides, i.e. where one of R^ and R^ is ־5hydrogen, and. disubstituted cyclic amides where R/<sub>4</sub> and Rg are methyl or ethyl are preferred.
The amides may. readily be prepared by conventional techniques, for example, by reaction of an acid chloride of the formula R^i^R-^COCl or
R’ COCI
<img file="IL41995A_D0002.tif" />
with an.amine of the formula HNR^Rg in the presence of a hydrogen chloride acceptor. Such reactions are entirely conventional and the procedures involved will readily be understood by persons skilled in the art.
Typical amides of Formula I usable in the compositions of this invention are listed below in Table I together with an indication of their cooling activity; the more stars the greater the activity, i.e. the greater the degree of cooling produced by a given quantity of the compound.

W The compounds of th*e above formulae find utility in a wide variety of compositions for consumption by or application to the human body. Broadly speaking, these compositions can be divided into comestible and topical compositions, both terms being taken in their broadest possible sense.
Thus comestible is to be taken as including not only foodstuffs and beverages taken into the mouth and swallowed, but ־ also other orally ingested compositions taken for reasons ג
other than their nutritional value, e.g. indigestion tablets, antacid preparations, laxatives etc. Comestible compositions are also to be taken to include edible compositions taken by mouth, but not necessarily swallowed, e.g. chewing gum.
Topical compositions are to be taken as including not only compositions such as perfumes, powders and other toiletries, lotions, liniments, oils and ointments applied to the external surfaces of the human body, whether for medical or other reasons, but also compositions applied to, or which, in normal usage, come in contact with, internal mucous membranes of the body, such as those of the nose, mouth, or throat, whether by direct or indirect application or inhalation, and thus include nasal and throat sprays, dentifrice, mouthwash and gargle compositions. Also included within the present invention are toilet articles such as cleansing tissues and toothpicks impregnated or coated with the active cooling compound.

<td></td><td> A further class of*compositions included within the scope of this invention are tobacco and associated articles e.g. pipe and cigarette filters, especially filter tips for cigarettes.</td>
<td> ל</td><td> The compositions of this invention will contain an amount of the active cooling compound sufficient to stimulate the cold, receptors in. the areas of the skin or mucous membrane . with which the compositions come into contact and thereby promote the desired cold sensation. As the degree and</td>
<td> 10</td><td> longevity of cooling sensation varies from compound to compound the quantity of stimulant used in each composition will vary widely. As a guide, it may be said that, with the more active compounds, a significant cooling sensation, which, in some cases, may persist for several hours, is</td>
<td> 15</td><td> achieved upon application to the skin of as little as 0.05 ml. of a 1.0% weight percent solution of the active ingredient in ethanol. For the less active compounds a significant cooling effect is achieved only with more concentrated solutions, e.g. 5.0% by weight or more of the active</td>
<td> 20</td><td> ingredient. It must also be admitted that such skin tests are somewhat subjective, some individuals experiencing a greater or lesser cooling sensation than others when subjected to the same test. In formulating the compositions of this invention</td>
<td> ל2</td><td> the active cooling compound will usually be incorporated</td>
into a carrier which may completely inert or which may be or contain other active ingredients. A wide variety of carriers will be suitable, depending upon the end use of the composition, such carriers including solids, liquids, emulsions, foams and gels. Typical carriers for the active cooling compound include aqueous or alcoholic solutions;
oils and fats such as hydrocarbon oils, fatty acid esters, long chain alcohols and silicone oils; finely divided.
solids such as starch or talc; cellulosic materials such as paper tissue; tobacco; low-boiling hydrocarbons and halohydrocarbons used as aerosol propellents; gums and natural or synthetic resins.
In most compositions according to the invention the carrier will be or contain as an adjuvant one or more of the following: an antacid, antiseptic or analgesic, a flavourant, colourant, or odourant, or a surfactant.
The. following illustrate the range of compositions into which the active cooling compounds can be incorporated:
1. Edible or potable compositions including alcohol! and non-alcoholic beverages, confectionery, chewing gum; cachous; ice cream; jellies;
2. Toiletries including after shave lotions, shaving soaps, creams and foams, toilet water, deodorants and antiperspirants, solid colognes, toilet soaps, bath oils and salts, shampoos, hair oils, talcum powders, /3 face creams, hand creams, sunburn lotions, cleansing tissues, dentifrices, toothpicks, mouthwashes, hair tonics, eyedrops.
3. Medicaments including antiseptic ointments, pile ointments, liniments, lotions, decongestants, counter״ irritants, cough mixtures, throat lozenges, antacid and indigestion preparations, oral analgesics;
4. Tobacco preparations including cigars, cigarettes, pipe tobacco, chewing tobacco and snuff: tobacco filters, especially filter tips for cigarettes.
5. Miscellaneous compositions such as water soluble adhesive compositions for envelopes, postage stamps, adhesive labels etc.
Particular preparations according to the. invention are discussed in more detail below.
Edible and Potable Compositions.
The edible and potable compositions of this invention will contain the active cooling compound in combination with an edible carrier and usually a flavouring or colouring agent.
The particular effect of the cooling compounds is to create a cool or fresh sensation in the mouth, and in some cases, even in the stomach, and therefore the compounds find particular utility in sugar-based confectionery such as chocolate, boiled sweets and candy, in ice cream and jellies and in chewing gum. The formulation of such confections
<td></td><td> will be by ord.in.ary techniques and according to conventional.!, recipes and as such forms no part of this invention. The active compound will be added to the recipe at a convenient point and in amount sufficient to produce the desired cooling</td>
<td> 5</td><td> effect in the final product. As already indicated, the amount will vary depending upon the particular compound, the degree of cooling effect desired and the strength of other flavourants in the recipe. For general guidance, however, amounts in the range 0.1 to 5% by weight based on</td>
<td> 10</td><td> the total composition will be found suitable. Similar considerations apply to the formulation of beverages. Generally speaking the compounds will find most utility in soft drinks e.g. fruit squashes, lemonade, cola etc., but may also be used in alcoholic beverages. The</td>
<td> 15</td><td> amount of compound used will generally be in the range 0.1 to 2.5% by weight based on the total composition. Toiletries, Because of the cooling sensation imparted to the skin, a major utility of the cooling compounds will be in a wide</td>
<td> 20</td><td> range of toilet preparations and toilet articles. The particular preparations discussed below are to be taken as exemplary. A major utility will be in after shave lotions, toilet water etc., where the compound will be used in</td>
<td> 25</td><td> alcoholic or aqueous alcoholic solution, such solutions</td>
usually also containing a'perfume or mild antiseptic or both. The amount of compound added to the formulation will usually be in the range 0.1 to 10% by weight based on the total composition.
Another field of ut.ili.t3z will be in soaps, shampoos, bath oils etc. where the compound will be used in combination with an oil or fat or a natural or synthetic. surfactant e.g. a fatty acid salt or a lauroylsulphate salt, the composition usually also containing an essential oil or perfume. The range of soap compositions will include soaps of all kinds e.g. toilet soaps, shaving soaps, shaving foams etc.
Usually the compound will be added to the formulation in amount of from 0.1 to 10% by weight.
A further class of toilet compositions into which the compounds may be incorporated includes cosmetic creams and emollients, such creams and emollients usually comprising a base emulsion and optionally a range of ingredients such as wax, preservative, perfume, antiseptics, astringents, pigments etc. Also included within this class are lipstick compositions such compositions usually comprising an oil and wax base into which the compound can be incorporated along with the conventional ingredients, i.e. pigments, perfumes etc. Once again the formulation of such compositions, apart from the incorporation of the cooling compound, usually in an amount of from 0.05 to 10% by weight, is conventional.

A solution of the acid chloride' (1.5 g) in ether (20 ml) was added with stirring to a solution of ethylamine (5 ml of a 70% solution in water) in ether (100 ml). After stirring for 2 hours the 25 ethereal layer was washed with dilute hydrochloric acid and 'h ׳ ן water. The dried (MgSO^ ether solution was concentrated and the residue was recrystallised from petroleum ether (bp. 40-60°) to give N-ethyl-2-isobutyl-2,4-dimethylpentanamide, mp. 71.5-72.5°״
Analysis; Found C: 72.9; H: 12.3: N: 6.9
Calculated C: 73.3; H: 12.8: N: 6.6%
