The present invention describes a fragrance delivery system which releases fragrant aldehydes or ketones and/or fragrant compounds containing an olefin function upon exposure to light. This system comprises &agr;-keto esters of formula
in which R′* and R″* have the meaning as defined in the application and which are generally, in case of R′*, an alkyl group carrying an abstractable hydrogen in &ggr;-position relative to the &agr;-keto function and carrying a moiety from which is derived a fragrant compound containing an olefin function, and, in case of R″*, the organic part of a primary or secondary alcohol from R″*OH which is derived a fragrant aldehyde or ketone.
本发明描述了一种香气释放系统,该系统在暴露于光线下时释放香醛或酮和/或含有烯烃功能的芳香化合物。该系统包括式中的α-
酮酯,其中R′*和R″*的含义如申请中所定义,通常情况下,对于R′*,它是一种烷基,携带一个可提取氢原子的γ-位置相对于α-酮功能,并携带一个部分,从中得到一个含有烯烃功能的芳香化合物;对于R″*,它是一种一级或二级醇的有机部分,从R″*OH得到一个含有香醛或酮的芳香化合物。
