L-Aminodicarboxylic acid amides of substituted amines and a composition containing the same.

摘要

This invention relates to novel sweeteners of the formula: wherein A is hydrogen, alkyl containing 1-3 carbon atoms, hydroxyalkyl containing 1-3 carbon atoms, alkoxymethyl wherein the alkoxy contains 1-3 carbon atoms or CO2R5 in which R5 is alkyl containing 1-3 carbon atoms; A min is hydrogen or alkyl containing 1-3 carbon atoms; A and A min taken together with the carbon atoms to which they are attached form cycloalkyl containing 3-4 carbon atoms; Y is -(CHR)n-R1, -CHR2R3 or R4; R1 is cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, lower alkyl substituted cycloalkyl or cycloalkenyl, bicycloalkyl, bicycloalkenyl or tricycloalkyl containing up to 10 ring carbon atoms and up to a total of 12 carbon atoms; R is H or alkyl containing 1-4 carbon atoms; R2 and R3 are each cycloalkyl containing 3-4 ring carbon atoms; R4 is alkyl containing up to 12 carbon atoms; n = 0 or 1; and m = 0 or 1; and food-acceptable salts thereof.
