A structure-taste study of arylsulfonyl(cyclo)alkanecarboxylic acids.
A number of sweeteners contain a sulfonyl group. In our current search for new glucophores several new compounds containing such group were obtained. A series of novel 1-phenylsulfonylcyklohexanecarboxylic acids and 2-arylsulfonylalkanecarboxylic acids was obtained and evaluated for their sweet taste quality. It has been found that methyl substituents are of the key importance for the activity of these compounds.
