Abstract

Thirty-four monosubstituted ortho-, meta- and para-phenylsulfamates have been synthesized, characterized and tasted. The compounds (as sodium salts) display all four primary tastes often in combination. Some structure-sweet taste relationships have been derived using measurements made with CPK models and using Hammett sigma values for the various substituents. For the 14 meta-substituted compounds (including five previously made) those having x (the length of the aromatic portion including the substituent) in the range 5·82 ± 0·12 A ̊ and VCPK (= x.y.z) ≤ 295 A ̊3 displayed some sweetness, this being much more pronounced and exclusive for those compounds with VCPK ≤ 170 A ̊3. All the sweet meta-compounds had σm in the range -0·07 to + 0·56. The ortho-compounds that showed some sweet component in their taste generally had σo in the range -0·30 to + 0·81 and the para-compounds nine of which had a sweet aftertaste had σp in the range -0·27 to + 0·66.
