Description
- This invention relates to cleaning compositions comprising organic catalysts and processes for making and using such cleaning products.
- Oxygen bleaching agents, for example hydrogen peroxide, are typically used to facilitate the removal of stains and soils from clothing and various surfaces. Unfortunately such agents are extremely temperature rate dependent. As a result, when such agents are employed in colder solutions, the bleaching action of such solutions is markedly decreased.
- In an effort to resolve the aforementioned performance problem, the industry developed a class of materials known as "bleach activators". However, as such materials rapidly lose their effectiveness at solution temperatures of less than 40 °C, new organic catalysts such as 3,4-dihydro-2-[2-(sulfooxy)decyl]isoquinolimium, inner salt were developed. In general, while such current art catalysts are effective in lower temperature water conditions, they can inactivate certain enzymes. As most laundry and cleaning compositions are formulated with enzymes, formulating cleaning products with such catalysts can be problematic.

- 2.) Sample Analysis
- a.) Analysis of sample with enzyme only: Add 100 mL of blank detergent solution to a 150 mL beaker. Place beaker on heated stir plate and bring temperature to 40°C with stirring. Add Y µL of enzyme stock to the beaker where Y= 612 µL for Duramyl, 306 µL for Termamyl, or 918 µL for Natalase. Spike only enzyme of interest. Stir sample for 1 minute. Start timer. At 7 minutes 45 seconds, pull a sample and filter it using a 0.45 µm syringe filter (5 mL syringe). Mix 6 µL of filtered sample with 250 µL of amylase reagent in a cuvette and place the cuvette in a UV/VIS spectrophotometer and monitor change in absorbance at 415 nm. Determine length of time (tE) to the nearest second required to obtain an absorbance reading of 1.0 for each enzyme. Use each enzyme's tE in Steps 2.)b.) and 2.)c.) below.
- b.) Analysis of sample with enzyme and peracetic acid only. Follow Step 2.)a.) except after enzyme addition, allow solution to stir for 1 minute then add 127 µL of peracetic acid stock and start timer. Pull sample at 7 minutes 45 seconds as in Step 2.)a.). Once sample and reagent are mixed, record the absorbance at tE for the respective enzyme. Designate such absorbance Ab.
- c.) Analysis of sample with enzyme, peracetic acid, and organic catalyst. Follow Step 2.)a.) except after enzyme addition, allow solution to stir for 1 minute then add 127 µL of peracetic acid stock and 100 µL of organic catalyst stock and start timer. Pull sample at 7 minutes 45 seconds as in Step 2.)a.). Once sample and reagent are mixed, record the absorbance at tE for the respective enzyme. Designate such absorbance Ac.
- 3.) Calculate Enzyme Compatibility Value (ECV)
- a.) Calculate the ECV for each specific enzyme: termamyl (ECVter), duramyl (ECVdur) and natalase (ECVnat). The ECV for any specific enzyme is (Ac/Ab) x 100 where Ab and Ac are the values determined in Steps 2.)b.) and 2.)c.), respectively, for that enzyme.
- b.) The ECV for a given organic catalyst is the average of the individual ECV values for the three enzymes. Thus, ECV = (ECVter + ECVdur + ECVnat)/3.

- Preparation of 2-propylheptyl glycidyl ether: To a flame dried, 500 mL round bottomed flask equipped with an addition funnel charged with epichlorohydrin (15.62 gm., 0.17 moles), is added 2-propylheptanol (Pfaltz & Bauer, Inc., 172 E. Aurora Street, Waterbury CT, 06708, USA) (20 gm., 0.127 moles) and stannic chloride (0.20 gm., 0.001 moles). The reaction is kept under an argon atmosphere and warmed to 90 °C using an oil bath. Epichlorohydrin is dripped into the stirring solution over 60 minutes followed by stirring at 90 °C for 18 hours. The reaction is fitted with a vacuum distillation head and 1-chloro-3-(2-propyl-heptyloxy)-propan-2-ol is distilled at a temperature range of 90 °C->95 °C under 0.2mm Hg. Wt.=22.1 gm.
