Description

SUPEROXID PHOTOCHEMICAL GENERATORS FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to photochemical superoxide generators and their use in laundry compositions and hard surface cleaning compositions consisting of one or more of said photochemical superoxide generators, effective as bleaching agents, stain removers or bactericides. The present invention also relates to methods for cleaning fabrics or hard surfaces, and for providing means of sanitizing fabrics or hard surfaces.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION It is known that certain water-soluble compounds of phthalocyanine, naphthalocyanine, mixed cyanine and metallocyanine can be used as photobleaching and antimicrobial agents. Phthalocyanines, naphthalocyanines or their metal complexes can form "singlet oxygen", an oxidizing species capable of reacting with bleaching spots to a colorless state and normally soluble in water. It has been surprising to find that certain compounds of porphyrin, metalloporphyrin, phthalocyanine, naphthalocyanine, mixed cyanine, and metallocyanin can produce photochemically superoxide. Superoxide is typically formed via non-photochemical means from the disproportionation of superoxide alkaline and alkaline earth metals. Superoxide is a kind of reactive oxygen formed by the reduction of an electron of oxygen, has a life time greater than oxygen in singlet and is able to discolor (bleach) spots and kill bacteria. Throughout this description superoxide is presented as O2-based on the practice of common literature. Surprisingly, it has been discovered that superoxide can be efficiently produced by photochemical means. Some photosensitizing units that consist of a portion capable of transferring an electron to the cloud of photochemically excited electrons of the photosensitizing unit are capable of producing superoxide. Preferably the photosensitizers, preferably porphyrins, metalporphyrins, harmful, and metallocyanines, and have the electron transfer portion covalently attached. Therefore, it is an aspect of the present invention to provide new materials that photochemically produce superoxide. These materials are photosensitization units that have covalently attached a portion capable of transferring an electron to the excited state of the aforementioned photosensitizer. The superoxide produced by these compounds is useful since the superoxide molecules are capable of acting as bleaching materials or as antimicrobials.
Another aspect of the present invention is to provide detergent compositions for laundry and hard surface cleaning consisting of the aforementioned superoxide generators. In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, a method for removing cloth stains and for killing bacteria as well as preventing the re-propagation of said bacteria is provided herein. The method consists of contacting the fabrics or surface contaminated with the bacteria with an aqueous medium consisting of at least 0.001 ppm of the photochemical superoxide generators described herein below. These, and other objects, features, and advantages will be clear from the following detailed description and appended claims.

Another example of the photosensitizing ring P is the unsubstituted portion 2,3-naphthalocyanine having the formula: where the units R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6 of each naphthylene ring is a hydrogen atom. However, the photosensitizing ring may consist of more than one type of substituted or unsubstituted units. This mixture of units results in the formation of a photosensitizing group of hybrid cyanine. A non-limiting example of a "hybrid cyanine" or "mixed cyanine" ring system is the unsubstituted ring of (3) -benzene- (1) -naphthalene having the formula: wherein the units R1, R2, R3, and R4 of each of the benzene rings is a hydrogen atom, and the units R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6 of the naphthylene ring is a hydrogen atom. The term "hybrid cyanine" is taken to include all reaction products that are formed when two or more monomers react together. Those skilled in the art will recognize that the resulting mixture also contains non-hybrid structures, however, for the purposes of the present invention these non-hybrid structures are comprised within the definition of "hybrid cyanins". It must also be recognized that as the number of different monomers increases, the number of possible hybrid rings formed also increases. As indicated above, "hybrid cyanins" can be formed by reacting two or more different monomers. In addition, the stoichiometric ratio of these monomers may vary. The following are non-limiting examples of reactions to form mixed cyanines. where the ratio of the indices x and y indicate the stoichiometric quantities of each reactable material, said reactable material ratios can vary from 0.01 to 100, this means that the value of x can be 1 when the value of y is 100 and the value of x it can be 100 when the value of y is 1. The following formula is a main product from the following stoichiometry reaction Preferably the hybrid cyanins and cyanines are combined with a metal or non-photoactive metal. Metal or non-metal "photoactive" refers to any atom that when combined with a photosensitizing unit according to the present invention drives the photophysics of the photosensitizing unit. Preferred photoactive metals and non-metals include, but are not limited to, silicon, aluminum, phosphorus, tin, germanium, platinum, palladium, lead, cadmium, zinc, and mixtures thereof. However, any metal or non-photoactive metal is suitable for use in combination with the photosensitizing groups of the present invention, provided that said metal or non-photoactive metal has a valence of at least greater than 3. The metals and non-metals that are not suitable for use in the present invention are the paramagnetic atoms among others, iron, copper, chromium and cobalt. Another suitable photosensitizing group is porphyrins and metalloporphyrins having the formula: where R 'is aryl, substituted ary, and mixtures thereof, as defined above.
Electron transfer portion The photochemical superoxide generators of the present invention must contain an Electron Transfer Portion. For the purposes of the present invention the term "electron transfer portion" is defined as "a portion that is capable of transferring an electron to a photosensitizing group P when the photosensitizer is in an excited state". Put in other terms, the transfer of an electron from the transfer portion to the photochemically excited state of the photosensitizing group is a key procedure for the production of superoxide. This electron transfer procedure is normally performed in a very fast and reversible procedure. However, for the E units of the present invention this transfer is not reversible. Without expecting to be bound by theory, when an electron is transferred by an "electron transfer unit" as described in this document, unit E is modified in such a manner (typically by chemical fragmentation) that unit E can not return to accept the transferred electron and therefore the procedure is a one-way transfer. The donor portion is decomposed before transferring the electron again. Once the transfer is complete the superoxide formation ensues. When all the "electron transfer units" are depleted, the remaining photoactive material is still capable of producing "singlet oxygen", another type of bleaching agent or photochemical disinfectant. In accordance with the present invention the electron transfer portions are included in an electron transfer unit E and a suitable unit for linking the unit E to the photosensitizing unit P. The electron transfer portions have the formula: -L -E L1- B- [L2-E] m where L1 and L2 are binding units and B is an atom capable of providing 2 to 4 branching points. The index m has the value of 2 to 4. The units B have the following formulas: wherein preferably B is selected from the group consisting of boron, aluminum, nitrogen, phosphorus, carbon, silicon, tin, germanium, and mixtures thereof, most preferably carbon, silicon and nitrogen. L1 and L2 are linking units where L1 and each L2 are independently selected from the group consisting of oxygen, linear or branched CiC-iß alkylene, linear or branched C1-C18 alkenylene, substituted or unsubstituted C1-C18 alkylenoxy, C 1 -C 18 substituted or unsubstituted arylene, substituted or unsubstituted C 1 -C 18 alkylenearylene, substituted or unsubstituted C 1 -C 18 aryleneoxy substituted or unsubstituted C 1 -C 18 oxyalkylenearylene, alkyleneoxyarylene, and mixtures thereof, said Units are defined earlier in this document.

The value of the index m depends on the nature of the branching of unit B and can have the value of 2 to 4, preferably 3. The electron transfer portions of the present invention should not have more than twenty links between the point of attachment to the photosensitizing unit and the point of attachment to the electron transfer unit E, and the links contain the link between the portion amino and P photosensitizer group should not contain a series of conjugated bonds.

The anionic surfactants can be broadly described as the water-soluble salts, particularly the alkali metal salts, of organic sulfuric reaction products having in their molecular structure an alkyl radical containing from about 8 to about 22 carbon atoms, and a radical selected from the group consisting of suifonic acid and sulfuric acid ester radicals (included in the term alkyl, is the alkyl portion of higher acyl radicals). Important examples of the synthetic anionic detergents which can form the surfactant component of the compositions of the present invention are sodium or potassium alkyl sulphates, especially those obtained by sulfating higher alcohols (C8-18 carbon atoms) produced by reducing tallow glycerides or coconut oil; sodium or potassium alkylbenzenesulfonates, in which the alkyl group contains from about 9 to about 15 carbon atoms (the alkyl radical can be a straight or branched aliphatic chain); alkyl glyceryl sodium ether sulfonates, especially the ethers of higher alcohols derived from tallow and coconut oil; monoglyceride sulfates and fatty acid sulfonates of sodium coconut oil; Sodium or potassium salts of sulfuric acid ester of the reaction product of one mole of the higher fatty alcohol (eg tallow or coconut alcohols) and from about 1 to about 10 moles of ethylene oxide; sodium or potassium salts of ethylene oxide ether sulfates of alkylphenol having from about 1 to about 10 ethylene oxide units per molecule, and in which the alkyl radicals contain from 8 to 12 carbon atoms; the reaction products of fatty acids are derived from sodium or potassium salts of coconut oil of fatty acid amides of a methyl tauride, in which the fatty acids, for example, are derived from coconut oil and beta- sodium or potassium acetoxy or beta-acetamido-alcansulfonates, where the alkane has from 8 to 22 carbon atoms. Additionally, the secondary alkyl sulphates can be used by the formulator exclusively in conjunction with other surfactant materials, and the following identifies and illustrates the differences between the sulfated surfactants and otherwise the conventional alkyl sulfate surfactants. Non-limiting examples of said ingredients are the following. The conventional primary alkyl sulphates, such as those illustrated above, have the general formula ROS03-M +, wherein R is typically a linear C8-22 hydrocarbyl group, and M is a water solubilizing cation. Branched chain primary alkylsulfate surfactants (ie, branched chain "PAS") having from 8 to 20 carbon atoms are also known; see, for example, European Patent Application 439,316, Smith et al., filed January 21, 1991. Conventional secondary alkyl sulfate surfactants are those materials that have the sulfate portion distributed randomly along the "base structure" hydrocarbyl of the molecule. Such materials can be represented by the structure CH3 (CH2) n (CHOSO3-M +) (CH2) mCH3 where m and n are integers of 2 or more, and the sum of m + n is typically from about 9 to about 17, and M it is a cation of solubilization in water. The secondary alkyl sulfates mentioned above are those prepared by the addition of H2SO4 to olefins. A typical synthesis using alpha olefins and sulfuric acid is described in the U.S. patent. No. 3,234,258, Morris, issued February 8, 1996, or in the US patent. No. 5,075,041, Lutz, issued December 24, 1991. The synthesis that is carried out in solvents that produce secondary alkylsulfates (2,3) by cooling, produces products that, when purified to remove materials that did not react , randomly sulfated materials, unsulfated by-products such as C10 and higher alcohols, secondary oleofinsulphonates, and the like, are typically 90 +% pure mixtures of 2- and 3-sulphated materials (some amount of sodium sulfate may be present), and They are white solids, not sticky and apparently crystalline. Some 2,3-disulphates may also be present, but generally comprise not more than 5% of the mixture of secondary alkylammonosulfate (2,3). Such materials are available under the name "DAN", for example, "DAN 200" from Shell Oil Company.
