Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
The present invention provides a N-sulphoalkane-amino-alkane phosphonic acid having the general formula wherein R1 is H, CH3, C2H5, C6H5, CH2NH2 or C2H4PO3H2, R2 is H or PO3H2, R3 = CnH2nSO3H or CH2PO3H2, where n is from 1 - 11 and R4 = H (when R3 is other than CH2PO3H2) or CnH2nSO3H
where n is 1 - 11 and provided that R2 is PO3H2 when R, is hydrogen, R3 is CH2PO3H2 and R4 is CnH2nSO3H

or a salt thereof.
The acids can be readily produced in good yields and their solubility in water is very good for most purposes. They are good complexing agents with respect to divalent and poly-valent metal ions and can be applied with advantage wherever good complexing efficiency is required. Their hydrolysis re-sistance at high temperatures is particularly good so that they are applicable in all the cases in which temperatures above 100°
are applied. They can be used in any medium in which the water softeners have an adverse effect or in which the influence of polyvalent metal ions is to be eliminated. This applied in particular to the treatment of hard water, baths for treating textiles, papermaking and tanning.

Description

. --\ ~1009~

The pr~scnt ,inven-tion rela-tes to ~-sulphoal~anc-~mino-alkane phosp]lonic ac..ds, their alkali me~al sal-ts and a process for their production.
In West Gc.rman Patent No. 2,313,416 N-carboxy-alkyl-aminoalkane diphosphonic acids and ~'carboxy-methyl-aminoaryl- ~ ~;
alkane diphosphonic acids are described. British Pa~ent No. .
1,142,294 relates to carboxy-aminoalkane phcsphonic acids which contain the grouping >NC~-12PO3H2 which are obtained, for example, by reaction of aminoacetic acid with formaldehyde and phosphorus trichloride in the presence of wa-ter.
The N-carboxy-alkyl-aminoalkane, diphosphonic acids, ;, which are described in German Patent No. 2,318,416, are ob-tained by react,ing aminoalkane di- or tri- phosphonic acids in an alkaline medium with formaldehyde and alkali metal cyanide in '~
specific molar ratios while heating.
According'to the present invention there are provided N-sulphalkane arninoalkane.phosphonic acids,which may be repre-sented by .the.general formula PO3H2 :

Rl - C - N~

wherein R 1s H, CH3, C2H5, C6~l5~ CH2NH2 or C2 4 3 2 2 ~:
R3 is CnH2nSO3H or CH2PO3H2, wherein n is 1 - 11 and R4 is H
(when R3 i.s not CH2 3 2) n 2n 3 where n is 1 - 11 provided that R2 i5 PO3H2 when Rl is hydrogen, R3 is CH2PO3H
and R4 is CnH2 SO3H and the acid hy~rogen can be replaced by alkali metal such as sodium and potassium.
The N-sulphoalkane-aminoalkane phosphonic acids in the present invention differ from the knowyl phosphonic acids in that the hydrogen atoms at the nitrogen are replaced by alkane-sulphonic acid groups.
-, ., s For their production the alkali metal salts here of th~

aminophosphonic acids having the aeneral formula ¦ / R3 Rl - C - N

wherein 1 g ~ CH3~ C2H5~ C6H5'C2H4PO3H2~ CH2NH2, R2 is H or P3H2' and R3 is H or CH2PO3H2 are reacted in an alkaline medium with the alkali metal salts or chloro- or hydroxy- alkane sulphonic acids having the general formula ClCnH2nS3H or HOCnH~nSO3H, wherein n is from 1 to 11, in a molar ratio of approximately 1:1 to 1:2 with heating. The reaction is desixably carried out at a pII of at least 9 and at elevated temperature.
Chloro-alkane sulphonates are reacted at temperatures of approximately 100C. Hydroxy-methane sulphonates noticeably react with the aminophosphonates at temperatures as low as 60C.
The reaction with higher l-hydroxy-alkane-l-sulphonates, as for example, l-hydroxy-ethane-l-sulphonate, is somewhat slower.
However, in the case of 2-hydroxy-ethane-1-sulphonates it has been found that it is required to operate at temperatures be-tween 180 and 240C under pressure.
The sodium or potassium salts of l-chloro-ethane-2-sulphonic acid, l-chloro-propane-2-sulphonic acid,l-chloro-pro-pane-3-sulphonic acid, 2-chloro-butane-4-sulphonic acid, 1-chloro-butane-4-sulphonic acid, 1-chloro-octane-2-sulphonic acicl and 3-chloro- undecane-l-sulphonlc acid are suitable as chloro sulphonates.

Hydroxy-methane sulphonate, l-hydroxy-ethane-l-sul-phonate, 2-hydroxy-ethane-1-sulphonate, 1,2-dihydroxy-ethane-1,2-disulphonate and hydroxy-carboxy-methane sulphonate have been used as hydroxy-all;ane sulphonates.
Any aminoalkane phosphonic acid which carries at least one substitutable hydrogen at the nitrogen group and has the above fcrmula is suitable as the phosphonic-acid component.
Depending on the molar ratios chosen, mono- or di-substituted sulphoalkane -aminoalkane-di- or tri-phosphonic acids are obtained in the reaction with the alkali metal salts of the chloro-alkane sulphonic acids.
When 2-hydroxy-ethane-1-sulphonate is used for the reaction with aminoalkane phosphonic acids, then only produc-ts which carry a suIphoalkane aroup at the nitrogen are obtained.
Instead of the l-hydroxy-ethane-l-sulphonates, the aldehydes or acetals can be reacted together with alkali metal bisulphite.
Instead of using the 2~hydroxy-ethane-1-sulphonates, the starting products serving for the production of the hydroxy-ethane sulphonic acid can be used and reacted with the corres-ponding phosphonates. Thus, it is possible to react carbyl 0 sulphate, which is neutralized with alkali metal hydroxides or~hos~ ~ r);c ' carbonates prior to the reaction, with aminoalkane~ ~si~-acids in an alkaline medium to the corresponding N-sulphalkane-amino-alkane phosphonic acids according to the following reactio pattern: O r î3Na2 H21 o NaOH~ RC-NflC~i C~12SO3Na + Na2So4 + H2O
Rf-N1~2 + I'12C ~ S2 P03Na2 P03Na2 0 The actual sulphalkylation occurs at temperatures fro approximately 130 to 240C under pressure.
Another possibility is the reaction of mixtures of ethylene oxide and NaliSO3 (from which the hydroxy-ethane 995i sulphonic acid can also be produced) directly with aminophos-phonic acids. For this purpose the aminophosphon~te is suitably mixed with the sodium-busulphite solution, whereupon the ethylene oxide is eitller injected or added dropwise. Tn this case the sequence in which the products are added is of decisive importance since oxiranes can react with bo-th the sod-ium bisulphite and the NH2 group to aminoalkane phosphonates.
, Thus, when changing the sequence of the addition primarily N-5p~ o~ a k5 hydroxy-alkane-aminoalkane ~ *~xnrb~ are formed. If the defined sequence is maintained, then these hydroxy-alkane derivatives are formed only in minor amounts. If ethylene oxide and NallSO~ is used, then the reaction, which is represented by the equation hereafter, is also carried out at temperatures from 180 to 240C.

I 03Me21 03Me2 R~C-~i2 + Mel-~O3 + H2C~ /CH2 ~ R C-NHCH2~12S3Me P03Me20 P3Me2 The phosphonic acids of the present invention can be readily produced in good yields and their solubility in water is very good for most purposes. They are yood complexing agents with respect to divalent and polyvalent metal ions and can be applied with advantaye wherever good complexing efficiency is required. Their hydrolysis resistance at high temperatures is particularly good so that they are applicable in all the ca~es in which temperatures above 100C are applied. They can be used in any medium in which the water softeners have an adverse effect or in which the influence of polyvalent metal ion~ is to be eliminated. This applies in particular to the treatment of hard waterl baths for treating textiles, papermaking and tanning.
The phosphonic acids of the present invention are also 9~
suitable for stabillzing the hardness of water in amounts below the stoichiometric value, i~e., for carrying out the so called "threshold process".
The extremely good solubility of the free acids which is lacking in most of the known aminophosphonic acids must be mentioned in particular. Thus, in the lowest case 100 g of the compounds described in the examples dissolve per 10Q ml.
The present invention will be further illustrated by way of the following examples.
Ex~mple 1 47.8 g of aminomethane diphosphonic acid and 50 g of NaOH are dissolved in 3U0 ml of water, whereupon a solution of 42 g of sodium-chloro-ethane sulphonate in 150 ml of water is added dropwise to the first solution at temperatures between 30 and 50C whlle stirring. The mixture is then boiled for one hour while stirring vigorously. After cooling the mixture it is weakly acidified with dilute hydrochloric acid. It is then filtered from possibly precipitating aminomethane diphosphonic acid. The solution is then treated with a cation exchanger in order to recover the free sulphophosphonic acid. After concen-trating the solution it is crystallized by adding methanol or rethanol. The N-sulphoethanc-aminomethane diphosphonic acid shows a calcium chelating power of 22.8 g of Ca per 100 g at pH 10. Yield: 92~ of the theoretical yield.
