Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE

Production of novel phosphobetaines of general formula I

I

in which R1 and R2 each stand for organic groups having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms, and R1 or R2 may be identical with the substituent R, the substituent R being a radical of the general formula II

II

in which R3 and R4 each stand for organic groups having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms and/or hydrogen atoms, and R5 stands for a linear or branched alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, which may optionally have a halogen or hydroxylic group substituent attached thereto. The novel phosphobetaines are useful as antistatic agents for textile materials.

Phosphonium salts from tert.iary phosphines and chloroacetic acid alkyl esters~ which are admixed with basic media, give the corresponding phosphine alkylenes ~ather than phosphobetaines containing a carbox~late group.
A further process wherein trishydrox~methylphosphine is additively combined with an aiB unsaturated car~oxylic acid in accordance with the ~ollowing reaction equation:

It has also 'been described that phosphobetaines o~

The processes described hereinabove ~or making phosphobetaines containing a car~oxylate ~roup are highly unsatisfactory inasmuch as they'call for the exclusive use of tertiary phosph.l.ne startlng materîals7 ~or which it is partially necessary to be first converted to phosphonium ~alts and :Eor the pho.sphonium salts to be then subjected to alkaline -treatment so as to o~tain the desired product.

The novel phosphobetaines of the present invention are obtained in the ~orm of colorless, thermally stable and highly ~iscous liquids.
A highly unexpected result resides in the fact - 5 ~

phosphine alkylenes and seconda,~y produc,t,s~
~ f'urther hi~hly unexpected. result resides in the :Eact that the reaction is easy to effect in a single reaction stage without any need to separate a tertiary ~hosphine intermedlate or hydrolyze a carboxylic acid ester group to the carboxylate group, and with the resultant ~o~mation of high yields of desirable phosphobetainesO me reaction should p~e:Eera~ly be e~fected in the presen,ce of a catalyst~
The useful catalysts primarily comprise chlorides 9 ~ulfates and acetates of metals, such as ca~mium~

Apart from water, the reaction mixture may contain one or more ~'urther solvents which primarily include.
alcohols or acetonitrile, It is ~inally advantageous to effect the reaction under inert ga~$ e~g. nitrogen~
The phosphobetaines obtained by the process o~
this invention are ~ery pure (9~99 ~). They are obtained in good yieLds a~ter disti-L:Lative removal of the water or water/solvent-mixture~

favorably with the~rior art methods, principally in respect o~ the following points: It is a single stage reaction,~which is easy to ca.rry out without any ~eed to isolate intermediates~ and it produces readily separable, uni~orm and very pure final products in good yields.
