OI~ SOLUBLE POLYSACCHARID~S
Field of ~h~ Iav~
This invention relates to polymers which are soluble in and thick~n organic solvents such as mineral oil and fatty esters. In particular the invention relates to palmitate and stearate esters of polysaccharides.

Patent 4,226,981 discloses a mi~ed ester useful as an enteric coating for drugs prepared by esterification of a cellulose ether with a mi~ture of succinic anhydride and an anhydride of an aliphatic monocarboxylic acid.

Yet in spite of what was known, it remained for the present discovery to provide oil soluble polysaccharides useful as thickeners for cosmetic and toiletry applications.

Sum~rr o~ t~ In~e~tiQ~:
It is an object of the invention to provide palmitate and stearat~ esters of polysaccharides in particular cellulose ethers.
.
Stearate and palmitate esters of hydro~ypropylcellulose are preferred where the hydro~ypropylcellulose has a molecular weight above 50,000 and tha exten~ of ester substitution is sufficient to impart solubility in mineral oil and~or fatty acids.

It is a further object of the invention to provide a method for producing p~lysaccharide palmitats and stearate esters comprising the steps:

(l) mising a polysaccharide in an organic solvent;
(2) est~rifying the polysaccharide with a palmitate and/or stearate moiety in the pre~ence of a catalyst; and (3) recovering a palmitate polysaccharide ester, a stearate polysaccha~ide ester or a mi2ed palmitate and stearate polysaccharide ester.

. : ~ : . . .
- - .

Ln a preferred method the catalyst is triethylamine~
the polysaccharide is hydro~ypropylcellulose and the organic solvent is methylene chloride.

Detq~ rie~iQ~ of th~ ~ve~iQ~:
various grades of mineral oil, as well as aliphatic esters such as isopropyl myristate and isopropyl palmitate, and aromatic esters such as alkyl benzoate esters, are widely used in the cosmetic industry. Silicone fluids, jojoba oil and essential oils are also used. Compositions o~ matter which would be suitabla to dissolve in and thicken these oils and esters have been sought after to aid in cosmetic formulations. The discovery provided by the present invention makes possible such an advance in the state of th~
art .

Polysaccharide~ suitable for the practice of the invention are currently available in commercial or developmental quantitie~ from a variety of sources. These polysaccharides can b~ grouped into the categories of (l) cellulose ethers, (2) polygalactomannans and (3~ starches.
Within group ~1) hydro~ypropylcellulose is a preferred cellulose ether, whil~ other suitable cellulose eth~rs include methylcellulose, carboxymethylhydro~ypropylcellulose, hydro~ypropylm~thylcollulose and hydroxypropylhydro~yethylcellulose. Thes~ materials are available from Rqualon Company (a Hercules Incorporated company), Dow Chemical Company and Shin-Etsu Chemical.
Within qroup (2) hydro~ypropylguar i5 a preferred polygalactomman whil~ guar and carbo~ymethylhydro~ypropylguar are also suitable within group (~) hydro2ypropyl starch is a preferred material.

':

'~ '' ' . ~

The preferred polysaccharide is hydroxypropylcellulose of M.S. 3.0-4.5 (available from Aqualon Company under the tradename Klucel 3) .

It was discovered that a polysaccharide substituted with hydro~ypropyl groups gave particularly useful benefits for cosmetic and toiletry applications. In this respect a palmitate ester of hydro~ypropylcellulose having a molar substitution by hydro~ypropyl betweerl 3.0 and 4.5 and a molecular weight above 50,000 was discovered to be the most beneficial for cosmetic and toiletry applications.

Esterification of the polysaccharide in an organic solvent or mi~ture o solvents is accomplished usin~ a moiety such as stearic acid chlorid~ or palmatic acid chloride or an anhydride thereof which can react to orm the palmitate and/or stoarate ester. It is essential for a cellulose ether, polygalactomannan or starch to contain reactive hydro~yl groups in order for esterification to take placa.
This hydro~yl reactivity i9 not inhibited if the polysaccharide is partially modified with oth2r groups.
Thus, the preferred hydro~ypropylcellulose could contain other modifying group~ ~uch as methyl, ethyl, carbo~ymethyl, etc. or even long chain hydrophobic alkyl or arylalkyl groups such as butyl, cetyl or nonylph2nyl.

It ha~ been the e~perience of persons of ordinary s~ill in the art that degr~ of substitution values determined by sa~onification technigu~s lack accuracy and precision for cellulo~ic derivatives. As a result it ha~ been discovered that measurements of the ratio of the carboxyl ester to hydro~yl stretching bands in ths Infra Red (IR) at 30 appro~imately 1734 cm~l and 3470 cm~l is useful in assessing .

.. :

2~
ae degree of esterification. A ratio great:er than 0.5 roughly corr~sponds to degrees of substitution which promote oil solubility. A preferred range for this ratio is from about 0.5 to about 50Ø

Esterification equipment and techniques useful for the practice of the invention are known irom general practice in the art and as described in the refer.ences contained in the Background of the Invention. Triethylamine is a preferred catalyst for esterification of the polysaccharide. It is also preferred that tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulfate be used as a catalyst for a phase transfer esterification, whereas sodium methoside/sodium borohydride is a preferred catalyst for trans-esterification.

In d~tail the process of the invention involves:

Mi~in~: A solution or slurry su~pen~ion of the polysaccharide is prepared in at least one organic solvent. The solution or slurry suspen~ion typically will contain from 0.05 to 0.15 mole of polysaccharide in from 0.5 to 1.5 mole of organic solvent. Good result have been obtained usinq methylene chloride, pyridine, toluen~ and 1,4-dio~ane and combinations thereof~ An aqueous phase will also be required when a phase transfer reaction is run.

Est&Liicatio~: Once the polysaccharide has been susp~nded in either solution or slurry suspension, est~rification can occur. In the event it is desired to pr~pare a mi~ed ester, the esterification can be done in one step with a mixture of, for instance, stearic acid chloride and palmitic acid chloride or stepwise by first reactin~ with stearic acid chloride followed by palmitic acid chloride. Suitable catalysts include triethylamine, sodium metho~ide/sodium borohydride, tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulfate, concentrsted sulfuric acid, p toluenesulfonic acid or a cation e~change resin in hydrogen or acid orm, depending on the type of esteriEication reaction being undertaken.

RecQvery: When the esterification reaction has been completed, ~i~ed or single esters can be recovered by conventional steps of neutraliz:ation and washing.
After cooling the reaction mi~t:ure; organic solvents such as acetone, toluene or methanol containing a small amount of water are added to destroy the e~cess acid chloride and precipitate the ester. Further washing can follow.

~ : Purified e~ters made according to the inv~ntion can be formulated into cosmetics due to their property of being soluble in both mineral oil and light esters such as jojoba oils, isopropyl myristate or isopropyl palmitate and aromatic esters such as benzoic acid alkyl esters.

An oil base cleansing or protective formulation suita~le for incorporating a polysaccharide palmitate comprises:

JF (lso~ooo mol. wt.), MF (850,000 mol. wt.) and HF (1,150,000 mol. wt.), were prepared as slurry suspensions in 750 ml methylene chloride and 250 ml triethylamine. A 0.6 mole portion oE either palmitic acid chloride or stearic acid chloride in 150 ml l,4-dio~ane was added to each suspension. With constant stirring, esterification was allowed to proceed or 24 hours at room temperature. As the esterifieation proceeded, the suspension became viscous and hard to stir. All portions reacted equivalently to produce a palmitate or stearate ester of hydro2ypropylcellulose. Purification and recovery were accomplished by pouring the reaction mi~ture with stirring into two liters of 85~ aqueous methanol and filtering the precipitated product which was a gummy solid. The gummy solid was then susp~nded in two lit~r of as~ methaQol and the pH adjusted to 4 with dilut~ hydrochloric acid. The ester was filtered, rewashed with aqucous methanol and dried under vacuum at 50C.
