Description

PRO-FRAGRANCE SILICONE -POLYMER AND
COMPOSITIONS THEREOF
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a pro-fragrance silicone polymer and compositions thereof, more specifically a pro-fragrance silicone polymer derived ~o from an aminoalkyi polysiloxane and a fragrance carbonyl compound.
BACKGROUND
Most consumers have come to expect pleasingly scented laundry products, as well as such products imparting the pleasing scent to laundered ~5 fabrics. Consumers also desire that laundered fabrics retain a pleasant fragrance over time. Perfume additives have been employed to impart an aesthetically pleasing scent io laundry products such as laundry detergents and fabric conditioners. In some case, these perfumes also impart their fragrance to fabrics treated with the perfumed laundry product. Consumers have also come Zo to expect laundry products which provide a soft andlor smooth tactile sensation to the laundered products. Additionally, consumers have come to expect hair products which produce a pleasing scent and providing softness to the hair.
Certain odoriferous acetals and ketats capable of producing additional desirable odor upon hydrolysis, have long been known in pertumery. See z5 Steffen Arctander, "Perfume and Flavor Chemicals," Arctander, N.J., 19fi9, and U_S. patent 5,37$,468, Suffis et al., issued January 3, 1995. Certain classes of acetals and ketals, formulated into detergent compositions can produce a delayed release of fragrance. Such pro-fragrance acetals and ketals, once deposited onto fabrics during washing process, tend to produce pleasing 3o fragrances upon hydrolysis of the acetals and ketals by humidity and sweat during wearing of the laundered fabrics. See, PTCIUS96I04060, Mao et al.
_ Silicone polymers are widely known and have been used for providing softness and smoothness to a surface, e.g., of skin, textile fibers, tissues, and hair. t7epending on structures and properties of silicone polymer, there are two s5 main areas for the use of such silicone polymer. One area is for surface treating WO 99/4631$ PG?t11S98/04950 to provide softness to materials such as fibers, tissues, or clothes as pre-treating agent. Conventional silicone polymers are also used in various products, e.g., cleaning or laundry detergents, fabric softeners, shampoos, heir conditioner, which are applied later during process of washing, for maintaining softness of - .
materials such as fabrics and hair. In addition, such products containing silicone polymers tend to be used on a daily basis to maintain softness or provide further softness to fabrics and/or hair.
Aminoalicy polysiloxanes are one type of conventional silicone polymer employed as a softening agent in applications for washing; for example, ~o detergent, fabric softener, and the like. Such amino polysiloxanes can be formulated alone or in combination with any materials commonly used in laundry products, e.g., surtactants such as anionic, cationic, and nonionic surfactants and polyurethane in compositions. See Japan publication (KOKAI) H8-32x952, issued December 10, 1996, and Japan patent publication (KQKAI) H8-246354, ~s issued September 24, 1996, and U.S. Patent 5,591,880 to Anthony J.
O'Lenick, Jr, issued January 7, 1997. One class of amino polysiloxanes having an alkylene moiety is disclosed to provide improved dispersion in addition to softness to fabrics. See U.S. Patent 5,378,7$7 to Vrckovnik et al., issued January 3, 1995.
Due to deposition property of silicone polymers to maintain softness of fabric and zo the hair, these silicone polymers are formulated into applications such as detergents and softeners for daily washing in addition to pre-treatment.
However, neither of these approaches successfully provide a pro-fragrance silicone polymer having improved deposition onto fabric andlor hair, providing softness, andlor releasing a pleasant fragrance by hydrolysis.
2s Based on the foregoing, there is a need for providing a pro-fragrance silicone polymer that can provide a fabric andlor hair softening effect, andlor desirable post-deposition release of a pleasant odor.

The pro-fragrance silicone polymer of the present invention is derived from s an aminoalkyt polysiloxane and a fragrance carbonyl compound by condensation which produces a schiff base unit. Such fragrance sources of the pro-fragrance silicone polymer produce a pleasant fragrance. Without being bound by theory, it is believed that due to less volatility, a silicone polymer (e.g., aminoalkyl polysiloxane) generally produces little smell so that the pro-fragrance silicone o polymer derived herein in itself tends to be smelled weakly d wring depositing onto the surface, e.g., of fabric or hair. Most of the pleasing smell is produced by hydrolysis of schiff base moiety of the pro-fragrance silicone polymer rather than provide good fragrance in a non-hydrolyzed state. Consequently, the pro-fragrance silicone polymer herein releases a pleasant fragrance by hydrolysis.
~s Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction against condensation or dehydration.
The mechanism of hydrolysis generally proceeds against steps of condensation on a reactive center. Such hydrolysis, herein, is caused on the schiff base of structure (I) which is prepared by an aminoalkyl polysiloxane and a fragrance carbonyl compound. The schiff base of the pro-fragrance silicone polymer tends 2o to be hydrolyzed by humidity and sweat when the pro-fragrance when depositing to the fabric and the hair. The hydrolysis of the pro-fragrance silicone polymer herein can be characterized by a half life less than fi0 minutes when measured at pH 0 by the Hydrolysis Half life (t-112) Test as described herein.
The pro-fragrance silicone polymers of the present invention are stable under pH conditions encountered in the formulation and storage of products containing the pro-fragrance silicone (e.g., laundry detergents, fabric softeners, shampoos, hair conditioners) which have a pH of from about 7.1 to about 13, and during solution-use of such products. Due to hydrophilicity and high degree of heteroatom incorporation, these pro-fragrance compounds give reasonably good 3o deposition from e.g., a taundering solution onto fabrics (or lathering solution to hair.) Because the pro-fragrance silicone polymers are subject to hydrolysis when the pH is reduced, they are hydrolyzed to release fragrance carbonyl compound when the fabrics (or other surtace) upon which they have been deposited are exposed even to reduced pH such as is present in rinse water and ss humidity. Such a reduction in pH is preferably at least about 0.1, more preferably at least about 0.5 units. Preferably the pH is reduced by at least about 0.5 units to a pH of about 7.5 or less, more preferably about 6.9 or less_ Preferably, the solution in which the fabric (or other surtace) is washed is alkaline_ The pro-fragrance silicone polymer of the present invention may be further - _ designed to readily disperse in aqueous solution and thereby result in reasonably good deposition, e_g_, from laundering solution onto fabric.
B. Arninoafk~ Pol~rsiloxane The pro-fragrance silicone polymer of the present invention can be derived from an aminoalkyl polysiloxane and a fragrance carbonyl compound by o condensation_ The arninoalkyl polysiloxane of the present invention can include any component which provides softening efficacy to, e.g., fabric or hair. The aminoalkyl polysiloxane useful herein also can provide durability, wrinkle control, and water dispersability, along w'tth softening to the fabrics and the hair.
For ~s example, laundry detergents for fabrics; softeners far fabrics or textile fibers, cleaning products for the hair or the skin are useful.

E. Test Methods for Determining H~rdrolyrsis Half life (t-1121 Hydrolysis half life is the measurement used to determine the ease with which the pro-fragrance silicone polymer undergoes acid hydrolysis and thereby releases fragrance components) upon exposure to acid conditions. The pro-~o fragrance silicone polymer of the present invention preferably has a half-life of less than f0 minutes, under the described hydrolysis conditions at pH 0; more preferably a half-life at pH 2 of less than f0 minutes.
When the pro-fragrance silicone polymer is used in granular detergents, the more reactive pro-fragrance silicone polymer, that is, those with half-life at pH
~s 2 of less than one minute, are most suitable, although those having a half-fife of less than 60 minutes at pH 0 are also useful. For liquid detergent applications, pro-fragrance silicone polymers having a half life of less than 60 minutes at pH 0, and half life greater than one minute at pH 2 should preferably be used.
Hydrolysis half life is determined by UVIV spectroscopy in a 90110 2o dioxanelwater system at 30°C by following the appearance of the carbonyl absorbance. Because of the hydrophobicity of the pro-fragrance silicone polymer herein, a high dioxanelwater ratio is needed to ensure solubility of the pro fragrance silicone polymer. The pH of the water used is achieved by using aqueous HCI. The concentration of the pro-fragrance silicone polymer in the 25 dioxanelwater system can be adjusted to achieve convenient, measurable absorbance changes.
All measurements are carried out using a Hewlett Packard 8452 A Diode Array Spectrophotometer using quartz 1 cm path length cuvette cells. Materials used include 1,4-dioxane HPLC Grade 99.9°/a (Sigma-Aldrich), 1 N HCI
volumetric . 3o solution {J.T. Baker), deipnized water filtered with MiIIiQPIus (Millipore) at resistivity of '18.2 M Ohm cm_ The pH's are measured using an 4rion 230 A
_ standardized with pH 4 and pH 7 buffers. The 1 N HCI standard is used directly for pH 0 conditions. For pH 2 conditions, 1 N HCI is diluted with deionized water.
Pro-fragrance silicone polymer is weighed out in a l0ml volumetric flask 35 using an analytical balance {Mettler AE 200) Precision is 1/10 mg. The weighed t8 material is dissolved in about 8ml dioxane. Both the dioxane solution of pro-fragrance silicone polymer and aqueous acid solution prepared as described supra are pre-heated in their separate containers to a temperature of 3p _+
0.25°C by means of a water-bath. 1.OOOmI of aqueous acid solution is added to -s the pro-fragrance solution by means of an Eppendorf pipetter. This is followed by diluting to the l0rnl mark with dioxane- Hydrolysis time is measured, starting upon addition of the acid. The pro-fragrance solution is mixed for 30 seconds by shaking, and the solution is transferred to a quartz cuvette. The absorbance of the pro-fragrance solution (A~ is followed at a regular series of time intervals, ~o and the cuvette is kept in the water-bath at the above-indicated temperature between measurements. Initial absorbance (Ao) measurements are carried out using an equal concentration of pro-fragrance in a 90110 v/v dioxane -deioniaed water solution, and final absorbance (Af) measurements are taken using the hydrolyzed pro-fragrance solution after the hydrolysis is complete- ; The ~s wavelength at which the hydrolysis is followed is chosen at the wavelength of the absorbance maximum of the starting fragrance carbonyl compound such as aldehydes or ketones_ Reaction half lifes are determined using conventional procedures. The observed first-order rate constant (kobs) is determined by slope of the fine 2o provided by plotting the following function vs time (min):
Ln [(Ao - Af)I (At - Af)l wherein the function is the natural log of the ratio between the absorbance difference at initial time (Ao) and final time (Af) over the absorbance difference at time t (A~ and final time (Af).
zs Half life as defined herein is the time required for half of the pro-fragrance silicone polymer to be hydrolyzed, and is determined from the observed rate constant (kobs) bY the following function:
Ln ( 1/2) - -kobs t 112 F. Method of Use 3° I. Acceotabl Carrier The pro-fragrance silicone polymer of the present invention can be used in a variety of the products in different industries.
