Definitions
- This invention relates to bleaching compositions comprising peracid precursors, more particularly acyloxynitrogen peracid precursors.
- peroxygen bleach activator compounds that aid in providing efficient peroxygen bleaching of fabrics over a wide temperature range when combined with a source of hydrogen peroxide in aqueous media are utilized.
- R is a straight or branched chain C 1-20 alkyl, alkoxyl, cycloalkyl and mixtures thereof;
- R 1 contains at least one carbon atom which is singly bonded directly to N;
- n is an integer from 1 to 6 and
- X is methylene or a heteroatom: or wherein n is the same as in (I); but
- R 2 contains a carbon atom doubly bonded directly to N, and, either X is a heteroatom, R is C 4 - 17 alkyl or both.
- peroxygen bleaches are effective in removing stains and/or soils from textiles. They may be used on a wide variety of fabrics and coloured garments.
- efficacy of peroxygen bleaches may vary greatly with temperature of the wash water in which they are used and they are usually most effective when the bleaching solution is above 130°F (54°C). Below this temperature, it has been found that peroxide bleaching efficacy may be greatly increased by the simultaneous use of activators, otherwise known as peracid precursors. It has widely been accepted that in aqueous media, precursors and peroxygen combine to form peracid species.
- Peracids themselves may be hazardous to make and are particularly prone to decomposition upon long-term storage. Thus it is advantageous to prepare the more stable peracid precursor compounds, which in alkaline water solution will react with peroxide anion to form the desired peracid in situ. As may be seen from the extensive literature in this area, many such peroxygen activators (peracid precursors) have been proposed. However, no reference appears to have taught, disclosed or suggested the advantages of leaving groups containing nitrogen in perhydrolysis.
- U.S. Patent No. 3,975,153 teaches the use of only isophorone oxime acetate as a bleach activator. It is claimed that this isophorone derivative results in an activator of low odour and low toxicity.
- U.S. Patent No. 3,816,319 the use of diacylated glyoximes is taught. The use is restricted to diacylated dialkylglyoximes wherein the alkyl group contains one to four carbon atoms and the acyl group contains two to four atoms.
- a peracid precursor contains oxime as a leaving group.
- neither reference discloses the unique advantages conferred by surface active peracid precursors which contain about 4-14 carbons in the acyl group.
- the present invention relates to a bleaching composition
- a bleaching composition comprising:
- R is C1-2c alkyl or alkoxylated alkyl. More preferably, R is C 4 - 17 , and mixtures thereof. R may also be mono- or poly-unsaturated. If alkoxylated, ethoxy (EO) -(-OCH 2 CH 2 ) and propoxy (PO) -(-OCH 2 CH 2 CH 2 ) groups are preferred, and may be present, per mole of ester, from 1 to 30 EO or PO groups, and mixtures thereof.
- EO ethoxy
- PO propoxy
- R is preferred for R to be from 4 to 17, and especially from 6 to 12, carbons in the alkyl chain.
- alkyl groups would be surface active and would be desirable when the precursor is used to form surface active peracids for oxidizing fat or oil based soils from substrates at relatively low temperatures.
- alkyl groups are generally introduced onto the ester via an acid chloride synthesis discussed further below.
- Fatty acid chlorides such as hexanoyl chloride, heptanoyl chloride, octanoyl chloride, nonanoyl chloride and decanoyl chloride, provide this alkyl moiety.
- an aromatic acid chloride may be used, such as phenoxyacetyl chloride, although this is the subject of concurrently filed application:// entitled “Peroxyacids, Phenoxyacetate Peracid Precursors and Perhydrolysis Systems", (based on USSN 927,856 and USSN 45,197).
- X when n is 1, X is at the alpha-position to the terminal carbonyl group.
- X under certain circumstances, such as when the nitrogen of the oxynitrogen bond is itself double bonded to a carbon atom (structure (II)), forming an oxime, X is O, oxygen.
- X could also be another electronegative atom, such as -S-(sulphide), -N-(amine) or even -NH 4 - (quaternary ammonium). In accordance with the present invention, however, it is most preferable that X is O (oxygen), or methylene.
- the base carbonyl is an acetic acid or propionic acid derivative.
- the acetic acid derivatives have been found surprisingly effective and are discussed in two concurrently filed applications 7-8 and .... entitled “Bleaching Compositions, Glycolate Ester Peracids and Precursors", and “Peroxyacids, Phenoxyacetate Peracid Precursors and Perhydrolysis Systems” (based on USSN 928,070 and USSN 927,856/USSN 45,197, respectively.)
- Perhydrolysis is the reaction which occurs when a peracid precursor or activator is combined in a reaction medium (aqueous medium) with an effective amount of a source of hydrogen peroxide.
- the leaving group is basically a substituent which is attached via an oxygen bond to the acyl portion of the ester and which may be replaced by a perhydroxide anion (OOH-) during perhydrolysis.
- These leaving groups have an oxygen atom attached to nitrogen which in turn may be attached to carbon atoms in a variety of structural configurations.
- the oxygen of the leaving group is attached directly to the carbonyl carbon to form the intact precursor.
- the first preferred structure for R is where the nitrogen atom is attached to two carbonyl carbon groups.
- R3 and R4 may be the same or different, and are preferably straight chain or branched C 1-20 alkyl, aryl, alkylaryl or mixtures thereof. If alkyl, R 3 and R 4 may be partially unsaturated. It is especially preferred that R 3 and R 4 are straight or branched chain C 1 - 6 alkyls, which may be the same or different.
- R 5 is preferably C 1 - 20 alkyl, aryl or alkylaryl, and completes a heterocycle.
- R 5 includes the preferred structure: wherein R 6 may be an aromatic ring fused to the heterocycle, or C 1-6 alkyl.
- these leaving group structures could contain an acyclic or cyclic oxyimide moiety.
- the above precursor may be seen as a combination of a carboxylic acid and a hydroxyimide compound:

This R 10 substituent may also be partially unsaturated. It is most preferred that R 8 and R 9 are relatively short chain alkyl groups (CH 3 or CH 2 CH 3 ) and R 10 is preferably C 1-20 alkyl, forming together a tertiary amine oxide.

- Oximes are generally derived from the reaction of hydroxylamines with either aldehydes or ketones (Allinger et al, Organic Chemistry, 2d Ed., p.562 (1976), both of which are within the scope of the present invention.
- Examples of an oxime leaving group are: (a) oximes of aldehydes (aldoximes), e.g., acetaldoxime, benzaldoxime, propionaldoxime, butylaldoxime, heptaldoxime, phenylacetaldoxime, p-tolualdoxime, anisal- doxime, caproaldoxime, valeraldoxime and p-nitrobenzaldoxime; and (b) oximes of ketones (ketoximes), e.g., acetone oxime (2-propanone oxime), methyl ethyl ketoxime (2-butanone oxime), 2-pentanone oxime, 2-hexanone oxime, 3-hexanone
- Particularly preferred oxime leaving groups are:

Abstract
- (a) a peracid precursor corresponding to the following general formula:
- (b) a bleach-effective amount of a source of hydrogen peroxide;
and, optionally, - (c) an adjunct selected from surfactants, builders, fillers, enzymes, fluorescent whitening agents, pigments, dyes, fragrances, stabilizers and buffers is disclosed. Peracid precursors containing such oxynitrogen leaving groups provide new, proficient and cost-effective compounds for fabric bleaching.
Description
- This invention relates to bleaching compositions comprising peracid precursors, more particularly acyloxynitrogen peracid precursors. According to the present invention peroxygen bleach activator compounds that aid in providing efficient peroxygen bleaching of fabrics over a wide temperature range when combined with a source of hydrogen peroxide in aqueous media are utilized. These compounds have the general structures:
- It is well known that peroxygen bleaches are effective in removing stains and/or soils from textiles. They may be used on a wide variety of fabrics and coloured garments. However, the efficacy of peroxygen bleaches may vary greatly with temperature of the wash water in which they are used and they are usually most effective when the bleaching solution is above 130°F (54°C). Below this temperature, it has been found that peroxide bleaching efficacy may be greatly increased by the simultaneous use of activators, otherwise known as peracid precursors. It has widely been accepted that in aqueous media, precursors and peroxygen combine to form peracid species. However, efficacy of most precursors, such as tetracetylethylene diamine (TAED), is also dependent on high wash water temperature. However, there is a need for bleach activator or peracid precursor compounds which are able to react with peroxide efficiently at low temperatures (70-100° F; 21-38° C) to form peracids in good yields for proper cleaning performance.
- Peracids themselves may be hazardous to make and are particularly prone to decomposition upon long-term storage. Thus it is advantageous to prepare the more stable peracid precursor compounds, which in alkaline water solution will react with peroxide anion to form the desired peracid in situ. As may be seen from the extensive literature in this area, many such peroxygen activators (peracid precursors) have been proposed. However, no reference appears to have taught, disclosed or suggested the advantages of leaving groups containing nitrogen in perhydrolysis.
- Various compounds have been disclosed in the prior art that contain nitrogen as part of the leaving group of the peroxygen precursors. U.S. Patent Nos. 3,969,257, 3,655,567, 3,061,550 and 3,928,223 appear to disclose the use of acyl groups attached to nitrogen atoms as leaving groups for activators. In all these examples, the acyl carbon atom is directly attached to the nitrogen atom. The nitrogen may in turn be attached to other carbonyl carbon groups.
- In U.S. Patent No. 4,164,395, a sulphonyl group is attached to the nitrogen atom of the leaving group. The activator structure is thus a sulphonyl oxime.
- U.S. Patent No. 3,975,153 teaches the use of only isophorone oxime acetate as a bleach activator. It is claimed that this isophorone derivative results in an activator of low odour and low toxicity. In U.S. Patent No. 3,816,319, the use of diacylated glyoximes is taught. The use is restricted to diacylated dialkylglyoximes wherein the alkyl group contains one to four carbon atoms and the acyl group contains two to four atoms. In neither reference is it disclosed, taught or suggested that it is surprisingly necessary to provide a heteroatom alpha to the carbonyl of the acyl group if a peracid precursor contains oxime as a leaving group. Additionally, neither reference discloses the unique advantages conferred by surface active peracid precursors which contain about 4-14 carbons in the acyl group.
- In one embodiment, the present invention relates to a bleaching composition comprising:
- (a) a peracid precursor having the general structure:
- (b) a bleach-effective amount of a source of hydrogen peroxide.
- The complete precursor (an ester) is
wherein n is the same as in (I); but R contains a carbon atom doubly bonded directly to N, and, either X is a heteroatom, R is C4-17 alkyl or both. - It is preferred that R is C1-2c alkyl or alkoxylated alkyl. More preferably, R is C4-17, and mixtures thereof. R may also be mono- or poly-unsaturated. If alkoxylated, ethoxy (EO) -(-OCH2CH2) and propoxy (PO) -(-OCH2CH2CH2) groups are preferred, and may be present, per mole of ester, from 1 to 30 EO or PO groups, and mixtures thereof.
- It is preferred for R to be from 4 to 17, and especially from 6 to 12, carbons in the alkyl chain. Such alkyl groups would be surface active and would be desirable when the precursor is used to form surface active peracids for oxidizing fat or oil based soils from substrates at relatively low temperatures.
- These alkyl groups are generally introduced onto the ester via an acid chloride synthesis discussed further below. Fatty acid chlorides such as hexanoyl chloride, heptanoyl chloride, octanoyl chloride, nonanoyl chloride and decanoyl chloride, provide this alkyl moiety. When it is desired to introduce an aryl group, an aromatic acid chloride may be used, such as phenoxyacetyl chloride, although this is the subject of concurrently filed application..... entitled "Peroxyacids, Phenoxyacetate Peracid Precursors and Perhydrolysis Systems", (based on USSN 927,856 and USSN 45,197).
- Also, in the above generic structures for the present precursors, when n is 1, X is at the alpha-position to the terminal carbonyl group. In the present invention, under certain circumstances, such as when the nitrogen of the oxynitrogen bond is itself double bonded to a carbon atom (structure (II)), forming an oxime, X is O, oxygen. X, however, could also be another electronegative atom, such as -S-(sulphide), -N-(amine) or even -NH 4 - (quaternary ammonium). In accordance with the present invention, however, it is most preferable that X is O (oxygen), or methylene.
- As mentioned, n = 1 to 6 carbylene substituents, but n = 1 to 3 is more preferred, and most preferably n does not exceed about 2.
- When n = 1 or 2, the base carbonyl is an acetic acid or propionic acid derivative. The acetic acid derivatives have been found surprisingly effective and are discussed in two concurrently filed applications ..... and .... entitled "Bleaching Compositions, Glycolate Ester Peracids and Precursors", and "Peroxyacids, Phenoxyacetate Peracid Precursors and Perhydrolysis Systems" (based on USSN 928,070 and USSN 927,856/USSN 45,197, respectively.)
- When the heteroatom, X is O (oxygen), and n is 1, the effect of an electronegative substituent alpha to the terminal carbonyl enhances the reactivity of the present precursors.
- The electronic effect of this modification at the proximal methylene group (when n = 1) appears to make the carbonyl group more susceptible to nucleophilic attack by a perhydroxide anion. The resulting enhanced reactivity results in higher peracid yields at low temperatures (e.g., 70° F; 21 ° C), across a broader pH range, and makes the perhydrolysis reaction to generate peracids less susceptible to critical activator to H202 ratios. However, in another embodiment, when the leaving group of the precursor is structure (I), -ONR1, it is preferred that X is methylene. As a representative example, the octanyl group,
- In the following discussion, certain definitions are utilized:
- Peracid precursor is generally equivalent to bleach activator. Both terms generally relate herein to reactive esters which have a leaving group substituent, which during perhydrolysis, actually cleave off the acyl portion of the ester.
- Perhydrolysis is the reaction which occurs when a peracid precursor or activator is combined in a reaction medium (aqueous medium) with an effective amount of a source of hydrogen peroxide.
- The leaving group is basically a substituent which is attached via an oxygen bond to the acyl portion of the ester and which may be replaced by a perhydroxide anion (OOH-) during perhydrolysis.
-
- The present invention utilises, in particular, oxynitrogen leaving groups having the general structures (I)-ONR1 and (II) -ON=R2 which are attached to an acvl.
-
- The first preferred structure for R is where the nitrogen atom is attached to two carbonyl carbon groups.
- The leaving group then would be an oxyimide group :
-
- These esters of imides may be prepared as described in Greene, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, p. 183, and are generally the reaction products of acid chlorides and hydroxyimides.
- Examples of N-hydroxyimides which will provide the oxyimide leaving groups in accordance with the present invention includes:
- N-hydroxysuccinimide, N-hydroxyphthalimide, N-hydroxyglutarimide, N-hydroxynaphthalimide, N-hydroxyma- leimide, N-hydroxydiacetylimide and N-hydroxydipropionylimide.
-
- When treated with peroxide anion, a peracid is formed and the leaving group departs with oxygen attached to nitrogen and a negative charge on the oxygen atoms. The pKa (about 6) of the resulting hydroxyimides is quite low, making them excellent leaving groups.
-
- In the first preferred structure for amine oxides, R8 and R9 may be the same or different, and are preferably Ci-20 straight or branched chain alkyl, aryl, alkylaryl or mixtures thereof. If alkyl, the substituent may be partially unsaturated. Preferably, R8 and R9 are C1-4alkyls and may be the same or different. R10 is preferably C1-30 alkyl, aryl, alkylaryl and mixtures thereof. This R10 substituent may also be partially unsaturated. It is most preferred that R8 and R9 are relatively short chain alkyl groups (CH3 or CH2CH3) and R10 is preferably C1-20 alkyl, forming together a tertiary amine oxide.
- Furthermore, in the second preferred amine oxide structure, R11 may be C1-20 alkyl, aryl or alkylaryl, and completes a heterocycle. R11 preferably completes an aromatic heterocycle of 5 carbon atoms and may be C1-6alkyl or aryl substituted. R12 is preferably nothing, C1-30 alkyl, aryl, alkylaryl or mixtures thereof. R12 is more preferably C 1-20 alkyl if R11 completes an aliphatic heterocycle. If R11 completes an aromatic heterocycle, R12 is nothing.

- Amine oxides may be prepared as described in March, Advanced Organic Chemistry, 2d Ed., 1977, p.1,111.
- Examples of amine oxides suitable for use as leaving groups may be derived from: pyridine N-oxide, trimethylamine N-oxide, 4-phenyl pyridine N-oxide, decyldimethylamine N-oxide, dodecyldimethylamine N-oxide, tetradecyldimethylamine N-oxide, hexadecyldimethylamine N-oxide, octyldimethylamine N-oxide, di(decyl)methylamine N-oxide, di(dodecyl)methylamine N-oxide, di(tetradecyl)methylamine N-oxide, 4-picoline N-oxide, 3-picoline N-oxide and 2-picoline N-oxide.
-
- When the precursor is attacked by peroxide anion, a peracid is formed and the leaving group leaves as an amine oxide, again with oxygen attached to nitrogen and the negative charge on the oxygen.
- When the oxynitrogen leaving group is structure (II) -ON = R2, preferred examples thereof are oximes.
- In these oxime leaving groups, the nitrogen atom is attached to a carbon atom via a double bond.
-
- As mentioned above, since R2 comprises carbon double bonded directly to the nitrogen of the oxynitrogen bond, either (a) the R group of the acyl is preferably C4-17, more preferably Ce-i 2, alkyl (resulting in a surface active ester) or (b) X, the heteroatom is oxygen and the carbylene number, n, is 1, or (c) both conditions may occur.
-
-
- Oximes are generally derived from the reaction of hydroxylamines with either aldehydes or ketones (Allinger et al, Organic Chemistry, 2d Ed., p.562 (1976), both of which are within the scope of the present invention. Examples of an oxime leaving group are: (a) oximes of aldehydes (aldoximes), e.g., acetaldoxime, benzaldoxime, propionaldoxime, butylaldoxime, heptaldoxime, phenylacetaldoxime, p-tolualdoxime, anisal- doxime, caproaldoxime, valeraldoxime and p-nitrobenzaldoxime; and (b) oximes of ketones (ketoximes), e.g., acetone oxime (2-propanone oxime), methyl ethyl ketoxime (2-butanone oxime), 2-pentanone oxime, 2-hexanone oxime, 3-hexanone oxime, cyclohexanone oxime, acetophenone oxime, benzophenone oxime, and cyclopentanone oxime.
-
- When attacked by peroxide anion, the oxime ester forms a peracid and the oxime becomes the leaving group. It is rather surprising that the oximes are such good leaving groups since their pKa values (about 12) are rather high for a good leaving group. Previous experience teaches that leaving groups with pKa values for their conjugate acids in the 8-10 range make the best leaving groups. Although there are examples in the prior art of oxime esters (U.S. Patent Nos. 4,164,395 and 3,975,153), in fact, no mention is made that a heteroatom alpha to the carbonyl group on the acyl portion of the ester is necessary for good perhydrolysis yields; or that if the R group of the acyl is C4-1 alkyl, more preferably Cs-1 2alkyl, surface active peracid precursors giving rise to surface active peracids will result.
- The present precursors may be incorporated into a liquid or solid matrix for use in liquid or solid detergent bleaches by dissolving into an appropriate solvent or surfactant or by dispersing liquid or liquified precursors onto a substrate material, such as an inert salt (e.g., NaCl, Na2SO4) or other solid substrate, such as zeolites, sodium borate, or molecular sieves. Examples of appropriate solvents include acetone, non-nucleophilic alcohols, ethers or hydrocarbons.
- Other more water-dispersible or -miscible solvents may be considered. As an example of affixation to a substrate material, the present precursors could be incorporated onto a non-particulate substrate such as disclosed in published European Patent Application EP 98 129.
- The present precursors with oxynitrogen leaving groups are apparently not as soluble in aqueous media as phenyl sulphonates. Thus, a preferred embodiment of the present invention is to combine the precursors with a surfactant. It is particularly preferred to coat these precursors with a nonionic or anionic surfactant that is solid at room temperature and melts at above about 40° C. A melt of surfactant may be simply admixed with peracid precursor, cooled and chopped into granules. Exemplary surfactants for such use are illustrated in Table I below:
- The precursors, whether coated with the surfactants with melting completion temperatures above about 40°C or not so coated, could also be admixed with other surfactants to provide, depending on formulation, either bleach additive or detergent compositions.
- Particularly effective surfactants appear to be nonionic surfactants. Preferred surfactants for use include linear ethoxylated alcohols, such as those sold by Shell Chemical Company under the brand name Neodol. Other suitable nonionic surfactants may include other linear ethoxylated alcohols with an average length of 6 to 16 carbon atoms and averaging about 2 to 20 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of alcohol; linear and branched, primary and secondary ethoxylated, propoxylated alcohols with an average length of about 6 to 16 carbon atoms and averaging 0-10 moles of ethylene oxide and about 1 to 10 moles of propylene oxide per mole of alcohol; linear and branched alkylphenoxy (polyethoxy) alcohols, otherwise known as ethoxylated alkylphenols, with an average chain length of 8 to 16 carbon atoms and averaging 1.5 to 30 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of alcohol; and mixtures thereof.
- Further suitable nonionic surfactants may include polyoxyethylene carboxylic acid esters, fatty acid glycerol esters, fatty acid and ethoxylated fatty acid alkanolamides, certain block copolymers of propylene oxide and ethylene oxide, and block polymers of propylene oxide and ethylene oxide with propoxylated ethylene diamine. Also included are such semi-polar nonionic surfactants as amine oxides, phosphine oxides, sulphoxides, and their ethoxylated derivatives.
- Anionic surfactants may also be suitable. Examples of such anionic surfactants may include the ammonium, substituted ammonium (e.g., mono-, di-, and triethanolammonium), alkali metal and alkaline earth metal salts of C6-C20 fatty acids and rosin acids, linear and branched alkyl benzene sulphonates, alkyl sulphates, alkyl ether sulphates, alkane sulphonates, olefin sulphonates, hydroxyalkane sulphonates, fatty acid monoglyceride sulphates, alkyl glyceryl ether sulphates, acyl sarcosinates and acyl N-methyltaurides.
- Suitable cationic surfactants may include the quaternary ammonium compounds in which typically one of the groups linked to the nitrogen atom is a C12-C18 alkyl group and the other three groups are short chained alkyl groups which may bear inert substituents such as phenyl groups.
- Furthermore, suitable amphoteric and zwitterionic surfactants which contain an anionic water-solubilizing group, a cationic group and a hydrophobic organic group may include amino carboxylic acids and their salts, amino dicarboxylic acids and their salts, alkylbetaines, alkyl aminopropylbetaines, sulphobetaines, alkyl imidazolinium derivatives, certain quaternary ammonium compounds, certain quaternary phosphonium compounds and certain tertiary sulphonium compounds. Other examples of potentially suitable zwitterionic surfactants may be found described in U.S. Patent No. 4,005,029, at columns 11-15.
- Further examples of anionic, nonionic, cationic and amphoteric surfactants which may be suitable for use in accordance with the present invention are depicted in Kirk-Othmer, Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology,Third Edition, Volume 22, pages 347-387, and McCutcheon's Detergents and Emulsifiers, North American Edition, 1983.
- As mentioned above, other common detergent adjuncts may be added if a bleach or detergent bleach product is desired. If, for example, a dry bleach composition is desired, the following ranges (weight 0/0) appear practicable:
- 0.5-50.0% Hydrogen Peroxide Source
- 0.05-25.0% Precursor
- 1.0-50.00/0 Surfactant
- 1.0-50.00/0 Buffer
- 5.0-99.9% Filler, stabilizers, dyes, fragrances, brighteners, etc.
- The hydrogen peroxide source may be selected from the alkali metal salts of percarbonate, perborate, persilicate and hydrogen peroxide adducts and hydrogen peroxide. Most preferred are sodium percarbonate, sodium perborate mono- and tetra-hydrate, and hydrogen peroxide. Other peroxygen sources may be possible, such as monopersulphates and monoperphosphates. In liquid applications, liquid hydrogen peroxide solutions are preferred, but the precursor may need to be kept separate therefrom prior to combination in aqueous solution to prevent premature decomposition.
- The range of peroxide to peracid precursor is preferably determined as a molar ratio of peroxide to ester groups contained in the precursor. Thus, the range of peroxide to each ester group is preferably a molar ratio of from about 0:5 to 10:1, more preferably about 1:1 to 5:1 and most preferably about 1:1 to 2:1. It is preferred that this peracid precursor/peroxide composition provide preferably about 0.5 to 100 ppm A.O., and most preferably about 1 to 50 ppm A.O., and most preferably about 1 to 20 ppm A.O., in aqueous media.
- A description and explanation of A.O. measurement is to be found in the article of Sheldon N. Lewis, "Peracid and Peroxide Oxidations", In: Oxidation, 1969, pp. 213-258. Determination of the peracid may be ascertained by the analytical techniques taught in Organic Peracid, (Ed. by D. Swern), Vol. 1, pp. 501 et seq. (CH.7) (1970).
- An example of a practical execution of a liquid delivery system is to dispense separately metered amounts of the precursor (in some non-reactive fluid medium) and liquid hydrogen peroxide in a container such as described in U.S. Patent No. 4,585,150.
- A buffer may be selected from sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium borate, sodium silicate, phosphoric acid salts, and other alkali metal/alkaline earth metal salts known to those skilled in the art. Organic buffers, such as succinates, maleates and acetates may also be suitable for use. It appears preferable to have sufficient buffer to attain an alkaline pH, i.e., above at least about 7.0, more preferably above about pH 9.0, and most preferably above about pH 10.0.
- The filler material, which, in a detergent bleach application, may actually constitute the major constituent, by weight, of the detergent bleach, is usually sodium sulphate. Sodium chloride is another potential filler. Dyes include anthraquinone and similar blue dyes. Pigments, such as ultramarine blue (UMB), may also be used, and may have a bluing effect by depositing on fabrics washed with a detergent bleach containing UMB. Monastral colourants are also possible for inclusion. Brighteners, such as stilbene, styrene and styrylnaphthalene brighteners (fluorescent whitening agents), may be included. Fragrances used for aesthetic purposes. are commercially available from Norda, International Flavors and Fragrances and Givaudon. Stabilizers include hydrated salts, such as magnesium sulphate, and boric acid.
-
-
- Other peroxygen sources, such as sodium perborate monohydrate or sodium percarbonate are suitable. If a more detergent-type product is desired, the amount of filler may be increased and the precursor halved or further decreased.
- The oxime esters may be prepared by treatment of an oxime with the acid chloride of the corresponding carboxylic acid. In order to have a liquid reaction medium, a non-reactive solvent is added, and a base.
- The oximes may be purchased or prepared by treatment of a carbonyl compound with hydroxylamine. Two oximes, acetone oxime and methyl ethyl ketone oxime are readily available from commercial sources and are inexpensive.
-
- A 500 ml three-neck flask was fitted with a paddle stirrer, condenser and dry tube, and lowered into an oil bath. To the flask was added THF (100 ml), acetone oxime (15g, 0.21 mole), pyridine (16.5 ml, 0.21 mole), and then octanoyl chloride (35 ml, 0.21 mole) in THF (50 ml), dropwise, with rapid stirring. A white solid (pyridine hydrochloride) precipitated from the solution. The reaction was allowed to stir in an oil bath at a temperature of 50° C for three hours. The reaction mixture was filtered and the solvent therein removed via roto-evaporator to give an orange oil (38.8g).
- Thin layer chromatography analysis (silica gel, HX-ETAC, 80-20) of the crude product showed one main spot (12 visualization) at Rf=.47, a small spot at Rf=.90 and a spot at the origin, probably pyridine hydrochloride. The crude product was placed on a column of silica gel (125g, 230-400 mesh, 4cm D x 25 cm H) and eluted with HX-ETAC (80-20). The fractions were monitored by TLC, the appropriate ones combined and solvent removed. In this way, 37.8g of a colourless oil was obtained.
- The infrared spectrum of the oil gave a very strong carbonyl at 1768 cm-1 and showed no sign of hydroxyl, acid chloride, or carboxylic acid. The 13C-NMR (CDCI3, ppm downfield from TMS) showed only absorptions expected for the product. Using the numbering system shown, these assignments are made:
-
- A 500 ml three-neck flask was fitted with double stirrer, condenser with drying tube, and lowered into an oil bath. To the flask was added THF (175 ml), the N-hydroxysuccinimide (9.5 g, 0.083 mole) and pyridine (6.7 ml, 0.083 mole). Octanoyl chloride (14.2 ml, 0.083 mole) was dissolved in THF (50 ml) and added to the reaction vessel over a period of 15 minutes. A white precipitate (pyridine hydrochloride) formed. The reaction mixture was heated at about 60° C for 3 hours, filtered, the solvent removed via roto-evaporator to give a light yellow oil (18.9g), which subsequently solidified.
- Thin-layer chromatography analysis (silica gel, CH2CI2) of the crude oil showed a main spot at Rf = .60 (UV visualization), a small spot at Rf = .95 and a spot at the origin (pyridine hydrochloride). The crude product was placed on a column of silica gel (150g, 230-400 mesh, 4 cm diameter x 30 cm tall) and eluted with methylene chloride. The fractions were monitored by TLC, the appropriate ones combined, and the solvent removed. Thus, a white solid (15.2 g, 760/o yield) of m.p. 60.5-61.0°C was obtained.
- The infrared spectrum of this solid gave a very strong broad carbonyl at 1735 cm-1 and sharp ones at 1790 and 1822 cm-1. The 13C-NMR (CDCI3) was very clean, showing only those absorptions necessary for the product. Thus it showed ester carbonyl carbon at 169.5 (ppm downfield from TMS), imide carbonyl at 170.0 and the methylene and methyl carbons at 14.0-31.6 ppm. Analysis of the solid by saponification number gave a purity of 1000/0.
- The acyl oxy ammonium chloride type compounds MAY be prepared by treatment of an amine oxide with an acid chloride. Both amine oxides and acid chlorides are readily available commercially so this should provide for a large variety of practical precursors. However, the product appears to be formed as a nice solid only when certain high molecular weight amine oxides are used. Unless care is taken in selecting the reaction conditions and the reagents, the reaction may at times form oils.
-
- To the flask was added THF (150 ml) and 4-phenylpyridine N-oxide (5g, 0.029 mole). A light yellow solution resulted. To this was added rapidly octanoyl chloride (5.0 ml, 0.029 mole) in THF (20 ml). The mixture was stirred very rapidly for 11/2 minutes. A gelatinous precipitate formed almost immediately. When the viscous solution was diluted with ether (about 300 ml), a white solid layer separated. The mix was filtered to give a white solid which was washed with ether. The dried white solid (7.0 g, 72% yield) had a carbonyl absorption at 1822 cm-1 in the infrared spectrum. The 13C-NMR was very clean and showed only those absorptions necessary for the product. A carbonyl at 174.5 (DMSO solvent, ppm downfield from TMS) was observed in addition to absorptions for the aromatic carbons and those for the alkyl chain.
-
- A comparison of item 5 with all the others, shows the importance of having the oxygen atom attached directly to nitrogen atom of the leaving group, in accordance with the teachings of the present invention.
