Als Glycidsäurederivate II können beispielsweise Glycidsäure, gegebenen­falls in Form ihres Natrium-, Kalium- oder Ammoniumsalzes, Glycidsäure­amid, N-Methylglycidsäureamid, N,N-Dimethylglycidsäureamid, Glycidsäure­methylester oder Glycidsäureethylester verwendet werden. Die besten Ergebnisse erzielt man mit Glycidsäureamid.Glycidic acid derivatives II which can be used are, for example, glycidic acid, optionally in the form of its sodium, potassium or ammonium salt, glycidic acid amide, N-methylglycidic acid amide, N, N-dimethylglycidic acid amide, glycidic acid methyl ester or glycidic acid ethyl ester. The best results are achieved with glycidamide.

Von den genannten Aminen IIIa und IIIb werden Glycin, Asparaginsäure, Ethanolamin, Ethanolaminoessigsäure, Diethanolamin und Sarkosin bevorzugt.Of the amines IIIa and IIIb mentioned, glycine, aspartic acid, ethanolamine, ethanolaminoacetic acid, diethanolamine and sarcosine are preferred.

Es können auch Polyamine mit primären und sekundären Aminofunktionen wie Diethylentriamin und Triethylentetramin eingesetzt werden.Polyamines with primary and secondary amino functions such as diethylenetriamine and triethylenetetramine can also be used.

Die in den oben genannten Aminen zum Teil vorhandenen Carboxylgruppen können auch in Form der Alkalimetall- oder der gegebenenfalls substituier­ten Ammoniumsalze auftreten.The carboxyl groups present in part in the amines mentioned above can also occur in the form of the alkali metal or the optionally substituted ammonium salts.

Die Umsetzung des Glycidsäurederivates II mit Ammoniak oder einem Amin IIIa oder IIIb wird in der Regel in Wasser, einem organischen Lösungsmittel wie Methanol, Ethanol, n-Propanol, iso-Propanol, tert.­Butanol, Dioxan oder Tetrahydrofuran oder in Mischungen dieser Lösungs­mittel bei Temperaturen von 10 bis 100°C, vorzugsweise 40 bis 80oC, und einem pH-Wert von 4 bis 10, vorzugsweise 6 bis 9, vorgenommen.The reaction of the glycidic acid derivative II with ammonia or an amine IIIa or IIIb is generally carried out in water, an organic solvent such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, tert-butanol, dioxane or tetrahydrofuran or in mixtures of these solvents at temperatures from 10 to 100 ° C, preferably 40 to 80 o C, and a pH value of 4 to 10, preferably 6 to 9, carried out.

Das Molverhältnis von II zu Ammoniak bzw. Amin beträgt üblicherweise 2,8 : 1 bis 3,7 : 1, insbesondere 3,0. : 1 bis 3,3 : 1, bei Ammoniak, 1,8 : 1 bis 2,7 : 1, insbesondere 2,0 : 1 bis 2,3 : 1, bei primären Aminen IIIa und 0,8 : 1 bis 1,5 : 1, insbesondere 1,0 : 1 bis 1,2 : 1, bei sekundären Aminen IIIb; die angegebenen Verhältnisse beziehen sich jeweils auf eine Aminogruppe in der Verbindung IIIa oder IIIb.The molar ratio of II to ammonia or amine is usually 2.8: 1 to 3.7: 1, in particular 3.0. : 1 to 3.3: 1, for ammonia, 1.8: 1 to 2.7: 1, in particular 2.0: 1 to 2.3: 1, for primary amines IIIa and 0.8: 1 to 1, 5: 1, in particular 1.0: 1 to 1.2: 1, in the case of secondary amines IIIb; the ratios given each relate to an amino group in the compound IIIa or IIIb.

An die Umsetzung schließt sich eine Hydrolyse noch vorhandener Carbon­säureamid- und Carbonsäureestergruppen zu Carboxylgruppen an, welche in an sich bekannter Weise in wäßrigem Reaktionsmedium in Gegenwart von Basen wie Natron- oder Kalilauge oder von Säuren wie Schwefel- oder Salzsäure in der Regel bei Temperaturen von 20 bis 110°C, insbesondere 40 bis 100oC, durchgeführt wird.The reaction is followed by hydrolysis of carboxylic acid amide and carboxylic ester groups still present to give carboxyl groups which, in a manner known per se, in an aqueous reaction medium in the presence of bases such as sodium or potassium hydroxide solution or of acids such as sulfuric or hydrochloric acid, generally at temperatures of 20 up to 110 ° C, in particular 40 to 100 o C, is carried out.

Entsprechend den Reaktionsbedingungen erhält man die Verbindungen I bzw. Ia als freie Carbonsäuren oder in Form von Salzen, üblicherweise als Alkalimetallsalze. Aus den freien Säuren können dann durch Neutralisation mit den entsprechenden Basen, beispielsweise Aminbasen, die gewünschten Salze I bzw. Ia ohne Schwierigkeiten hergestellt werden.Depending on the reaction conditions, compounds I and Ia are obtained as free carboxylic acids or in the form of salts, usually as alkali metal salts. The desired salts I or Ia can then be prepared from the free acids without difficulty by neutralization with the appropriate bases, for example amine bases.

Die Verbindungen I bzw. Ia lassen sich aus ihren Lösungen problemlos in reiner Form isolieren. Hierfür bieten sich insbesondere Sprüh- oder Gefriertrocknung, Kristallisation und Fällung an. Häufig lassen sich die Lösungen auch unmittelbar für die erfindungsgemäßen Zwecke verwenden.The compounds I and Ia can be isolated from their solutions in pure form without any problems. Spray or freeze drying, crystallization and precipitation are particularly suitable for this. The solutions can often also be used directly for the purposes of the invention.

Die Verbindungen I sind in hervorragender Weise dazu geeignet, Schwer­metall- oder Erdalkalimetallionen wie beispielsweise Eisen, Kupfer, Mangan, Zink, Calcium oder Magnesium oder Gemische solcher Ionen zu komplexieren. Aufgrund dieser Fähigkeit weisen sie eine Vielzahl von technischen Anwendungsmöglichkeiten auf. Da es sich bei den Verbindungen I um biologisch abbaubare Substanzen handelt, können sie überall dort vor­teilhaft eingesetzt werden, wo bei der Anwendung Abwasser in größeren Mengen anfällt und erst behandelt werden muß, bevor es in die Oberflächen­gewässer gelangt.The compounds I are outstandingly suitable for complexing heavy metal or alkaline earth metal ions such as iron, copper, manganese, zinc, calcium or magnesium or mixtures of such ions. Because of this ability, they have a variety of technical applications. Since the compounds I are biodegradable substances, they can be used advantageously wherever wastewater is produced in large quantities during use and must first be treated before it reaches the surface waters.

Als Einsatzgebiete und Verwendungszwecke kommen beispielsweise Wasch- und Reinigungsmittel für den Haushalt, industrielle Reinigungsmittel, die Gal­vanotechnik, die Wasserbehandlung und die Polymerisationen, die photo­graphische Industrie, die Textilindustrie und die Papierindustrie sowie verschiedene Anwendungen in Pharmazeutika, in der Kosmetik, bei Nahrungs­mitteln und bei der Pflanzenernährung in Betracht.Areas of use and uses include, for example, detergents and cleaning agents for the household, industrial cleaning agents, electroplating technology, water treatment and polymerizations, the photographic industry, the textile industry and the paper industry, and various applications in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, foodstuffs and in Plant nutrition into consideration.

Ihre vorteilhafte Wirkung liegt auch in einer Bleichmittelstabilisierung, beispielsweise für Natriumperborate wie NaBO₂·H₂O₂·3 H₂O, Peroxycarbonate, Peroxyphosphonate, Citratperhydrate, Harnstoff- und Melamin-H₂O₂-Addukte, Caroate, Perbenzoate, Alkandipercarbonsäuren, Peroxyphthalate und Alkali­metallhypochlorite in Wasch- und Reinigungsmitteln und bei der Wasser­stoffperoxidbleiche von Textilien, Zellstoff oder Papierrohstoff. Spuren von Schwermetallen wie Eisen, Kupfer und Mangan kommen im Waschpulver selbst, im Wasser und im Textilgut vor und katalysieren die Zersetzung der Perverbindung oder des daraus entstandenen Wasserstoffperoxids. Die Komplexbildner I binden diese Metallionen und verhindern die unerwünschte Zersetzung des Bleichsystems während der Lagerung und in der Waschflotte. Dadurch erhöht sich die Effizienz des Bleichsystems und Faserschädigungen werden zurückgedrängt.Their advantageous effect also lies in a bleach stabilization, for example for sodium perborates such as NaBO₂ · H₂O₂ · 3 H₂O, peroxycarbonates, peroxyphosphonates, citrate perhydrates, urea and melamine-H₂O₂ adducts, caroates, perbenzoates, alkane dipercarboxylic acids, peroxyphthalates and detergents and alkali metal acetates and detergents in the hydrogen peroxide bleaching of textiles, cellulose or paper raw materials. Traces of heavy metals such as iron, copper and manganese occur in the washing powder itself, in the water and in the textile goods and catalyze the decomposition of the per compound or the hydrogen peroxide resulting from it. The complexing agents I bind these metal ions and prevent the undesired decomposition of the bleaching system during storage and in the wash liquor. This increases the efficiency of the bleaching system and fiber damage is suppressed.

In flüssigen Waschmittelformulierungen können die Verbindunge I als soge­nannte Konservierungsmittel, zweckmäßigerweise in einer Menge von 0,05 bis 1 Gew.-% bezogen auf das Gesamtgewicht der Waschmittelformulierung, ein­gesetzt werden.In liquid detergent formulations, the compounds I can be used as so-called preservatives, advantageously in an amount of 0.05 to 1% by weight, based on the total weight of the detergent formulation.

In Seifen verhindern die Verbindungen I beispielsweise metallkatalysierte oxidative Zersetzungen.In soaps, the compounds I prevent, for example, metal-catalyzed oxidative decomposition.

Weiterhin dienen sie in hervorragender Weise in Wasch- und Reinigungs­mitteln als Gerüststoff (Builder), um Ausfällungen und Inkrustationen auf dem Gewebe zu verhindern.Furthermore, they serve as an excellent builder in detergents and cleaning agents to prevent precipitation and incrustation on the fabric.

Sie können in vorteilhafter Weise überall dort eingesetzt werden, wo bei technischen Verfahren Ausfällungen von Calcium-, Magnesium- und Schwer­metallsalzen stören und verhindert werden sollen, beispielsweise zur Verhinderung von Ablagerungen und Verkrustungen in Kesseln, Rohrleitungen, an Sprühdüsen oder allgemein an glatten Oberflächen.They can be used in an advantageous manner wherever precipitation of calcium, magnesium and heavy metal salts is to be disrupted and prevented in technical processes, for example to prevent deposits and incrustations in boilers, pipelines, on spray nozzles or generally on smooth surfaces.

Sie können zur Stabilisierung von Phosphaten in alkalischen Entfettungs­bädern und Verhinderung der Ausfällung von Kalkseifen dienen und ver­hindern dadurch das "Anlaufen" von Nichteisenoberflächen und verlängern die Standzeiten von alkalischen Reinigerbädern.They can be used to stabilize phosphates in alkaline degreasing baths and prevent the precipitation of lime soaps and thereby prevent the "tarnishing" of non-ferrous surfaces and extend the service life of alkaline cleaning baths.

Sie können als Komplexbildner in alkalischen Entrostungs- und Entzunde­rungsbädern verwendet werden sowie in galvanischen Bädern anstelle von Cyaniden.They can be used as complexing agents in alkaline rust removal and descaling baths as well as in galvanic baths instead of cyanides.

Die Kühlwasserbehandlung mit den Verbindungen I verhindert Ablagerungen bzw. löst bereits vorhandene wieder auf. Ein besonderer Vorteil ist die Anwendungsmöglichkeit in alkalischem Medium und damit die Beseitigung von Korrosionsproblemen.The cooling water treatment with the compounds I prevents deposits or dissolves existing ones. A particular advantage is the possibility of application in an alkaline medium and thus the elimination of corrosion problems.

Bei der Polymerisation von Kautschuk können sie zur Herstellung der dabei verwendeten Redoxkatalysatoren verwendet werden. Sie verhindern zusätzlich das Ausfallen von Eisenhydroxid im alkalischen Polymerisationsmilieu.When polymerizing rubber, they can be used to produce the redox catalysts used. They also prevent the precipitation of iron hydroxide in the alkaline polymerization environment.

In der photographischen Industrie können die Komplexbildner I in Ent­wickler- oder Fixierbädern, die mit hartem Wasser angesetzt werden, ver­wendet werden, um die Ausfällung schwerlöslicher Calcium- und Magnesium-­Salze zu verhindern. Die Ausfällungen führen zur Grauschleiern auf Filmen und Bildern sowie Ablagerungen in den Tanks, die somit vorteilhaft vermieden werden können. Sie können als Eisen-III-Chelatlösungen vorteilhaft in Bleich- und Bleichfixierbädern eingesetzt werden und so die aus ökologischen Gründen bedenklichen Hexacyanoferratlösungen ersetzen.In the photographic industry, the complexing agents I can be used in developer or fixing baths which are prepared with hard water in order to prevent the precipitation of poorly soluble calcium and magnesium salts. The precipitations lead to gray haze on films and images, as well as deposits in the tanks, which can thus advantageously be avoided. They can be used as iron III chelate solutions can be used advantageously in bleaching and bleach-fixing baths and thus replace the hexacyanoferrate solutions, which are questionable for ecological reasons.

In der Textilindustrie können sie zur Entfernung von Schwermetallspuren während des Herstellungs- bzw. Färbeprozesses von natürlichen und synthe­tischen Fasern dienen. Dadurch werden viele Störungen verhindert, bei­spielsweise Schmutzflecken und Streifen auf dem Textilgut, Verlust des Glanzes, schlechte Benetzbarkeit, unegale Färbungen und Farbfehler.In the textile industry, they can be used to remove traces of heavy metals during the manufacturing or dyeing process of natural and synthetic fibers. This prevents many faults, for example dirt stains and stripes on the textile, loss of gloss, poor wettability, uneven dyeing and color errors.

In der Papierindustrie können sie zur Eliminierung von Schwermetallionen, insbesondere Eisenionen, verwendet werden. Die Ablagerung von Eisen auf Papier führt zu "heißen Flecken", an denen die oxidative katalytische Zerstörung der Zellulose beginnt. Ferner katalysieren Schwermetallionen die Zersetzung von H₂O₂, welches für die Papierbleichung eingesetzt wird.They can be used in the paper industry to eliminate heavy metal ions, especially iron ions. The deposition of iron on paper leads to "hot spots" where the oxidative catalytic destruction of cellulose begins. Heavy metal ions also catalyze the decomposition of H₂O₂, which is used for paper bleaching.

Weiterhin kommen beispielsweise Anwendungen in Pharmazeutika, Kosmetika und Nahrungsmitteln in Betracht, um die metallkatalysierte Oxidation von olefinischen Doppelbindungen und damit das Ranzigwerden der Erzeugnisse zu verhindern.Applications in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and foodstuffs are also considered, for example, in order to prevent the metal-catalyzed oxidation of olefinic double bonds and thus the rancidity of the products.

In der Pflanzenernährung können zur Behebung von Schwermetalldefiziten Kupfer-, Eisen-, Mangan- und Zink-Komplexe mit I verwendet werden. Diese Schwermetalle werden als Chelate zugegeben, um die Ausfällung als biologisch inaktive unlösliche Salze zu verhindern.In plant nutrition, copper, iron, manganese and zinc complexes with I can be used to remedy heavy metal deficits. These heavy metals are added as chelates to prevent precipitation as biologically inactive insoluble salts.

Weitere Anwendungsgebiete für die Verbindungen I sind die Rauchgaswäsche, und zwar die gleichzeitige Entfernung von NOx und SO₂ aus Rauchgasen, die Entschwefelung nach Wellman-Lord, die H₂S-Oxidation, die Metallextraktion sowie Anwendungen als Katalysatoren für organische Synthesen, z.B. Luft­oxidation von Paraffinen und Hydroformylierung von Olefinen zu Alkoholen.Further areas of application for the compounds I are flue gas scrubbing, namely the simultaneous removal of NO x and SO₂ from flue gases, desulfurization according to Wellman-Lord, H₂S oxidation, metal extraction and applications as catalysts for organic syntheses, for example air oxidation of paraffins and Hydroformylation of olefins to alcohols.

Die Verbindungen I mit ihren hervorragenden komplexbildenden Eigenschaften können unter den genannten Anwendungsgebieten in ganz besonderem Maße als Bleichmittelstabilisatoren und als Gerüststoffe in Wasch- und Reinigungsmitteln empfohlen werden.The compounds I, with their excellent complex-forming properties, can be recommended to a very special extent as bleach stabilizers and as builders in detergents and cleaning agents in the fields of application mentioned.

Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung sind auch Mittel zur Komplexierung von Schwermetall- oder Erdalkalimetallionen oder Gemischen hiervon, die je nach Anwendungszweck die Verbindungen Ia in einer Menge von 0,01 bis 99 Gew.-%, bezogen auf die Gesamtmenge der Zubereitungen, enthalten.The present invention also relates to compositions for complexing heavy metal or alkaline earth metal ions or mixtures thereof which, depending on the intended use, contain the compounds Ia in an amount of 0.01 to 99% by weight, based on the total amount of the preparations.

Weiterhin sind Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung Wasch- und Reini­gungsmittel, die 0,01 bis 20 Gew.-%, vorzugsweise 0,05 bis 10 Gew.-% be­ zogen auf die Gesamtmenge der Zübereitung, einer oder mehrerer der Ver­bindungen I enthalten. Bei einer Verwendung bevorzugt als Gerüststoff sind Mengen von 1 bis 10 Gew.-%, bei einer Verwendung bevorzugt als Bleich­mittelstabilisator, beispielsweise für Perborate, sind Mengen von 0,05 bis 1 Gew.-% besonders bevorzugt. Bei einer Verwendung insbesondere als Komplexbildner in Waschmitteln sind Mengen von 0,1 bis 2 Gew.-% bevorzugt.The present invention furthermore relates to detergents and cleaning agents which are 0.01 to 20% by weight, preferably 0.05 to 10% by weight referred to the total amount of preparation, one or more of the compounds I included. When used preferably as a builder, amounts from 1 to 10% by weight are preferred, when used as a bleach stabilizer, for example for perborates, amounts from 0.05 to 1% by weight are particularly preferred. When used in particular as a complexing agent in detergents, amounts of 0.1 to 2% by weight are preferred.

Die Verbindungen I können in ihrer Eigenschaft als Komplexbildner, Gerüst­stoff und Bleichmittelstabilisator in Wasch- und Reinigungsmittelformulie­rungen auch zusammen mit anderen Mitteln des Standes der Technik verwendet werden, wobei die allgemeinen Eigenschaften im Hinblick auf Sequestrie­rung, Inkrustationsinhibierung, Vergrauungsinhibierung, Primärwaschwirkung und Bleichwirkung unter Umständen deutlich verbessert werden können.The compounds I, in their capacity as complexing agents, builders and bleach stabilizers in detergent and cleaning agent formulations, can also be used together with other agents of the prior art, the general properties with respect to sequestration, incrustation inhibition, graying inhibition, primary washing action and bleaching action, under certain circumstances, significantly improved can be.

Wasch- und Reinigungsmittelformulierungen mit den Verbindungen I enthalten in der Regel als zusätzliche Bestandteile, bezogen auf das Gesamtgewicht, 6 bis 25 Gew.-% Tenside, 15 bis 50 Gew.-% Builder und gegebenenfalls Co-­Builder und 5 bis 30 Gew.-% Hilfsstoffe wie Enzyme, Schaumregulatoren, Korrosionsinhibitoren, optische Aufheller, Duftstoffe, Farbstoffe oder Formulierhilfsmittel wie z.B. Natriumsulfat in den hierfür üblichen Mengen.Detergent and cleaning agent formulations with the compounds I generally contain, as additional constituents, based on the total weight, 6 to 25% by weight of surfactants, 15 to 50% by weight of builders and optionally co-builders and 5 to 30% by weight. % Auxiliaries such as enzymes, foam regulators, corrosion inhibitors, optical brighteners, fragrances, dyes or formulation aids such as Sodium sulfate in the usual amounts for this.

Die 2-Hydroxy-3-aminopropionsäure-Derivate I sind hervorragende Komplex­bildner. In ihrer Eigenschaft als Gerüststoff in Nasch- und Reinigungs­mitteln zur Verbesserung der Weißwaschwirkung und zur Verhinderung von Ablagerungen auf dem Gewebe sind die Verbindungen I mit beispielsweise Ethylendiamintetraessigsäure oder 2-Hydroxy-3-aminopropionsäure-N,N-di­essigsäure vergleichbar. Eine deutlich überlegene Wirkung im Vergleich zu den genannten Mitteln des Standes der Technik zeigt sich jedoch bei der Bleichmittelstabilisierung.The 2-hydroxy-3-aminopropionic acid derivatives I are excellent complexing agents. In their capacity as builders in sweeteners and cleaning agents to improve the whitening effect and to prevent deposits on the fabric, the compounds I are comparable to, for example, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid or 2-hydroxy-3-aminopropionic acid-N, N-diacetic acid. However, bleach stabilization shows a clearly superior effect compared to the prior art agents mentioned.

Anwendungstechnische EigenschaftenApplication properties Bestimmung der Nariumperboratstabilisierung in WaschflottenDetermination of sodium perborate stabilization in wash liquors

Das für die Bleichwirkung in natriumperborathaltigen Waschmittelformu­lierungen verantwortliche Wasserstoffperoxid wird durch Schwermetallionen (Fe, Cu, Mn) vornehmlich in der Waschflotte, aber auch schon bei trockener Lagerung katalytisch zersetzt. Durch Komplexierung der Schwermetallionen läßt sich dieser Zersetzungsprozeß verhindern oder zumindest verzögern. Die peroxidstabilisierende Wirkung der Komplexbildner wird über den Rest­peroxidgehalt nach Belassen einer schwermetallhaltigen Waschflotte bei höherer Temperatur für eine bestimmte Zeitdauer geprüft.The hydrogen peroxide responsible for the bleaching effect in detergent formulations containing sodium peroxide is catalytically decomposed by heavy metal ions (Fe, Cu, Mn) primarily in the wash liquor, but also when stored dry. This decomposition process can be prevented or at least delayed by complexing the heavy metal ions. The peroxide-stabilizing effect of the complexing agents is checked for a certain period of time via the residual peroxide content after leaving a wash liquor containing heavy metals at a higher temperature.

Der Gehalt an Wasserstoffperoxid wurde unmittelbar nach Zubereitung und nach Belassen der Waschflotte bei 60°C oder 80°C für 2 oder 1 Stunde durch Titration mit Kaliumpermanganat in saurer Lösung bestimmt. Als Ergebnis wurde in der unten angeführten Tabelle jeweils der Prozentsatz an nach diesem Zeitraum noch vorhandenem H₂O₂ angegeben.The hydrogen peroxide content was determined immediately after preparation and after leaving the wash liquor at 60 ° C. or 80 ° C. for 2 or 1 hour by titration with potassium permanganate in acid solution. As a result, the percentage of H₂O₂ still present after this period was given in the table below.
