Description

The present invention relates to novel s-triazinylaminostilbene derivatives, processes and intermediates for their preparation and their use as optical whitening agents (OWAs) for whitening natural, synthetic and semi-synthetic polymers.
The area of use covered by s-triazinylaminostilbene OWAs is very broad, but of particular interest is the whitening of paper and textile substrates by the class of triazinylaminostilbene derivatives known as the "hexasulphonated" compounds resulting from the use of aniline-2,5-disulphonic acid as one of the substituents. The substantivity- (i.e. the natural affinity of the substance for the fibre) of this class of
OWA to cellulose for example, is generally a function of the number of solubilising groups (particularly sulphonic acids) present. in the molecule: thus, the disulphonic acid derivatives, such as 4,4'-bis(6"-phenylamino-4,1-morpholino- l",3 ,5"-triazin-2"-yl)aminostilbene-2,2'-disulphonic acid, are very substantive, the tetrasulphonic acid derivatives, such as 4,4'-bis[6"-(4'"-suIphophenylamino)- 4 " - morpholino-1 " ,3" ,5"-triazin-2"-yl]aminostilbene-2,2'-disulphonic acid, are moderately substantive, and the hexasulphonic acid derivatives, such as 4,4'-bis[6"-
(2'" ,5" '-disulphophenylamino)-4"-morpholino-l " ,3 " ,5 "-triazin-2"-yl]aminostilbene-
2,2'-disulphonic acid, are hardly substantive.
We have now found a new group of s-triazinylaminostilbenes which contain a solubilising group (such as sulphonic acid) attached to a methylamino substituent on the triazine ring. This contrasts to the tetra- and hexasulphonic acid derivatives referred to above in which the sulphonic acid substituents are attached to phenylamino groups. Surprisingly, these compounds are stable to acid hydrolysis and have different properties compared to the known tetrasulphonic acid derivatives. In particular we have found that these tetrasulphonic acid derivatives have the substantivity properties of the hexasulphonic acid derivatives of the prior art OWAs. These tetrasulphonic acids are thus especially useful for application to paper either alone, or in combination with other optical whitening agents, dyestuffs, pigments or other additives by size press or other surface application methods, and to textiles by padding, either alone or in combination with other typical textile finishing additives e.g. acid resins, crease- and water-proofmg agents, or specialist finishes, or during laundering processes as part of detergent or fabric conditioner compositions.
The novel s-triazinylaminostilbene derivatives according to the invention are compounds of formula (1)
in which:
Y is halogen (e.g. fluoro, chloro or bromo), alkoxy (e.g. C alkoxy) or -NR2R3 [ where R2 and R3 are the same or different and are H, alkyl (e.g. C alkyl), hydroxy¬ alkyl (e.g. CMhydroxyalkyl), or aryl (e.g. phenyl, optionally substituted), or together with the nitrogen atom form a substituted or unsubstituted cyclic amino group having 5-7 ring members, e.g. morpholino or piperidino],
R is H, aryl (e.g. phenyl), which is unsubstituted or substituted (e.g. by one or more electron releasing groups such as C alkyl and/or CMalkoxy),
R1 is H or alkyl (e.g. CMalkyI, optionally substituted),
Z is an electron-withdrawing group (e.g. CN, -SO^ ),
x is 2 or 3 and
M is H, a metal cation (e.g. alkali metal, such as Na, K or Li) or -N+R R5R6R7 (where R4-R7 are the same or different and are H, alkyl (e.g. CMalkyl), aralkyl (e.g. phenyl(Cj.6)-alkyl) or hydroxyalkyl (e.g. CM hydroxyalkyl)). Y is preferably bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino or morpholino. R is preferably phenyl or substituted phenyl, e.g. o, m- or p_-tolyl, anisyl, xylyl or cresyl. R1 is preferably H or -CH3 and Z is preferably -S03M (particularly where M is an alkali metal cation such as Na) or CN.
A compound of particular importance is the compound in which Y is bis(2- hydroxyethyl)amino, R is phenyl, R1 is H and Z is -S03Na.
The compounds of formula (1) can be prepared by reacting a compound of formula (2)
(where X is halogen (e.g. fluoro, chloro or bromo), Y is halogen (e.g. fluoro, chloro or bromo) or alkoxy (e.g. C^alkoxy) and N(R)CHRfZ is as defined above) with 4,4'- diaminostilbene-2,2'-disulphonic acid.
To ensure complete reaction, at least 2 moles of the compound (2) should be added per mole of the disulphonic acid. The reaction can be carried out at any convenient temperature (e.g. 20-60°C or to reflux) in a suitable solvent (e.g. water or aqueous acetone), preferably in the presence of an acid binding agent such as sodium bicarbonate or carbonate.
When a compound in which Y is -NR2R3 is required, a compound of formula (1) in which Y is halogen can be reacted with an amine HNR2R3, in generally the same manner as for the preparations of other compounds of formula (1).
The compounds of formula (2), which also form part of the invention, may be prepared by reacting a cyanuric halide of formula (3)
(where X and Y are as defined for formula (2) above) with an amine of formula (4), RNHCHR'Z. This reaction may be performed as described above for die preparation of the compounds (1), preferably at 0-25°C.
The amines (4) may be prepared by reacting an amine RNH2 with an alcohol HOCHR'Z, for example in a neutral aqueous or aqueous alcoholic medium at 20- 60°C.
Alternatively, die compounds of formula (4), (Z=CN) may be prepared from die compound of formula (4) (Z=S03Na) by treatment with a soluble cyanide (e.g. NaCN, KCN).
The main applications of me compounds of formula (1), particularly the preferred compounds, lie in the optical whitening of paper and textiles under conditions normally used for me "hexasulphonic acid derivatives" referred to above. However, diey may also be used to treat any other cellulosic or otfier natural, synmetic or semi- syndietic materials to which optical brightening is relevant.
The following Examples illustrate the invention.
EXAMPLE 1
Tetra-sodium 4.4'bis^6"-N-phenyl-N-sulphonatomethylamino-4''-bis('2",- hydroxyethyl)amino-l".3".5"-triazin-2"-yl]aminostilbene-2.2'-disulphonate To a solution of sodium N-phenyl-N-(2,4-dichloro-l,3,5-triazin-6-yl)aminomemane sulphonate (37.5g, 0.105g. mol.) in aqueous acetone (375ml) at 20°C containing sodium bicarbonate (8.8g, 0.105 g.mol.) is added a solution of sodium 4,4'- diaminostilbene-2,2'-disulphonate (20.7g, 0.05 g.mol.) in water (140ml) at 20°C. The mixture is then heated up to 50°C and maintained at mat temperature until me reaction is complete (ca. 1 hour). Diethanolamine (12. lg, 0.115 g.mol.) and sodium bicarbonate (8.8g, 0.105 g.mol.) are men added and me solution is heated to 100°C whilst distilling off the acetone and maintained at that temperature for 2 hours. The resulting solution may be used as is, or may be desalinated and concentrated by ultrafiltration to give the title compound as a concentrated solution.
The starting material is prepared as follows:
Sodium N-phenyl-N-(2.4-dichloro-1.3.5-triazin-6-yD aminomethane sulphonate
A solution of cyanuric chloride (19.4g, 0.105. mol.) in acetone (200ml) containing sodium bicarbonate (8.8g, 0.105g.mol.) is cooled to -10°C, and an ice-cold solution of sodium ω -anilinomethane sulphonate (23.0g, OJlOg.mol.) in water (175ml) is added as rapidly as possible and me mixture is allowed to warm up to room temperature. The reaction may be followed by means of HPLC using detection at 265nm to enable visualisation of all me starting products and final products, (including any by-products) to be observed. The resulting solution of me title compound may then be used for further condensations wim nucleophiles, e.g. 4,4'- diaminostilbene-2,2'-disulphonic acid and other amines as required.
The solution of sodium ω -anilinomethane sulphonate is prepared as follows. Aniline (10.2g, 0.110 g.mol) is added to a stirred solution of the sodium salt of the formaldehyde bisulphite addition complex (15.4g, 0.115 g.mol) in water (100ml) at 25-30°C. Formation of the sodium phenylaminomethane sulphonate is complete within 90 minutes (less at higher temperatures) and the solution may then be diluted and cooled and used as described above. EXAMPLE 2
Tetra-sodium 4.4 ' -b isfό " -N-phenyl-N-sulphonatomethylamino-4 " -morpholino- 1 " .3\5"-triazin-2w-yl1aminostilbene-2.2'-disulphonate
The above compound is prepared by me method of Example 1 except that the diethanolamine is replaced witii morpholine (lO.Og, 0.115g. mol.) to give the corresponding morpholine derivative. The product may be isolated by salting followed by filtration.
EXAMPLES 3-6
The aniline used in the preparation of the starting material in Examples 1 and 2 may be replaced by p-toluidine (11.8g, O.llOg.mol.) or p-anisidine (13.5g, O.llOg.mol.) to give the corresponding derivatives.
The following is a further example of a compound of formula (2).
EXAMPLE 7
N-Phenyl-N-(2.4-dichloro-l .3.5-triazin-6-yl') aminoacetonitrile
Cyanuric chloride (18.5g) is added all at once to a stirred, ice-cold slurry of phenylaminoacetonitrile (13.9g) in water (150ml) containing sodium bicarbonate (8.4g) and the mixture is allowed to warm up to room temperature. The resulting slurry of the title compound may then be used for further condensations wim nucleophiles, e.g. 4,4'-diaminostilbene-2,2'-disulphonic acid and other amines as required.
The slurry of phenylaminoacetonitrile is prepared as follows. Aniline (9.8g) is added to a stirred solution of glycolonitrile (55% aqueous solution, 11.5g) in water (100ml) at 20°C, warmed up to 60°C and maintained at mat temperature until the reaction is complete (ca. 1 hour). The resulting oily dispersion may then be cooled and diluted and used as described above.
The following Examples illustrate me use of the compounds of Examples 1 and 2.
