• organic peroxyacids can be used as bleacnmg agents m detergent compositions.
• Many different types of organic peroxyacids have oeen proposed such as peroxyoenzoic acid, peroxyphthalic acid, peroxyalkanoic acid and d ⁇ peroxyal ⁇ aned ⁇ o ⁇ c acids, described m US patents 4,110,095, 4,170,453, and 4,325,828.
• peroxy acids which have been disclosed include amidoperoxyacids which contain a polar amide linkage part way along a hydrocarbon cnain (US Patents 4,634,551 and 4,686,063) and phthalimido-substituted peroxyalkanoic acids (EP-A-325,288) .
• Suitable example optional substituents for R x and R 2 include one or more halide groups, C x -C 4 alkyl groups and Ci-C, alkoxy groups.
• R 3 and R 4 are each a methyl group.
• z is conveniently at least 1, and possibly 2 or 3. If w is 0 and R 2 is an optionally substituted aryl group, then y is suitably at least 1 and may be 2 , 3, 4 or 5.
• R x and R 2 are preferably selected from optionally substituted aryl groups and C 5 -C 10 alkyl or alkenyl groups. In some embodiments it may be preferred for an aryl group of R x and/or R 2 to be unsubstituted.
• X may be any suitable counter anion, particularly N0 3 " , HS0 4 ", S0 4 2 “, CH 3 S0 4 " , and R 5 - (O) q -S0 3 " , wherein R 5 is a C 2 -C 20 alkyl group, alkenyl group, or alkyl substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, and q is 0 or 1. It is particularly advantageous to employ a counter anion selected from sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) , sodium fatty acid alpha sulphonate (SFA ⁇ ) and tosylate, especially SDS and tosylate.

• the term "effective amount”, as used herein, means that the cationic diperoxyacid is present in a quantity such that it is operative for its intended purpose, i.e as a bleaching agent, when the detergent composition is combined with water to form an aqueous medium which may be used to wash and clean clothes, fabrics and other articles.
• the cationic diperoxyacids of the present invention when present as the bleach component, will be present in bleaching detergent compositions in amounts of from 0.5 to 15% by weight, more preferably from 2 to 10% by weight.

• the cationic diperoxyacids of the present invention were found to exhibit superior bleach performance, particularly under conditions of alkaline pH.
• the present cationic diperacids were found to be highly weight-effective (caused by the presence of two peracid groups per molecule) .
• the present cationic diperacids are expected to be biodegradable to a commercially useful level.
• Another advantage of the peroxy acids according to the present invention is that the route by which several of the materials are made is simple in that it is capable of utilising available starting materials.
• cationic diperoxyacids of the present invention may be prepared by reaction of an amine containing an acid or ester group (as appropriate) with a halide containing an acid or ester group (as appropriate) to form a quaternary ammonium diacid ester salt. This is subsequently peroxidised to form the desired cationic diperoxyacid.
• diperoxyacids of the present invention may find use in a wide range of industrial applications and processes, for example in the field of plastics as polymerisation initiators, or as oxidants for olefin epoxidation, or as bleaching agents in the paper industry.

• the cationic diperoxyacids of the present invention find particular application in detergent compositions since they show good bleach performance at medium to low washing temperatures, that is 60 to 20° C. This means that detergent compositions containing such peroxyacids may readily be used at the medium to low wash temperatures which are becoming increasingly common.
• the bleaching detergent compositions of the invention will contain at least one surface-active compound, which may be anionic, cationic, nonionic or amphoteric in character, present in an amount from about 3 to about 40%, pref-erably from 5 to 35% by weight.
• mixtures of the above surface-active compounds are used.
• mixtures of anionic and nonionic surface-active compounds are commonly used.
• Amounts of amphoteric or zwitterionic surface-active compounds may also be used but this is not generally desired owing to their relatively high cost. If used, they will be present in small amounts.
• the surface-active material may be naturally derived, such as soap, or a synthetic material selected from anionic, nonionic, amphoteric, zwitterionic, cationic actives and mixtures thereof.
• suitable actives are commercially available and are fully described in the literature, for example in "Surface Active Agents and Detergents", Volumes I and II, by Schwartz, Perry and Berch.
