Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for producing particles of amine reaction product.
  • perfumed products are well-known in the art. However, consumer acceptance of such perfumed products like laundry and cleaning products is determined not only by the performance achieved with these products but also by the aesthetics associated therewith. The perfume components are therefore an important aspect of the successful formulation of such commercial products.
  • perfume additives make such compositions more aesthetically pleasing to the consumer, and in some cases the perfume imparts a pleasant fragrance to fabrics treated therewith.
  • the amount of perfume carried-over from an aqueous laundry bath onto fabrics is often marginal and does not last long on the fabric.
  • fragrance materials are often very costly and their inefficient use in laundry and cleaning compositions and ineffective delivery to fabrics results in a very high cost to both consumers and laundry and cleaning manufacturers. Industry, therefore, continues to seek with urgency for more efficient and effective fragrance delivery in laundry and cleaning products, especially for improvement in the provision of long-lasting fragrance to the fabrics.
  • the mixing of the amine reaction product with a carrier having specific melting point to form a particle fulfills such a need.
  • the obtained particle is thereafter treated to form a coated particle.
  • both viscous and non-viscous amine reaction product when processed by the present invention exhibit better deposition and long lasting release than amine reaction product which have not been processed according to this process.
  • the mixing with such carrier act as a shell around the amine reaction product, thus protecting it from the aggressive wash liquor as well as enhancing its fabric deposition properties.
  • viscous it is meant a product which has a viscosity higher than 1000 cps.
  • the viscosity is measured on a rheometer, TA Instrument CSL 2 100 at a temperature of 25C with a gap setting of 500 microns.
  • the carrier for use herein has a melting point, measured at atmospheric pressure, of from 30°C to 135°C.
  • the present invention is a process for making particles of amine reaction product of a compound containing a primary and/or secondary amine functional group and an active ketone or aldehyde containing component, and which comprises the steps of :

  • Odour Intensity Index it meant that the pure chemicals were diluted at 1% in Dipropylene Glycol, odor-free solvent used in perfumery. This percentage is more representative of usage levels.
  • Smelling strips, or so called “blotters” were dipped and presented to the expert panellist for evaluation. Expert panellists are assessors trained for at least six months in odor grading and whose gradings are checked for accuracy and reproducibility versus a reference on an on-going basis. For each amine compound, the panellist was presented two blotters: one reference (Me Anthranilate, unknown from the panellist) and the sample. The panellist was asked to rank both smelling strips on the 0-5 odor intensity scale, 0 being no odor detected, 5 being very strong odor present.

Description

    Field of the invention
  • The present invention relates to a process for producing particles of amine reaction product.
  • Background of the invention
  • Perfumed products are well-known in the art. However, consumer acceptance of such perfumed products like laundry and cleaning products is determined not only by the performance achieved with these products but also by the aesthetics associated therewith. The perfume components are therefore an important aspect of the successful formulation of such commercial products.
  • It is also desired by consumers for treated fabrics to maintain the pleasing fragrance over time. Indeed, perfume additives make such compositions more aesthetically pleasing to the consumer, and in some cases the perfume imparts a pleasant fragrance to fabrics treated therewith. However, the amount of perfume carried-over from an aqueous laundry bath onto fabrics is often marginal and does not last long on the fabric. Furthermore, fragrance materials are often very costly and their inefficient use in laundry and cleaning compositions and ineffective delivery to fabrics results in a very high cost to both consumers and laundry and cleaning manufacturers. Industry, therefore, continues to seek with urgency for more efficient and effective fragrance delivery in laundry and cleaning products, especially for improvement in the provision of long-lasting fragrance to the fabrics.
  • It has recently been found that an amine reaction product of a compound containing a primary amine functional group and an active ketone or aldehyde containing component fulfills such a need. Disclosure of such compounds can be found in recently filed applications EP-A-971,025; EP-A-971,024; EP-A-971,027 and EP-A-971,026.
  • However, a problem now encountered with the use of these compound is their ease of incorporation into fully formulated compositions. Indeed, such amine reaction products are often viscous which renders their incorporation into these fully formulated compositions more cumbersome.
  • It is therefore an object of the invention to provide amine reaction product in a form suitable for easy incorporation into fully formulated composition.
  • It has now been found that the mixing of the amine reaction product with a carrier having specific melting point to form a particle fulfills such a need. Preferably, the obtained particle is thereafter treated to form a coated particle.
  • Further, it has also been advantageously found that both viscous and non-viscous amine reaction product when processed by the present invention exhibit better deposition and long lasting release than amine reaction product which have not been processed according to this process. Not to be bound by theory, it is believed that the mixing with such carrier act as a shell around the amine reaction product, thus protecting it from the aggressive wash liquor as well as enhancing its fabric deposition properties.
  • By "viscous", it is meant a product which has a viscosity higher than 1000 cps. The viscosity is measured on a rheometer, TA Instrument CSL2 100 at a temperature of 25C with a gap setting of 500 microns.
  • The carrier for use herein has a melting point, measured at atmospheric pressure, of from 30°C to 135°C.
  • Summary of the invention
  • The present invention is a process for making particles of amine reaction product of a compound containing a primary and/or secondary amine functional group and an active ketone or aldehyde containing component, and which comprises the steps of :
  • a)-providing the amine reaction product comprising from 10% to 90% by weight of said active ketone or aldehyde containing component and having a viscosity greater than 1000 cps, and
  • b)-mixing therewith at a temperature just above the carrier melting point, a carrier having a melting point of from 30°C to 135°C to produce particles of processed amine reaction product containing from 1% to 75% by weight of said amine reaction product.
  • In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the obtained particle is further processed to form a coated particle.
  • Detailed description of the invention Starting materials 1)-Amine reaction product
  • The amine reaction product for use herein is a product of reaction between a compound containing a primary and/or secondary amine functional group and an active ketone or aldehyde containing component, so called hereinafter "amine reaction product".
  • A typical disclosure of amine reaction product suitable for use herein can be found in recently filed applications EP-A-971,025; EP-A-971,024; EP-A-971,027 and EP-A-971,026.
  • A-Primary and/or secondary amine
  • By "primary and/or secondary amine", it is meant a component which carries at least one primary and/or secondary amine and/or amide function.
  • Preferably, the primary and/or secondary amine compound is also characterized by an Odour Intensity Index of less than that of a 1% solution of methylanthranilate in dipropylene glycol.
  • Odour Intensity Index method
  • By Odour Intensity Index, it meant that the pure chemicals were diluted at 1% in Dipropylene Glycol, odor-free solvent used in perfumery. This percentage is more representative of usage levels. Smelling strips, or so called "blotters", were dipped and presented to the expert panellist for evaluation. Expert panellists are assessors trained for at least six months in odor grading and whose gradings are checked for accuracy and reproducibility versus a reference on an on-going basis. For each amine compound, the panellist was presented two blotters: one reference (Me Anthranilate, unknown from the panellist) and the sample. The panellist was asked to rank both smelling strips on the 0-5 odor intensity scale, 0 being no odor detected, 5 being very strong odor present.
  • Results:
  • The following represents Odour Intensity Index of an amine compound suitable for use in the present invention and according to the above procedure. In each case, numbers are arithmetic averages among 5 expert panellists and the results are statistically significantly different at 95% confidence level:
    Methylanthranilate 1% (reference) 3.4
    Ethyl-4-aminobenzoate (EAB) 1% 0.9
  • A general structure for the primary amine compound used in this invention is as follows: B-(NH2)n; wherein B is a carrier material, and n is an index of value of at least 1.
  • Compounds containing a secondary amine group have a structure similar to the above excepted that the compound comprises one or more -NH- groups instead of -NH2. Further, the compound structure may also have one or more of both-NH2 and -NH- groups.
  • Preferred B carriers are inorganic or organic carriers.
  • By "inorganic carrier", it is meant carrier which are non-or substantially non carbon based backbones.
  • Preferred primary and/or secondary amines, among the inorganic carriers, are those selected from mono or polymers or organic-organosilicon copolymers of amino derivatised organo silane, siloxane, silazane, alumane, aluminum siloxane, or aluminum silicate compounds.

Examples of such chemical modifications are benzyloxycarbonyl, aminobutyric acid, butyl ester, pyroglutamic acid. More examples of common modifications of amino acids and small amino acid fragments can be found in the Bachem, 1996, Peptides and Biochemicals Catalog.
  • Preferred polyamino acids are polylysines, polyarginine, polyglutamine, polyasparagine, polyhistidine, polytryptophane or mixtures thereof. Most preferred are polylysines or polyamino acids where more than 50% of the amino acids are lysine, since the primary amine function in the side chain of the lysine is the most reactive amine of all amino acids.
  • The preferred polyamino acid has a molecular weight of 500 to 10.000.000, more preferably between 5.000 and 750.000.
  • The polyamino acid can be cross linked. The cross linking can be obtained for example by condensation of the amine group in the side chain of the amino acid like lysine with the carboxyl function on the amino acid or with protein cross linkers like PEG derivatives. The cross linked polyamino acids still need to have free primary and/or secondary amino groups left for reaction with the active ingredient.
  • The preferred cross linked polyamino acid has a molecular weight of 20.000 to 10.000.000, more preferably between 200.000 and 2.000.000.

  • In the above list of perfume ingredients, some are commercial names conventionally known to one skilled in the art, and also includes isomers. Such isomers are also suitable for use in the present invention.
  • In another embodiment, especially suitable for the purpose of the present invention are the perfume compounds, preferably the perfume ketones or aldehydes, characterised by having a low Odor Detection Threshold. Such Odor Detection Threshold (ODT) should be lower than 1 ppm, preferably lower than 10ppb - measured at controlled Gas Chromatography (GC) conditions such as described here below. This parameter refers to the value commonly used in the perfumery arts and which is the lowest concentration at which significant detection takes place that some odorous material is present. Please refer for example in "Compilation of Odor and Taste Threshold Value Data (ASTM DS 48 A)", edited by F. A. Fazzalari, International Business Machines, Hopwell Junction, NY and in Calkin et al., Perfumery, Practice and Principles, John Willey & Sons, Inc., page 243 et seq (1994). For the purpose of the present invention, the Odor Detection Threshold is measured according to the following method:
    The gas chromatograph is characterized to determine the exact volume of material injected by the syringe, the precise split ratio, and the hydrocarbon response using a hydrocarbon standard of known concentration and chain-length distribution. The air flow rate is accurately measured and, assuming the duration of a human inhalation to last 0.02 minutes, the sampled volume is calculated. Since the precise concentration at the detector at any point in time is known, the mass per volume inhaled is known and hence the concentration of material. To determine the ODT of a perfume material, solutions are delivered to the sniff port at the back-calculated concentration. A panelist sniffs the GC effluent and identifies the retention time when odor is noticed. The average over all panelists determines the threshold of noticeability. The necessary amount of analyte is injected onto the column to achieve a certain concentration, such as 10 ppb, at the detector. Typical gas chromatograph parameters for determining odor detection thresholds are listed below.

  • Although less preferred for use herein because of their lower solubility, partially water soluble coating agents may also be used as coating agent. These compounds are indeed less preferred because during the wash cycle the amine reaction product will still be at least partially coated and therefore can not display its full functionality of long lasting freshness on dry fabrics or hard surfaces. Examples of partially water soluble coating agents include the crystalline layered silicates. Examples of largely water insoluble builders include the sodium aluminosilicates.
  • Crystalline layered sodium silicates have the general formula NaMSixOx+1.yH2O wherein M is sodium or hydrogen, x is a number from 1.9 to 4 and y is a number from 0 to 20. Crystalline layered sodium silicates of this type are disclosed in EP-A-0164514 and methods for their preparation are disclosed in DE-A-3417649 and DE-A-3742043.

  • Typically the coating agent will be present in an amount of from 10% to 95%, preferably from 30 to 90%, more preferably, 50 to 75% by weight of the particle of the processed amine reaction product. In this instance, the amount of carrier will be sufficient to add up to 100%. Of course, the coated particle may also contain minors but in quantities which will not exceed either of the amount of carrier material or coating agent.
  • Preferred coating materials are selected from carbonate, starch, cyclodextrin, and mixtures thereof.
  • The surface treatment of the particle can be carried out in a number of ways using equipment known in the art and the process may take in batch wise or continuous fashion.
  • One method for applying the coating material involves agglomeration. Any conventional agglomerator/mixer may be used including, but not limited to pan, rotary drum and vertical blender types. Molten coating compositions may also be applied either by being poured onto, or spray atomized onto a moving bed of the mixture of amine reaction product with carrier.
  • Another method for applying the coating is to pour the obtained mixture (so-called particle), as herein before described, onto the coating material and agglomerate it in a Braun Mixer. Care is also taken that the temperature during the mixing and/or coating step does not substantially exceed the melting point of the carrier material. For example, 150g of a mixture containing TAE80 and 20% of the amine reaction product is poured at 60°C into a Braun Mixer containing 300g of carbonate. The mixing of the ingredients is carried out for about 5 minutes. Care is also taken that the temperature during the coating does not exceed 65°C. The agglomerated particle can then be used as is for incorporation into the finished composition.
  • Accordingly, there is provided a processed amine reaction product as obtainable by the process of the invention.
  • If desired, the coated particle may also contain one or more additional ingredients like a surfactant for improved solubility or dispersability. Typical of such surfactant are the anionic, nonionic, or cationic surfactants. a cationic, anion or non-ionic surfactant like.

  • Finished compositions incorporating the processed amine reaction product will normally contain from 0.1 to 25%, more preferably from 0.2 to 10%, and most preferably from 0.5 to 5% of the processed product on a composition weight basis.
  • The preferred detergent composition, embodiment of the invention, will, preferably contain a bleach precursor, a source of alkaline hydrogen peroxide necessary to form a peroxyacid bleaching species in the wash solution and preferably will also contain other components conventional in detergent compositions. Thus, preferred detergent compositions will incorporate one or more of surfactants, organic and inorganic builders, soil suspending and antiredeposition agents, suds suppressors, enzymes, fluorescent whitening agents, photoactivated bleaches, perfumes, colours, clay softening agent, effervescent, and mixtures thereof.
  • Typical disclosure of such components can be found in EP-A-0,659,876 and EP-A-971,024
  • Clay
  • The compositions of the invention may preferably contain a clay, preferably present at a level of from 0.05% to 40%, more preferably from 0.5% to 30%, most preferably from 2% to 20% by weight of the composition. For clarity, it is noted that the term clay mineral compound, as used herein, excludes sodium aluminosilicate Zeolite builder compounds, which however, may be included in the compositions of the invention as optional components.
  • One preferred clay may be a bentonite clay. Highly preferred are smectite clays, as for example disclosed in the US Patents No.s 3,862,058 3,948,790, 3,954,632 and 4,062,647 and European Patents No.s EP-A-299,575 and EP-A-313,146 all in the name of the Procter and Gamble Company.
  • The term smectite clays herein includes both the clays in which aluminium oxide is present in a silicate lattice and the clays in which magnesium oxide is present in a silicate lattice. Smectite clays tend to adopt an expandable three layer structure.
  • Specific examples of suitable smectite clays include those selected from the classes of the montmorillonites, hectorites, volchonskoites, nontronites, saponites and sauconites, particularly those having an alkali or alkaline earth metal ion within the crystal lattice structure. Sodium or calcium montmorillonite are particularly preferred.
  • Suitable smectite clays, particularly montmorillonites, are sold by various suppliers including English China Clays, Laviosa, Georgia Kaolin and Colin Stewart Minerals.
  • Clays for use herein preferably have a particle dimension of from 10nm to 800nm more preferably from 20nm to 500 mm, most preferably from 50nm to 200 mm.
  • Particles of the clay mineral compound may be included as components of agglomerate particles containing other detergent compounds. Where present as such components, the term "largest particle dimension" of the clay mineral compound refers to the largest dimension of the clay mineral component as such, and not to the agglomerated particle as a whole.
  • Substitution of small cations, such as protons, sodium ions, potassium ions, magnesium ions and calcium ions, and of certain organic molecules including those having positively charged functional groups can typically take place within the crystal lattice structure of the smectite clays. A clay may be chosen for its ability to preferentially absorb one cation type, such ability being assessed by measurements of relative ion exchange capacity. The smectite clays suitable herein typically have a cation exchange capacity of at least 50 meq/100g. U.S. Patent No. 3,954,632 describes a method for measurement of cation exchange capacity.
  • The crystal lattice structure of the clay mineral compounds may have, in a preferred execution, a cationic fabric softening agent substituted therein. Such substituted clays have been termed 'hydrophobically activated' clays.

Suitable cationic fabric softening agents include the water insoluble tertiary amines or dilong chain amide materials as disclosed in GB-A-1 514 276 and EP-B-0 011 340.
  • A preferred commercially available "hydrophobically activated" clay is a bentonite clay containing approximately 40% by weight of a dimethyl ditallow quaternary ammonium salt sold under the tradename Claytone EM by English China Clays International.
  • In a highly preferred embodiment of the invention, the clay is present in an intimate mixture or in a particle with a humectant and a hydrophobic compound, preferably a wax or oil, such as paraffin oil. Preferred humectants are organic compounds, including propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, dimers or trimers of glycol, most preferably glycerol. The particle is preferably an agglomerate.

  • The clay flocculating agent functions such as to bring together the particles of clay compound in the wash solution and hence to aid their deposition onto the surface of the fabrics in the wash. This functional requirement is hence different from that of clay dispersant compounds which are commonly added to laundry detergent compositions to aid the removal of clay soils from fabrics and enable their dispersion within the wash solution.
  • Preferred as clay flocculating agents herein are organic polymeric materials having an average weight of from 100,000 to 10,000,000, preferably from 150,000 to 5,000,000, more preferably from 200,000 to 2,000,000.

Homopolymers of, on particular, ethylene oxide, but also acrylamide and acrylic acid are preferred.
  • European Patents No.s EP-A-299,575 and EP-A-313,146 in the name of the Procter and Gamble Company describe preferred organic polymeric clay flocculating agents for use herein.
  • The weight ratio of clay to the flocculating polymer is preferably from 1000:1 1 to 1:1, more preferably from 500:1 to 1:1, most preferably from 300:1 to 1:1, or even more preferably from 80:1 to 10:1, or in certain applications even from 60:1 to 20:1.
  • Inorganic clay flocculating agents are also suitable herein, typical examples of which include lime and alum.
  • The flocculating agent is preferably present in a detergent base granule such as a detergent agglomerate, extrudate or spray-dried particle, comprising generally one or more surfactants and builders.
  • Effervescent

  • Further examples of acid and carbonate sources and other effervescent systems may be found in : (Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms : Tablets Volume 1 Page 287 to 291).
  • Carbonate salts
  • Suitable alkali and/ or earth alkali inorganic carbonate salts herein include carbonate and hydrogen carbonate of potassium, lithium, sodium, and the like amongst which sodium and potassium carbonate are preferred. Suitable bicarbonates to be used herein include any alkali metal salt of bicarbonate like lithium, sodium, potassium and the like, amongst which sodium and potassium bicarbonate are preferred. However, the choice of carbonate or bicarbonate or mixtures thereof may be made depending on the pH desired in the aqueous medium wherein the granules are dissolved. For example where a relative high pH is desired in the aqueous medium (e.g., above pH 9.5) it may be preferred to use carbonate alone or to use a combination of carbonate and bicarbonate wherein the level of carbonate is higher than the level of bicarbonate. The inorganic alkali and/ or earth alkali carbonate salt of the compositions of the invention comprises preferably a potassium or more preferably a sodium salt of carbonate and/ or bicarbonate. Preferably, the carbonate salt comprises sodium carbonate, optionally also a sodium bicarbonate.
  • The inorganic carbonate salts herein are preferably present at a level of at least 20% by weight of the composition. Preferably they are present at a level of at least 23% or even 25% or even 30% by weight, preferably up to about 60% by weight or more preferably up to 55% or even 50% by weight.
  • They may be added completely or partially as separate powdered or granular component, as co-granules with other detergent ingredients, for example other salts or surfactants. In solid detergent compositions of the invention, they may also completely or partially be present in detergent granules such as agglomerates or spray dried granules.
  • In one embodiment of the invention, an effervescence source is present, preferably comprising an organic acid, such as carboxylic acids or aminoacids, and a carbonate. Then it may be preferred that part or all of the carbonate salt herein is premixed with the organic acid, and thus present in an separate granular component.
  • Preferred effervescent source are selected from compressed particles of citric acid and carbonate optionally with a binder; and particle of carbonate, bicarbonate and malic or maleic acid in weight ratios of 4:2:4. The dry add form of citric acid and carbonate are preferably used.
  • The carbonate may have any particle size. In one embodiment, in particular when the carbonate salt is present in a granule and not as separately added compound, the carbonate salt has preferably a volume median particle size from 5 to 375 microns, whereby preferably at least 60%, preferably at least 70% or even at least 80% or even at least 90% by volume, has a particle size of from 1 to 425 microns. More preferably, the carbon dioxide source has a volume median particle size of 10 to 250, whereby preferably at least 60 %, or even at least 70% or even at least 80% or even at least 90% by volume, has a particle size of from 1 to 375 microns; or even preferably a volume median particle size from 10 to 200 microns, whereby preferably at least 60 %, preferably at least 70% or even at least 80% or even at least 90% by volume, has a particle size of from 1 to 250 microns.
  • In particular when the carbonate salt is added as separate component, so to say 'dry-added' or admixed to the other detergent ingredients, the carbonate may have any particle size, including the above specified particle sizes, but preferably at least an volume average particle size of 200 microns or even 250 microns or even 300 microns.
  • It may be preferred that the carbon dioxide source of the required particle size is obtained by grinding a larger particle size material, optionally followed by selecting the material with the required particle size by any suitable method.
  • Whilst percarbonate salts may be present in the compositions of the invention as a bleaching agent, they are not included in the carbonate salts as defined herein
  • Other preferred optional ingredients include enzyme stabilisers, polymeric soil release agents, materials effective for inhibiting the transfer of dyes from one fabric to another during the cleaning process (i.e., dye transfer inhibiting agents), polymeric dispersing agents, suds suppressors, optical brighteners or other brightening or whitening agents, anti-static agents, other active ingredients, carriers, hydrotropes, processing aids, dyes or pigments, solvents for liquid formulations and solid fillers for bar compositions.
  • Still in another aspect of the invention, there is provided a packaged composition comprising the processed product of the invention or composition of the invention. Preferably, the packaged composition is a closed packaging system having a moisture vapour transmission rate of less than 20g/m2/24 hours.

  • Method of use
  • Also provided herein is a method for providing a delayed release of an active ketone or aldehyde which comprises the step of contacting the surface to be treated with a a compound or composition of the invention, and thereafter contacting the treated surface with a material, preferably an aqueous medium like moisture or any other means susceptible of releasing the perfume from the amine reaction product.
  • By "surface", it is meant any surface onto which the compound can deposit. Typical examples of such material are fabrics, hard surfaces such as dishware, floors, bathrooms, toilet, kitchen and other surfaces in need of a delayed release of a perfume ketone and/or aldehyde such as that with litter like animal litter. Preferably, the surface is selected from a fabric, a tile, a ceramic; more preferably is a fabric.
  • By "delayed release" is meant release of the active component (e.g perfume) over a longer period of time than by the use of the active (e.g., perfume) itself.
  • Still in another aspect of the invention, there is provided the use of the product of the invention for the manufacture of a laundry and cleaning composition for delivering residual fragrance and fabric care, in particular color care, onto the fabrics on which it is applied.
  • The following are synthesis examples of compounds as defined in the present invention:
  • I-Synthesis of ethyl 4-aminobenzoate with 2,4-dimethyl-3-cyclohexen-1-carboxaldehyde
  • To an ice cooled stirred solution of 10 g of 2,4-dimethyl-3-cyclohexen-1-carboxaldehyde (0.07 mol) in 35 mL EtOH and molecular sieves (4A, 20 g) 1eq of the amine was added via an addition funnel. The reaction mixture was stirred under nitrogen atmosphere and protected from light. After 6 days the mixture was filtrated and the solvent was removed. The yield of imine formation is about 90%.
  • Similar results were obtained where the 2,4-dimethyl-3-cyclohexen-1-carboxaldehyde was replaced by bourgeonal, trans-2-nonenal, or trans-2-hexenal.
  • II-Synthesis of 1,4-bis-(3-aminopropyl)-piperazine with α-Damascone
  • In order to substitute both primary amine groups with a perfume, 2eq of perfume were used for 1eq of amino functional polymer. To an ice cooled stirred solution of 1mmol of α-Damascone in 6 mL EtOH and molecular sieves (4Å, 20 g), 0.5eq of 1,4-bis-(3-aminopropyl)-piperazine was added via an addition funnel. The reaction mixture was stirred under nitrogen atmosphere and protected from light. After the disappearance of the absorption peak from the NMR spectrum of the free perfume raw material (from 3 to 16 hours), the mixture was filtrated and the solvent was removed by vacuum distillation. The yield of β-aminoketone formation is about 90%.
  • Similar results were obtained where the α-Damascone was replaced by 2,4-dimethyl-3-cyclohexen-1-carboxaldehyde, vertocitral, bourgeonal, δ-Damascone or citronellal. In these instances, Schiff-bases are formed.
  • III-Synthesis of Lupasol with Damascones and 2.4-dimethyl-3-cyclohexen-1-carboxaldehyde
  • The β-amino ketone from Lupasol G100 (commercially available from BASF with a content of 50 % water, 50 % Lupasol G100 (Mw. 5000)) and α-Damascone (or δ-Damascone) was prepared using any one of these three different procedures described as follows:
  • 1. Commercially available Lupasol G100 was dried using the following procedure: 20 g of the Lupasol solution was dried at the rotating evaporator during several hours. The obtained residue, still containing about 4.5 g of H2O, was azeotropically distilled at the rotating evaporator using toluene. The residue was then placed in the desiccator dried at 60°C (using P2O5 as water absorbing material). On basis of the obtained weight we concluded that the oil contained less then 10 % H2O. On basis of the NMR-spectra we concluded that this is probably less then 5 %. This dried sample was then used in the preparation of β-amino ketones. 1.38 g of the dried Lupasol G100 obtained above was dissolved in 7 ml. ethanol. The solution was stirred gently with a magnetic stirrer during a few minutes before 2 g Na2SO4 (anhydrous) was added. After stirring again for a few minutes 2.21 g α-Damascone was added over a period of 1 minute. After two days reaction, the mixture was filtrated over a Celite filter (vide supra), and the residue washed thoroughly with ethanol. About 180 ml, of a light foaming filtrate was obtained. This was concentrated until dryness using a rotating evaporator and dried over P2O5 in an desiccator at room temperature. About 3.5 of a colorless oil was obtained.
  • 2. 4.3 g Lupasol G100 solution was without drying dissolved in 10 ml. ethanol. The solution was stirred with a magnetic stirrer during a few minutes before 3.47 g α-Damascone was added over a 1.5 minutes period. After two days reaction at room temperature the reaction mixture was filtrated over Celite (vide supra) and the residue washed thoroughly with ethanol. The filtrate (200 ml., light foaming) was concentrated at the evaporator and dried in an desiccator (P2O5 as drying agent) at room temperature. About 5.9 g of a colorless oil was obtained.
  • 3. To 3.0 g of Lupasol G100 solution (used as such) was added 2.41 g α-Damascone. The mixture was stirred without using solvent. After stirring for 4 days the obtained oil was dissolved in 100 ml. THE, dried with MgSO4, filtrated and the filtrate concentrated at the rotating evaporator. After drying in the desiccator (P2O5) at room temperature about 4 g of a colorless oil was obtained. This oil still contained about 13 % (w/w) of THF, even after a prolonged drying (3 days).
  • The product obtained from the three procedures had identical NMR-spectra.
  • Similar results are obtained where Lupasol G35 or Lupasol HF is used instead of Lupasol G100.
  • Similar results were obtained where the α-Damascone was replaced by 2,4-dimethyl-3-cyclohexen-1-carboxaldehyde.
  • Still another possible route of synthesis is by using Lupasol P. The β-amino ketone from Lupasol P and α-Damascone was prepared using the procedure described as follows: 1.8g Lupasol P solution (50 % H2O, 50 % Lupasol Mw. 750000, as obtained from BASF) was dissolved in 7 ml ethanol, the solution was stirred for a few minutes with a magnetic stirrer before 1.44 g α-Damascone was added. After three days the reaction mixture was filtrated over a celite filter (vide supra) and the residue washed thoroughly with ethanol. After concentrating of the filtrate and drying of the obtained oil in the desiccator (P2O5) at room temperature, about 3 g of the reaction product between Lupasol and α-Damascone was obtained.
  • Processing method
  • Processing of the amine reaction product with the carrier is done as hereinbefore described. In particular, 20g of amine reaction product as above synthesised is mixed in an Ultra Turrax containing 80g of carrier, e.g. TAE80 for 5 minutes, the temperature of mixing being of about 70°C, and the speed of the mixer being sufficient so as to maintain such temperature substantially constant. Temperature and time will depend on the nature of the carrier but are a conventional step to skilled man. The resulting mixture is maintained at a temperature substantially equal to the melting point of the carrier material. Once the mixture is at a suitable temperature, it is poured onto the coating material and agglomerated in an electrical mixer like a Braun Mixer. Care is also taken that the temperature during the mixing does not substantially exceed the melting point of the carrier material. For example, 150g of a mixture containing TAE80 and 20% of the amine reaction product is poured at 60°C into a Braun Mixer containing 300g of carbonate. The mixing of the ingredients is carried out for about 5 minutes. Care is also taken that the temperature during the mixing does not exceed 65°C. Again, temperature and time will depend on the nature of the coating agent but are conventional step to skilled man.
