Description

AMINO TYPE REACTION COMPOUNDS COMPRISING ONE OR MORE ACTIVE INGREDIENTS FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a reaction product between an amine and an active component, in particular an active aldehyde or ketone, more preferred an aldehyde or ketone perfume. More particularly, the invention relates to such reaction products for use in softening compositions.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The perfumed products are well known in the art. However, the acceptance by the consumer of such perfumed products as softening products is determined not only by the performance achieved with these products, but also by the aesthetic aspects associated therewith. The perfume components are, therefore, an important aspect of the successful formulation of such commercial products. Consumers also want treated fabrics to keep the fragrance pleasant over time. Indeed, the perfume additives make such compositions more aesthetically pleasing to the consumer, and in some cases the perfume imparts a pleasant fragrance to the fabrics treated therewith. However, the amount of perfume carried from an aqueous laundry solution onto the fabrics is often marginal, and does not last long on them. In addition, fragrance materials are often very expensive, and their inefficient use in compositions for cleaning and laundry, and their inefficient supply in fabrics, result in a very high cost, both for consumers and for the consumers. manufacturers of cleaning and laundry products. Therefore, the industry continues to urgently seek an efficient and effective mode of supply of fragrance in cleaning and laundry products, especially to improve the supply of durable fragrance to fabrics. One solution is to use vehicle mechanisms to deliver the perfume, for example by encapsulation. This is taught in the prior art and is described in the U.S. patent. No. 5,188,753. Another solution is to formulate compounds that provide a delayed release of the perfume over a longer period than that provided by using the perfume alone. A description of such compounds can be found in WO 95/04809, WO 95/08976 and in co-pending application EP 95303762.9. However, despite advances in the art, there is still a need for a compound that provides a delayed release of the active component, in particular a perfume ingredient.

This need is even more acute for perfume ingredients that are characteristic of fresh shades, particularly the perfume ingredients of the aldehyde and ketone type. Indeed, although these ingredients provide a fresh fragrance, these perfumes are also very volatile and have a low substantivity on the surface to be treated like the fabrics. Accordingly, a further object of the invention is to provide a softening composition comprising a perfume component that provides a fresh fragrance and is substantive to the treated surface. The applicant has now discovered that reaction products specific to amine-type compounds with an active aldehyde or ketone, such as imine-type compounds, also provide a delayed release of the active agent such as a perfume. Imine-type compounds are known in the art under the name of Schiff's bases, which are the condensation of an aldehyde perfume ingredient with an anthranilate. A typical description can be found in US 4853369. By means of this compound, the aldehyde perfume becomes substantive towards the fabrics. However, a problem encountered with these Schiff bases is that the methyl anthranilate compound also exhibits a strong odor, which results in a mixture of fragrances, reducing, and even inhibiting, the perception of the fragrance of aldehyde and / or ketone. In order to achieve said perfume composition with comparable fresh shades of aldehyde or ketone, which at the same time has satisfactory substantivity in the fabrics, the perfume formulators have formulated the composition on all sides. For example, having a vehicle or encapsulating material for such notes, for example with cyclodextrin, zeolites or starch. Another solution is the use of a glucosamine as described in JP 09040687. However, it has been found that this compound gives very low stability in the washing process. As a result, an insufficient amount of perfume residue has been found on the fabric treated with these glucosamine-like compounds. Its use in softening compositions is not described. An additional solution is described in "Chemical release control", Kamogawa et al., J. Poly. Sci., Polym. Chem. Ed. Vol. 20, 3121 (1982), which describes the use of aminostyrene-type compounds condensed with aldehyde perfumes, whereby the release of the perfume is activated by copolymerization or acidification of the compound. However, its use is not mentioned. The applicant has now discovered that a reaction product between a specific primary and / or secondary amine and an active component also satisfies said need. Another advantage of the compounds of the invention is their ease of manufacture, which makes their use more convenient.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a reaction product between a primary and / or secondary amine compound and an active component selected from ketone, aldehyde, and mixtures thereof; characterized in that said amine-type compound has a lower Odor Intensity Index than that of a 1% methyl anthranilate solution in dipropylene glycol, and the reaction product has a Dry Surface Odor number of more than 5; and with the proviso that said amine-type compound is not an amino-styrene. In another aspect of the invention, there is provided a softening composition comprising a primary and / or secondary amine compound and an active component selected from ketone, aldehyde, and mixtures thereof; characterized in that said amine-type compound has an Odor Intensity Index lower than that of a 1% methyl anthranilate solution in dipropylene glycol. In a further aspect of the invention, there is provided a method for delivering residual fragrance to a surface, comprising the steps of contacting said surface with a compound or composition of the invention and thereafter contacting the treated fabric with a material so that the active ingredient is released from the reaction product between the amine and the active ingredient.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The essential component of the invention is the reaction product between a primary and / or secondary amine compound and an active component selected from ketone, aldehyde, and mixtures thereof; characterized in that said amine-type compound has a lower Odor Intensity Index than that of a 1% methyl anthranilate solution in dipropylene glycol, and the reaction product has a Dry Surface Odor number of more than 5; and with the proviso that said amine-type compound is not an amino-styrene.

I. Reaction product between a compound containing a primary and / or secondary amine functional group and a perfume component An essential component of the invention is a reaction product between a compound containing a primary and / or secondary amine functional group , and a perfume component, hereinafter referred to as "amine type reaction product".

A- Primary and / or secondary amine. By "primary and / or secondary amine" is meant a component carrying at least one primary and / or secondary amine and / or amide functional group. The primary and / or secondary amine type compound is also characterized by an Odor Intensity Index lower than that of a 1% methyl anthranilate solution in dipropylene glycol.

Odor Intensity Index Method By Odor Intensity Index it is understood that pure chemical substances were diluted 1% in dipropylene glycol, an odor-free solvent, used in perfumery. This percentage is more representative of the levels of use. Scent strips, or "teletas", were impregnated by immersion and presented to the expert panelist for evaluation. Expert panelists are trained counselors for at least six months in the qualification of odors and whose qualifications are reviewed for their accuracy and reproducibility against a reference on an ongoing basis. For each amine-type compound, two teletas were presented to the panelist: a reference (Me anthranilate, unknown to the panelists) and the sample. Panelists were asked to rank both strips for odor on an odor intensity scale of 0-5, with 0 for no detected odor and 5 for a very strong odor.

Results The following represents the Odor Intensity index of an amine-type compound suitable for use in the present invention and in accordance with the above procedure. In each case, the numbers are arithmetic averages among 5 expert panelists, and the results are statistically significantly different at 95% confidence level: Methyl anthranilate 1% (reference) 3.4 Ethyl 4-aminobenzoate (EAB) 1% 0.9 A general structure for the primary amine compound of the invention is as follows: B- (NH 2) n; in which B is a vehicle material, and n is an index whose value is at least 1.

In addition, the structure of the compound may also have one or more of both groups -NH2 and -NH-. Preferred B vehicles are inorganic or organic vehicles. By "inorganic vehicle" is meant a vehicle that does not have or substantially does not have carbon-based skeletons. Among the preferred inorganic vehicles are organic-organosilicon monomers or polymers or organosilane, siloxane, silazane, aluman, aluminosiloxane or aluminosilicate amino-derivatives. Typical examples of such vehicles are: organosiloxanes with at least one primary amine moiety such as the diaminoalkylsiloxane [H2NCH2 (CH3) 2Si] O, or the organoaminosilane (CeH5) 3SiNH2 described in "Chemistry and Technology of Silicone" of silicone], W. Noli, Academic Press Inc. 1998, London, p. 209, 106). Monomers or organic-organosilicon polymers or copolymers containing one or more portions of organosilylhydrazine are also preferred. A typical example of such a class of carrier material is N.N'-bisttrimetilsi? IOhydrazine (Me3Si) 2NNH2, described in "The OrganoSilicon Chemistry Second International Symposium, Puree and Applied Chemistry [Organosilicon Chemistry, Second International Symposium on Pure Chemistry and Applied], Vol. 19 Nos. 3-4 (1969) The following are also preferred mono- or polysilanes, exemplified by 1,1,1,3,3, 3-hexamethyl-2-phenylaminosyldildisilazane [(CH 3). 3Si] 2NSi (C6H5) NH2) 2, described in "OrganoSilicon Compounds", 1965, V. Bazant et al., Academic Press.) Other preferred examples of silicone polymer derivatives are 1, 1, 5 , 5,7,7,11, 11-octamethyl-3-9-bis [2- (2-aminoethylamino) -ethyl] -1, 5,7,11-tetrasyl-3,9-diaza-6,12- cyclic dioxacyclododecane and hexaethoxy-diamino-cyclo-tetrasiloxane (C6H5) (NH2) 2SÍ4 ?, ibidem, volume 2 part 2, page 474, page 454) Inorganic polymer carriers with amino functional groups to be used in the present invention are the polyaminoalkylpolysiloxanes. The typical description can be found in JP 79,131, 096, and EP 058 493. Even other inorganic polymer carriers suitable for use in the present invention are the polydialkylsiloxanes with amino functional groups described in EP 150 867, and having The general formula: wherein R = C- ß alkyl, preferably C1-; n is an integer from 0 to 16, preferably from 1 to 6; R '= nothing, O, C = O, COO, NC = O, C = O-NR, NR, SOm, m = 2.3.

Of course, the amine compound may be interrupted or substituted with linkers or a substantive cellulose group. A general formula for this amine compound may be represented as follows: NH2n-Lm-B-Lm-R * m; wherein each m is an index whose value is 0 or at least 1, and n is an index whose value is at least 1 as defined above in the present invention. As can be seen above, the amino group is linked to a carrier molecule as defined by the classes described below. The primary and / or secondary amine group is linked directly to the vehicle group or via a linker group L. The vehicle may also be substituted with a substituent R *, and R * may be attached to the vehicle directly or via a linker group L Of course, R * may also contain branching groups, for example tertiary amine and amide groups. For the purposes of the invention, it is important that the amine-type compound, comprising at least one primary and / or secondary amine group, react with the aldehyde and / or ketone of the perfume to form the products of the reaction. Of course, the amine-type compound is not limited to having only one amine function. Indeed, and preferably, the amino compound comprises more than one amine function, thereby allowing the amine-type compound to react with various aldehydes and / or ketones. Accordingly, reaction products carrying aldehyde (s) and / or ketone (s) combined can be achieved, thereby resulting in a combined release of such fragrances. The typical linker group includes: -N- - N - C - - (CH 2) X - I I II H R * O x > 0 substitution in the L can also be a combination position or, m, p L may also contain -O- if this group is not directly bonded to N, for example, H2N-CH2-CH2O- Most of the compounds described in the classes of amine-type compounds, will henceforth contain at least a substituent group classified as R *. R * contains from 1 to 22 carbon atoms in the main chain and optionally it can be an alkyl, alkenyl or alkyl benzene chain. It can also contain alicyclic, aromatic, heteroaromatic or heterocyclic systems, either inserted in the main chain or by substitution of an H atom of the main chain.

The benzene ring is further substituted in the para and / or meta position with R * as defined above. R * may be attached to the benzene ring by an L linker. The benzene ring may be substituted by other aromatic ring systems including naphthalene, idol, benzimidazole, pyrimidine, purine and mixtures thereof. Preferably, R * is attached to the benzene ring in its para position. Typical aminobenzene derivatives have the following formula: Preferred aminobenzene derivatives have the following formula: Preferred aminobenzene derivatives are alkyl esters of 4-aminobenzoate type compounds, preferably selected from ethyl 4-aminobenzoate, phenylethyl 4-aminobenzoate, phenyl 4-aminobenzoate, 4-amino-N '- (3- aminopropyl) benzamide, and mixtures thereof. 2. Polyamines It is required that the polyamines of the invention have at least one free and unmodified primary and / or secondary amino group (preferably more than one), to react with the active aldehyde or ketone. In the polyamines, H may be substituted by R *, optionally by a linker group L. Additionally, the primary and / or secondary amine group may be attached to the polymer end by a linker group L. Suitable polyamine type compounds for to be used in the present invention are the polyamines soluble or water-dispersible. Typically, the polyamines to be used in the present invention have a molecular weight of between 150 and 2x106, preferably between 400 and 106, more preferred between 5000 and 106. These polyamines comprise skeletons which may be linear or cyclic. The polyamine backbones may also comprise polyamine branching chains to a greater or lesser degree. Preferably, the polyamine backbones described in the present invention are modified in such a way that at least one, preferably each nitrogen of the polyamine chain is described after said modification in terms of a unit that is substituted, quaternized, oxidized, or combinations thereof. For the purposes of the present invention, the term "modification" as it refers to the chemical structure of polyamine, is defined as the replacement of a hydrogen atom of -NH of the skeleton with a unit R '(substitution), quatemization of a skeleton nitrogen (quaternization) or oxidation from a nitrogen of the skeleton to the N-oxide (oxidation). The terms "modification" and "substitution" are used interchangeably when reference is made to the process of replacing a hydrogen atom attached to a nitrogen of the backbone with a unit R '. The quaternization or oxidation may take place in some circumstances without substitution, but preferably the substitution is accompanied by oxidation or quaternization of at least one nitrogen of the skeleton. The linear or non-cyclic polyamine skeletons comprising the polyamine have the general formula: [R2N-R] n + 1 [N-R] m- [N-R] n-NR2. The cyclic polyamine skeletons comprising the polyamine have the general formula: The above skeletons, prior to the subsequent optional but preferred modification, comprise primary, secondary and tertiary amine nitrogens linked by "linker" units R. For the purposes of the present invention, the primary amine nitrogens comprising the backbone or chain branch once modified, are defined as "terminal" units V or Z. For example, when a primary amine moiety, located at the end of the main backbone of the polyamine or branching chain, having the structure H2N- [R] - is modified from according to the present invention, it is hereinafter defined as a "terminal" V unit, or simply unit V. However, for the purposes of the present invention, some or all of the primary amine portions may remain unmodified, subject to the restrictions that are described here below. These unmodified primary amine portions, by virtue of their position in the skeleton chain, remain as "terminal" units. Similarly, when a portion of the primary amine, located at the end of the polyamine backbone, having the structure -NH2 is modified in accordance with the present invention, hereinafter it is defined as a "terminal" Z unit, or simply a unit Z. This unit may remain unmodified, subject to the restrictions described here below. Similarly, the secondary amine nitrogens comprising the backbone or branching chain, once modified, are defined as "backbone" units W. For example, when a secondary amine portion, the main constituent of the backbones and branch chains of the present invention, having the structure: H - [NR] - , is modified according to the present invention, is then defined as a "skeleton" unit W, or simply a unit W. However, for the purposes of the present invention, some or all of the secondary amine portions may remain modified. These unmodified secondary amine portions, by virtue of their position in the skeleton chain, remain as "skeleton" units. In a similar manner, the tertiary amine nitrogens comprising the backbone or branching chain, once modified, are further referred to as "branching" Y units. For example when, a portion of tertiary amine, which is a chain branching point of the polyamine skeleton or other branching chains or rings, having the structure: it is modified in accordance with the present invention, then it is defined as a "branching" Y unit or simply a Y unit. However, for the purposes of the present invention, some or all of the tertiary amine portions may remain unmodified. These unmodified tertiary amine portions, by virtue of their position in the skeleton chain, remain as "branching" units. The R units associated with the nitrogens of the units V, W and Y, which serve to bind the polyamine nitrogens, are described later in the present invention. The final modified structure of the polyamines of the present invention can therefore be represented by means of the general formula V (n + 1) WmYn Z for linear polyamine, and by the general formula V (n.k + 1) WmYnY'kZ for cyclic polyamine. For the case of polyamines comprising rings, a unit Y 'of the formula: R [N-R] - serves as a branch point for a skeleton or branching ring. For each unit Y ', there exists a unit Y that has the formula: [N-R] - which forms the point of attachment of the ring with the polymer backbone or branching. In the only case in which the skeleton is a complete ring, the polyamine skeleton has the formula: R i [RyM-R] ,. - [N-R] m- [N-R] n therefore, it does not comprise terminal Z unit and has the formula: Vn-kWmYnY'k in which k is the number of branching units forming the ring. Preferably, the polyamine backbones of the present invention do not comprise rings. In the case of non-cyclic polyamines, the ratio of the index n to the index m, refers to the relative degree of branching. A fully linear unbranched modified polyamine according to the present invention has the formula: VWm Z that is, n is equal to 0. The larger the value of n (the smaller the proportion of man), the greater will be the degree of branching in the molecule. Typically, the value of m varies from a minimum value of 4 to 700, preferably 4 to 400, however, larger values of m are also preferred, especially when the value of the index n is very low or close to 0. Each polyamine nitrogen, whether primary, secondary or tertiary, once modified in accordance with the present invention, is subsequently defined as a member of one of three general classes; replaced, quaternized or oxidized. The unmodified polyamine nitrogen units are classified into units V, W, Y, Y 'or Z, depending on whether they are primary, secondary or tertiary nitrogens. That is, the unmodified primary amine nitrogens are V or Z units, the unmodified secondary amine nitrogens are units W or Y ', and the unmodified tertiary amine nitrogens are Y units, for the purposes of the present invention. Modified portions of primary amine are defined as "terminal" units V, and have one of three forms: a) simple substituted units that have the structure: R-N- R I R b) quaternized units that have the structure: R-N + -R I R in which X is an adequate counter-ion that provides charge balance; and c) oxidized units having the structure: The modified secondary amine moieties are defined as "skeleton" units W having one of three forms: a) simple substituted units having the structure: - N- R - I R b) quaternized units that have the structure: R 'x- - N + -R - I R in which X is an adequate counter-ion that provides a load balance; and c) oxidized units having the structure: O t - N - R - I R Other modified secondary amine portions are defined as Y1 units that have one of three forms: a) simple substituted units having the structure: - N- R - I R b) quaternized units that have the structure: R X "- N + - R - I R wherein X is a suitable counter-ion to provide load balance; and c) oxidized units having the structure: The modified tertiary amine moieties are defined as Y "branching" units having one of three forms: a) unmodified units having the structure: - N- R - b) quaternized units that have the structure: in which X is an adequate counter-ion that provides a load balance; and c) oxidized units having the structure: Certain portions of modified primary amine are defined as "terminal" Z units that have one of three forms: a) simple substituted units that have the structure: - N- R I R b) quaternized units that have the structure: R 'x- - N + - I R in which X is an adequate counter-ion that provides load balance; and c) oxidized units having the structure: When any position on a nitrogen is not substituted or is not modified, it is understood that R 'will be substituted by hydrogen. For example, a primary amine unit comprising an R 'unit in the form of a hydroxyethyl portion is a V-terminal unit having the formula (HOCH2CH2) HN-.

For the purposes of the present invention, there are two types of chain terminator units, the V and Z units. The "terminal" Z unit is derived from a terminal primary amine portion of the structure -NH2- The non-cyclic polyamine skeletons according to the present invention, they comprise only one unit Z, while the cyclic polyamines may not comprise units Z. The unit "terminal" Z may be substituted with any of the units R 'described hereinafter, except when the Unit Z is modified to form an N-oxide. In the case where the nitrogen of unit Z is oxidized to an N-oxide, the nitrogen must be modified and therefore R 'can not be a hydrogen. The polyamines of the present invention comprise units skeletal "linkers" R serving to join the nitrogen atoms of the skeleton. The R units comprise units which, for the purpose of the present invention, are called "hydrocarbon R" units and "oxy R" units. The "hydrocarbyl" units R are C 2 -C 12 alkylene, C 4 -C 2 alkenylene and C 3 -C 2 hydroxyalkylene, in which the hydroxyl portion can take any position on the chain of unit R, except the carbon atoms. carbon directly attached to the nitrogens of the polyamine skeleton; C-C 2 -dihydroxyalkylene wherein the hydroxyl portions can occupy any two of the carbon atoms of the chain of the R unit, except those carbon atoms directly attached to the nitrogens of the polyamine skeleton; dialkylarylene of C-8-C12 which, for the purpose of the present invention, are arylene portions having two alkyl substituent groups as part of the linker chain. For example, a dialkylarylene unit has the formula: although the unit does not need to be 1, 4-substituted, but it can also be 1, 2- or 1, 3-substituted with C 2 -C 2 alkylene, preferably ethylene, 1,2-propylene and mixtures thereof , more preferred ethylene.

B is hydrogen, C6 alkyl, - (CH2) qS03M, - (CH2) pC02M, - (CH2) q (CHSO3M) CH2SO3M, - (CH2) q (CHSO2M) CH2SO3M, - (CH2) pP03M, -PO3M, preferably hydrogen, - (CH2) qS03M, - (CH2) q (CHSO3M) CH2SO3M, - (CH2) q (CHSO2M) CH2SO3M, more preferred hydrogen or - (CH2) qSO3M. M is hydrogen or a cation soluble in water in an amount sufficient to satisfy the charge balance. For example, a sodium cation also satisfies - (CH2) pCO2M and - (CH2) qSO3M, resulting in portions - (CH2) pCO2Na and - (CH2) qSO3Na. More than one monovalent cation (sodium, potassium, etc.) can be combined to satisfy the required chemical charge balance. However, the charge of more than one anionic group can be balanced by means of a divalent cation, or more than one monovalent cation may be necessary to satisfy the loading requirements of a polyanionic radical. For example, a - (CH2) pPO3M portion substituted with sodium atoms has the formula - (CH2) pPO3Na3. Divalent cations such as calcium (Ca2 +) or magnesium (Mg2 +) can be substituted by, or combined with, other suitable water-soluble monovalent cations. The preferred cations are sodium and potassium, and sodium is very preferred. X is a water-soluble anion such as chlorine (Cl "), bromine (Br) and iodine (I"), or X can be any negatively charged radical such as sulfate (SO42") and methosulfate (CH3SO3"). The indexes of the formulas have the following values: p has the value of 1 to 6, q has the value of 0 to 6; r has the value of 0 or 1; w has the value of 0 or 1, x has the value of 1 to 100; and has the value from 0 to 100; z has the value 0 or 1; m has the value from 2 to 700, preferably from 4 to 400, n has the value from 0 to 350, preferably from 0 to 200; m + n has the value of at least 5. Preferably x has a value that is in the range of 1 to 20, preferably 1 to 10. Preferred polyamines of the present invention comprise polyamine skeletons wherein about 50% of the R groups comprise "oxy" R units, preferably less than about 20%, more preferred less than 5%, and even more preferred the R units do not comprise "oxy" R units. Most preferred polyamines which do not comprise R "oxy" units, comprise polyamine skeletons in which less than 50% of the R groups comprise more than 3 carbon atoms. For example, ethylene, 1,2-propionate and 1,3-propylene comprise 3 or fewer carbon atoms and are the preferred "hydrocarbon" R units. That is, when the R units of the backbone are C2-C2 alkylene, C2-C3 alkylene is preferred and ethylene is most preferred. The polyamines of the present invention comprise homogenous and non-homogeneous modified polyamine backbones in which 100% or less of the -NH units are modified. For the purpose of the present invention, the term "homogeneous polyamine skeleton" is defined as a polyamine skeleton having the same R units (ie, all are ethylene). However, this definition of equality does not exclude polyamines comprising other foreign units comprising the polymer backbone, which are present due to an artifact of the chosen chemical synthesis method. For example, those skilled in the art know that ethanolamine can be used as an "initiator" in the synthesis of polyethyleneimines, therefore a polyethyleneimine sample comprising a hydroxyethyl portion resulting from the polymerization "primer" would be considered, comprising a homogeneous polyamine skeleton for the purposes of the present invention. A polyamine skeleton comprising all ethylene R units in which no Y branching units are present, is a homogeneous skeleton. A polyamine skeleton comprising all R units of ethylene is a homogeneous skeleton regardless of the degree of branching or the number of cyclic branches present. For the purposes of the present invention, the term "non-homogeneous polymer skeleton" refers to polyamine skeletons which are a mixture of various lengths of unit R and types of unit R. For example, an inhomogeneous skeleton comprises R units which are a mixture of ethylene and 1,2-propylene units. For purposes of the present invention, a mixture of "hydrocarbyl" and "oxy" R units is not necessary to provide a non-homogeneous skeleton. The preferred polyamines of the present invention comprise homogeneous polyamine backbones which are fully or partially substituted with polyethyleneoxy moieties, total or partially quaternized amines, nitrogens totally or partially oxidized to N-oxides, and mixtures thereof. However, not all nitrogens of the amine skeleton should be modified in the same way, leaving the choice of modification to the specific needs of the formulator. The degree of ethoxylation is also determined by the specific requirements of the formulator. Preferred polyamines comprising the backbone of the compounds of the present invention are generally polyalkylene imines (PAI's), polyethylene imines (PEI's), or PEI's joined in portions having longer R units than the PAI's, or original PEI's. Preferred amine polymer backbones comprise R units which are C2 alkylene units (ethylene), also known as polyethylene amines (PEI's). Preferred PEI's have at least moderate branching, that is, the ratio of m to n is less than 4: 1, however, PEI's that have a ratio of m to n of 2: 1 are more preferred. Preferred skeletons, before modification, have the general formula: R 'I i I [R2NCHCH2] n - [NCH2CH2] m- [NCH2CH2] n- NR2 in which R, m and n are the same defined above. Preferred PEI's will have a molecular weight of more than 200 daltons. The relative proportions of the primary, secondary and tertiary amine units in the polymer backbone, especially in the case of PEI's, will vary, depending on the form of preparation. Each hydrogen atom attached to each nitrogen atom of the polyamine backbone chain represents a potential site for subsequent substitution, quaternization or oxidation. These polyamines can be prepared, for example, by polymerizing ethyleneimine in the presence of a catalyst such as carbon dioxide, sodium bisulfite, sulfuric acid, hydrogen peroxide, hydrochloric acid, acetic acid, etc. The specific methods for preparing these polyamine skeletons are described in the U.S. patent.

. Glucamines A further preferred class of amine compounds is the class of glucamines of general structure: NH2-CH2- (CH (OH)) x-CH2OH in which one or more OH functions may be substituted, preferably by -OR *, and wherein x is an integer whose value is 3 or 4. R * can be attached to the OH groups either directly or by means of a linker unit as mentioned above in the present invention under L. For clarity, the term glucamine does not cover polymeric compounds. Preferred compounds of this class are selected from 2,3,4, 5,6-pentamethoxy-glucamine, 6-acetylglucamine, glucamine, and mixtures thereof. 6. Dendrimers Another additional class of amine compounds is the class of dendrimers. Suitable dendrimers carry free primary amine groups at the periphery of the spherical molecules, which can react with aldehydes or ketones (perfumes) to form the desired amine reaction product (perfume component) of the invention. By dendrimers it is meant that the molecule is formed from a core molecule as described for example in WO 96/02588, and in "Synthesis" [Synthesis], Feb. 1978, pages 155-158, or in " Encyclopedia of Polymer Science &Engineering "[Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Engineering], 2nd. edition, Hedstrand and others, in particular pages 46-91. The core is typically attached to multifunctional components to form the "generations." For the purposes of the present invention, the nature of internal generations is not critical. They can be based, for example, on polyamidoamines, polyamido alcohols, polyethers, polyamides, polyethylene imines, etc. It is important for the purposes of the present invention that the external generation (s) contain accessible primary and / or secondary amino functions. Also suitable are glycodendrimers such as those described for example in Nachrichten aus Chemie 11 (1996) p 1073-1079 and in WO 97/48711, with the proviso that free primary and / or secondary amine groups are present in the surface of these molecules. Preferred compounds are the polyethylenimine and polypropyleneimine dendrimers, the commercially available dendrimers of polyamidoamines (PAMAM) Starburst®, G0-G10 generation of Dendritech, and the Astromols® dendrimers, generation 1-5 of DSM being DiAminoButane polyamine DAB (PA) dendrimers with x = 2nx4 and n being generally comprised between 0 and 4. 7. Mono-, di-, oligo- and polysaccharides substituted with amino For the purposes of the present invention, the specific amino-substituted mono-, di-, oligo- and polysaccharides are also suitable. For the amino substituted monosaccharide of the present invention, it is necessary that the hemi-acetal and / or hemyl ketal functional group be blocked by a suitable substituent to provide sufficient stability for the intended application. As indicated above in the present invention, glucosamine is not a suitable amine. However, if the hemiacetal OH function is replaced by R *, said monosaccharide is made suitable for the purposes of the present invention. The amino group may be in the 2 to 5 or 6 position, depending on the type of monosaccharide, and is preferably in the C2, C5 or C6 position. Suitable amino substituted monosaccharides are: - C5 aldoses / ketoses: ribose, arabinose, xylose, lyxose, ribulose, xylulose; - C6 aldoses / ketoses: allose, altrose, glucose, mannose, gulose, galactose, talose, fructose, sorbose, tagatose, psychosis.

For amino-substituted disaccharides with unsubstituted aldose or ketose groups, the free OH-group needs to be replaced by R *, for example in lactose and maltose, while in sucrose there is no free acetal / ketal OH group. Optionally, more than one OH group can be substituted for R *. Suitable amino-substituted disaccharides are amino-substituted lactose, maltose, sucrose, cellobiose and trehalose. Suitable oligo- and polysaccharide-substituted amino polysaccharides are starch, cyclodextrin, dextran, glycogen, cellulose, mannan, geran, levane, alternating glucose, mannose, galactose, fructose, lactose, maltose, sucrose, cellobiose, cyclodextrin, chitosan, and / or mixtures thereof, amino-substituted. The molecules require carrying at least one amino group, preferably several. Chitosan does not require additional amino substitution. Also suitable for coupling carboxyl or aldehyde containing compounds are the following oligo- and functionalized polysaccharides and glycans, commercially available from the company Carbomer. In brackets is the reference number of Carbomer: Aminoalginate (5, 00002), diamnoalginate (5.00003), hexanediaminalgiene (5.00004 - 5.00006 - 5.00008), dodecanediaminalginate (5.00005 - 5.00007 - 5.00009), 6-amino-6-deoxy cellulose (5 , 00020), O-ethylaminocellulose (5,00022), O-methylaminocellulose (5,00023), 3-amino-3-deoxycellulose (5,0024), 2-amino-2-deoxycellulose (5,00025), 2,3 -diamino-2,3-dideoxycellulose (5,00026), 6 [N- (1,6-hexanediamine)] - 6-deoxy-cellulose (5,00027), 6- [N- (1,12-docedanodiamin)] - 6-deoxycellulose (5,00028), 0- [methyl- (N-1, 6-hexandiamin)] cellulose (5,00029), O- [methyl- (N-1, 12-dodecandiamin)] cellulose (5, 00031), 2,3-diamino-2,3-deoxy-alpha-cyclodextrin (5,0053), 6-amino-6-deoxy-beta-cyclodextrin (5,00054), O-ethylamino-beta-cyclodextrin (5, 0055), 6 [N-1, 6-hexandiamin) -6-deoxy-alpha-cyclodextrin (5,00056), 6 [N-1, 6-hexandiamin) -6-deoxy-beta-cyclodextrin (5,00057) , Aminodextran (5,00060), N- [di- (1,6-hexanediamine)] dextran (5,00061), N- [di- (1, 12-dodecandiamin)] dextran (5.0062), 6- amino-6-deoxy-alpha-D-galactosyl-guarano (5,00070 ), O-ethylaminoglorane (5,00071), Diaminoguarane (5,00072), 6-amino-6-deoxy-starch (5,00080), O-ethyl-starch (5,00081), 2,3-diamine-2, 3-dideoxyamide (5,00082), N- [6- (1,6-hexanediamine)] - 6-deoxydistamide (5,00083), N- [6- (1,12-dodecanediamine)] - 6-Deoxystarch (5,00084) and 2,3-di- [N (1,6-hexane diamine)] - 2,3-dideoxystarch (5,00085). In addition, with the use of any of the aforementioned compounds comprising at least one primary and / or secondary amine group such as polyamine, the resulting amine reaction product will provide fabric appearance benefits, in particular color care. and protection against fabric wear. Indeed, the appearance of the fabrics, for example of clothing, bedding, domestic clothing such as table linen, is a matter of interest to consumers. In effect, after the typical uses of the fabrics by the consumer, such as use, washing, rinsing and / or drying in the dryer, a loss of the original appearance of the fabric is observed, which may be partly due to the loss of fidelity and definition of color. Said problem of color loss is even more acute after multiple washing cycles. It has been found that the compositions of the present invention provide improved fabric appearance, protection against fabric wear and improved color care to washed fabrics, especially after multiple wash cycles. Therefore, the compositions of the present invention can simultaneously provide fabric care benefits and long-lasting perfume benefits.

Said isomers are also suitable for use in the present invention. In another embodiment, for the purposes of the present invention, perfume compounds are preferably suitable, preferably active ketones or aldehydes of perfumes characterized by having a low Odor Detection Threshold. Said Odor Detection Threshold (ODT) should be less than or equal to 1 ppm, preferably less than or equal to 10 ppb -measured under controlled Gas Chromatography (GC) conditions such as those described below in the present invention. This parameter refers to the value commonly used in the perfumery techniques and which is the lowest concentration at which significant detection of some odorous present material takes place. See for example "Compilation of Odor and Taste Theshold Valué Data" [Compilation of Odor and Flavor Threshold Values] (ASTM DS 48A), edited by F.A. Fazzalari, International Business Machines, Hopwell Junction, New York, and Calkin and others, "Perfumery, Practice and Principies", John Wiley & Sons, Inc. page 243 et seq. (1994). For the purposes 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 separation ratio, and the hydrocarbon response using a hydrocarbon standard of known concentration and chain length distribution. The air flow velocity is exactly measured, and the volume sampled is calculated assuming that the duration of a human inhalation is 0.02 minutes. As it is known the precise concentration in the detector at any point of time, we know the mass by volume inhaled and therefore the concentration of material. To determine the ODT of a perfume material, solutions are provided in the sniffing portal at the recalculated concentration. A panelist sniffs the effluent from the GC and identifies the retention time when he perceives the odor. The average of all the panelists determines the perception threshold. The necessary amount of analyte is injected into the column to reach a certain concentration in the detector, for example 10 ppb. The typical parameters of the gas chromatograph are then annotated to determine the odor detection thresholds.

Preferred amine-type reaction products are those that originate from the reaction of polyethyleneimine polymer as Lupasol polymers, with one or more of the following: Alpha-Damascone, Delta-Damascone, Carvona, Hedione, Florhidral, Lilial, Heliotropin, Gamma-Methyl-lonone and 2,4-dimethyl-3-cyclohexen-1-carboxaldehyde. Other preferred amine reaction products are those that originate from the reaction of Astramol dendrimers with carvone, as well as those that originate from the reaction of ethyl 4-aminobenzoate with 2,4-dimethyl-3-cyclohexen-1. -carboxaldehyde. The most preferred reaction products of amine are those of the reaction of Lupasol HF with delta-damascone; Lupasol G35 with alpha-damascone; Lupasol G100 with 2,4-dimethyl-3-cyclohexen-1 -carboxaldehyde, ethyl 4-amine-benzoate with 2,4-dimethyl-3-cyclohexen-1 -carboxaldehyde.

Procedure The preparation of the component is done as follows in the synthesis examples. In general, the nitrogen analogs of ketones and aldehydes are called azomethins, Schiff's bases or the preferred name of mines. These imines can be easily prepared by condensation of primary amines and carbonyl compounds by removal of water. A typical reaction profile is as follows: O OH I R "'R' H2N- R" R- C- NH- R "I R The ß-unsaturated ketones not only condense with amines to form imines, but they can also undergo an addition 1, 4 competitive to form ß-amino ketones.

By means of this simple method, a compound and composition containing said compound are made which achieve a delayed release of the active ingredient. As can be seen, the perfume ingredient is typically present in an equimolar amount to the amine function, in order to allow the reaction to take place and provide the resulting amine reaction product. Of course, a larger amount is not excluded, and it is even preferred when the amine compound comprises more than one amine function. When the amine compound has more than one primary and / or secondary amine group, several different perfume raw materials may be attached to the amine compound.

Release Mechanism By means of the present invention, a delayed release of a perfume ingredient, ie, ketone or aldehyde, is obtained. Without being limited by theory, it is believed that the release occurs by the following mechanisms: For the imine compounds, the perfume components are released upon the breakdown of the mine bond, leading to the release of the perfume component and the primary amine compound . This can be achieved by hydrolysis, photochemical dissociation, oxidative dissociation or enzymatic dissociation. For ß-amino ketone compounds, the treatment with the humidity of the air and / or the water, accurately releases the perfume component and the amine compound. However, other means of release such as hydrolysis, photochemical dissociation, oxidative dissociation or enzymatic dissociation are not excluded. Other release means can be considered for the imine and ß-amino ketone compounds, such as the vaporization step of the ironing of the treated fabric, drying in a dryer and / or use.

Application Compositions Application compositions of the present invention include compositions in which there is a need for delayed release of an active ketone or aldehyde. These include rinse-off compositions such as softener compositions, personal care compositions such as shower gels, deodorants, bars, shampoos.; independent compositions such as deodorant compositions, insecticidal compositions, etc. Preferred are those compositions that result in the compound of the invention coming into contact with the fabric. The compositions of the invention are suitable for use in any of the domestic treatment steps, ie as a composition for pre-treatment and / or post-treatment, as a washing additive, as a composition suitable for use in the rinse process. Of course, multiple applications can be made such as treating the fabric with a composition of the invention for pre-treatment and thereafter with the appropriate composition to be used in the rinsing process and / or in the drying process. With the phrase "compositions suitable for use in the rinsing process," it should be understood that this includes compositions such as fabric softening compositions that are added in the rinse and aggregate compositions in the dryer (eg, sheets) which provide smoothing benefits and / or antistatic, as well as additives for rinsing. Preferred are those compositions that result in the compound of the invention coming into contact with the fabric. It should be understood that these include compositions such as fabric softener compositions that are added in the rinse and aggregate compositions in the dryer (eg, sheets) which provide softening and / or antistatic benefits. Preferably, the amine reaction product (s) that are incorporated in said cleaning and laundry compositions, provide a dry surface Odor Index of more than 5, preferably at least 10. By Odor Index on Dry Surface it is understood that the amine reaction product or products provide a delta of more than 5, where delta is the difference between the Odor Index of the treated dry surface with the amine reaction product (s), and the Odor Index of the dry surface treated only with the perfume raw material.

Method of measuring the Odor Index on the dry surface for the surface of the cloth Preparation of the product: The reaction product of amine is added to the non-scented product base. The base of the non-perfumed product is as follows, wherein the abbreviations are as defined below in the present invention for the examples: The levels of the amine reaction product are selected in such a way as to obtain an odor grade on the dry cloth of at least 20. After mixing carefully stirring the container in case of being liquid, or with spatula in case of being powder , the product is left to rest for 24 hours.

Washing procedure: The resulting product is added to the washing machine at the dose and in the dispenser that are appropriate for its category. The quantity corresponds to the recommended doses made for the corresponding commercial products: typically between 70 and 150 g of a detergent powder or liquid by means of a common dosing device such as a granule or arielete, and between 25 and 40 ml for a liquid fabric softener. The load is composed of four bath towels (170 g) using a Miele W830 washing machine in short wash cycle at 40 ° C, water inlet: 15 ° hardness at a temperature of 10-18 ° C, and full rotation of 1200 rpm. The same procedure was applied for the corresponding free perfume ingredient under consideration, and was used as the reference. Dosages, clothing loads and wash cycles were identical for the reference and the sample.

Drying procedure: In the course of two hours after the end of the washing cycle, the odors of the fabrics were determined after the rotation drying cycle, but still wet, using the scale mentioned below. Subsequently, half of the pieces of cloth are hung on a rope for 24 hours for drying, away from possible contamination. Unless specified, this drying takes place indoors. The environmental conditions are at temperature between 18 and 25 ° C and air humidity between 50 and 80%. The other half is placed in a rotary dryer and subjected to a complete cycle of "very dry", that is, in a Miele Novotronic T430 placed in the dry-extra-white program (complete cycle). The fabrics dried in this dryer are also tested the next day. The fabrics are then stored in open aluminum bags, in a room free of odors, and tested again after 7 days.

Odor assessments: The smell is determined by expert panelists smelling the fabrics carefully. A scale of 0-100 is used for all fabric odor ratings. The rating scale is as follows: 100 = extremely strong perfume smell. 75 = perfume smell very strong. 50 = strong smell. 40 = moderate smell of perfume. 30 = light smell of perfume. 20 = weak smell of perfume. 10 = very weak smell of perfume. 0 = no smell.

A difference of more than 5 degrees after one day and / or 7 days between the reaction product of amine and the perfume raw material is statistically significant. A difference of 10 degrees or more after a day and / or 7 days, represents an inclined change. In other words, when a difference of more than 5 degrees, preferably at least 10, is observed between the amine reaction product and the perfume raw material, after 1 day or 7 days, or both, 1 day and 7 days, it can be concluded that the amine reaction product is suitable for use in the present invention, provided that the amine compound complies with the Odor Intensity index. The amine reaction product as defined above in the present invention is comprised from 0.0001% to 10%, preferably from 0.001% to 5%, and more preferred from 0.01% to 2% by weight of the composition. Mixtures of the compounds in the present invention can also be used. If necessary, the incorporation of the amine reaction product in the cleaning and laundry compositions can be conveniently carried out by the conventional means of incorporation., such as aspersion, encapsulation such as encapsulation with starch, for example as described in GB 1464616, dry addition, or by encapsulation in cyclodextrin. Preferably, the amine reaction product is preformed prior to incorporation into the compositiof the invention. In other words, the perfume component and the amine compound are first reacted to obtain the resulting amine reaction product as defined in the present invention, and only once it is formed, it is incorporated into the compositiof the invention . By being previously formed before incorporating it into the fully formulated composition, a better control of the compound being prepared is obtained. Therefore, interaction with the perfume composition that may be present in the fully formulated composition, and also any side reactithat may occur, is avoided. In addition, by means of such means of incorporation, an efficient control of the yield and purity of the compound is obtained. More preferably, when the composition of the invention comprises a perfume, the amine reaction product is incorporated into the composition separately from the perfume. By this, the amine reaction product and its subsequent release will be more controlled. Typically, the composition of the invention comprises ingredients that provide surfactant such as a fabric softening agent, or a surfactant such as those described below in the present invention as optional ingredients. When the compositicomprise a softening agent, the resulting composition is a softening composition.

Fabric softening agents A fabric softening component provides softness and antistatic properties to the treated fabrics. When used, the softening component will typically be present at a level sufficient to provide anti-aesthetic and softening properties. Said fabric softening component may be selected from a cationic, non-ionic, amphoteric or anionic fabric softening component.

The anion can also, but is less preferred, carry a double charge in which case X (_) represents half of a group. Sebum and canola oil are convenient and inexpensive sources of fatty acid acyl units which are suitable for use in the present invention as R units. The following examples are non-limiting examples of quaternary ammonium compounds suitable for use in the compositions of the present invention. The term "seboyl" as used later in the present invention indicates that unit R1 is obtained from a source of tallow triglycerides and is a mixture of alkyl or alkenyl units of fatty acid. Similarly, the use of the term canolyl refers to a mixture of alkyl or alkenyl units of fatty acid obtained from canola oil.

N, N-di (tallowyloxyethyl) -N, N-dimethylammonium chloride in which the tallow chains are at least partially unsaturated is particularly preferred. The level of unsaturation contained within tallow, canola or other acyl fatty acid chain can be measured by the corresponding iodine (IV) value of the fatty acid, which in the present case should preferably be in the range of 5 to 100, distinguishing two categories of compounds that have an IV of less than or more than 25. In fact, for compounds that have the formula: tallow fatty acid derivatives, when the Iodine Value is from 5 to 25, preferably 15 to 20, it has been found that a weight ratio of the cis / trans isomer of more than about 30/70, preferably more than about 50 / 50 and most preferably more than about 70/30, provides optimum concentration ability. For compounds of this type made from tallow fatty acids having an Iodine Value of more than 25, the ratio of cis to trans isomers has been found to be less critical, unless very high concentrations are required. Other suitable examples of fabric softening actives are derived from fatty acyl groups in which the terms "seboyl" and "canolyl" in the above examples are replaced by the terms "cocoyl, palmyl, lauryl, oleyl, ricinoleyl, stearyl, palmityl" , which correspond to the source of triglycerides from which the fatty acyl units are derived. These alternative fatty acyl sources can comprise unsaturated chains either completely saturated, or preferably at least partially saturated. As described hereinabove, the R units are preferably methyl, however, suitable fabric softening actives are described by replacing the term "methyl" in the above examples of Table I with the "ethyl, ethoxy, propyl, propoxy" units , isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl and t-butyl ". The counter on X in the examples of Table I can be suitably replaced by bromide, methylisulfate, formate, sulfate, nitrate and mixtures thereof. In fact, the X anion is present simply as a counter ion of the positively charged quaternary amino compounds. The scope of this invention is not considered limited to any particular anion.

When said dispersion capacity auxiliaries are present, the total level is from 2% to 25%, preferably from 3% to 17%, preferably from 4% to 15% and even more preferred from 5% to 13% by weight of the composition. These materials may be added as part of the raw material of the active softener, (I), for example, the individual long chain alkyl cationic surfactant and / or the fatty acid which are reactants used to form the biodegradable fabric softening active. as described above here, or are added as a separate component. The total dispersion capacity auxiliary level includes any quantity that may be present as part of the component (I). (1) Cationic monoalkyl quaternary ammonium compound When the monoalkyl quaternary ammonium cationic compound is present, it typically does so at a level of 2% to 25%, preferably 3% to 17%, most preferred 4% to 15% , and even more preferred of % to 13% by weight of the composition, the cationic monoalkyl quaternary ammonium compound being at least at an effective level. Said monoalkyl quaternary ammonium cationic compounds useful in the present invention are preferably the quaternary ammonium salts of the general formula: [R4N + (R5) 3] X "in which R4 is a C8-C22 alkyl or alkenyl group preferably alkyl or alkenyl group of C oC 8; most preferably an alkyl or alkenyl C10-C1 or Ci6-C 8;??? each R5 is an alkyl group of C - - C6 alkyl or substituted (for example, hydroxyalkyl), preferably an alkyl group of Cr C3, for example, methyl (more preferred), ethyl, propyl and the like, a benzyl group, hydrogen, a polyethoxylated chain with from 2 to 20 oxyethylene units, preferably from 2.5 up to 13 oxyethylene units, more preferred 3 to 10 oxyethylene units and mixtures thereof, and X "is as defined here above for formula (I).

The R4 group may also be attached to the cationic nitrogen atom by means of a group containing one, or more, ester, amide, ether, amine, etc., linking groups, which may be desirable for an increased concentration capacity of component (I), etc. Said linking groups are preferably within one to three carbon atoms of the nitrogen atom. The monoalkyl quaternary ammonium cationic compounds also include the C8-C22 alkylcholine esters. Preferred dispersion aids of this type have the formula: R1C (O) -O-CH2CH2N + (R) 3X "in which R1, R and X "are as previously defined. The dispersibility aids include highly preferred ester of C 2 cococolínico Cu and sebocolínico ester C- |? 6-C 8?. Suitable long chain biodegradable single chain alkyl dispersion auxiliaries containing an ester linkage in the long chains are described in the U.S.A. No. 4,840,738, said patent incorporated for reference.

When the dispersibility aid comprises alquilcolínicos esters, preferably the compositions also contain a small amount, preferably from 2% to 5% by weight of the composition, of organic acid. Organic acids are described in European Patent Application No. 404,471, which is incorporated in the present invention for reference. Preferably, the organic acid is selected from the group consisting of glycolic acid, acetic acid, citric acid and mixtures thereof. The ethoxylated quaternary ammonium compounds which can serve as the dispersion aids auxiliary include ethylbis (ethoxyethanol) alkylammonium ethiisulfate with 17 moles of ethylene oxide, available under the tradename Variquat®66 from Witco Corporation; polyethylene glycol (15) oleammonium chloride, available under the tradename Ethoquad® 0/25 from Akzo, and polyethylene glycol (15) cocoamonium chloride, available under the tradename Ethoquad® C / 25 from Akzo. Quaternary compounds having only a single long alkyl chain can protect the cationic softener from interacting with anionic surfactants and / or detergent builders that are carried to the rinse from the wash solution. (2) Nonionic Surfactant (Alkoxylated Materials) Suitable nonionic to serve as the viscosity modifier / dispersibility surfactants include addition products of ethylene oxide and, optionally, propylene oxide, with fatty alcohols, fatty acids, fatty amines, etc. They are mentioned in the present invention as ethoxylated fatty alcohols, ethoxylated fatty acids and ethoxylated fatty amines. Any of the alkoxylated materials of the particular type described in the present invention can be used as the nonionic surfactant. In general terms, the nonionic surfactants of the present invention, when used alone in liquid compositions, are at a level of from 0% to 5%, preferably from 0.1% to 5%, more preferably from 0.2% to 3%. %. Suitable compounds are substantially water-soluble surfactants of the general formula: R2-Y- (C2H4O) z-C2H4OH in which R2 for both liquid and solid compositions is selected from the group consisting of alkyl- and / or acyl- primary, secondary and branched chain hydrocarbons; primary, secondary and branched alkenylhydrocarbyl groups; and primary and secondary branched-chain alkyl- and alkenyl-substituted phenolic hydrocarbyl groups; said hydrocarbyl groups have a hydrocarbyl chain length of 8 to 20, preferably 10 to 18 carbon atoms. Most preferably, the hydrocarbyl chain length for liquid compositions is from 16 to 18 carbon atoms, and for solid compositions it is from 10 to 14 carbon atoms. In the general formula for the ethoxylated nonionic surfactants of the present invention, Y is typically -O-, -C (0) O-, -C (0) N (R) -, or -C (0) N ( R) R-, preferably -O-, and in which R2, and R, when present, have the meanings given above in the present invention, and / or R can be hydrogen, and z is at least 8, preference at least 10-11. The yield and, normally, the stability of the softening composition decrease when less ethoxylate groups are present. The nonionic surfactants of the present invention are characterized by a HLB (hydrophilic-lipophilic balance) of 7 to 20, preferably from 8 to 15. Of course, by defining R2 and the number of ethoxylate groups, the HLB of the surfactant is, in general, determined. However, it should be noted that the ethoxylated nonionic surfactants useful in the present invention, for concentrated liquid compositions, contain relatively long chain R2 groups and are relatively highly ethoxylated. Although shorter alkyl chain surfactants having short ethoxylated groups may possess the necessary HLB, they are not as effective in the present invention. For compositions with higher levels of perfume, nonionic surfactants such as viscosity modifiers / dispersing ability over the other modifiers described in the present invention are preferred. Examples of nonionic surfactants follow. The nonionic surfactants of this invention are not limited to these examples. In the examples, the integer defines the number of ethoxy groups (EO) in the molecule. (3) Amine oxides Suitable amine oxides include those with an alkyl or hydroxyalkyl portion of 8 to 22 carbon atoms, preferably 10 to 18 carbon atoms, more preferred of 8 to 14 carbon atoms, and two portions alkyl selected from the group consisting of alkyl groups and hydroxyalkyl groups with 1 to 3 carbon atoms. Examples include dimethyloctylamine oxide, diethyldecylamine oxide, bis- (2-hydroxyethyl) dodecylamine oxide, dimethyldodecylamine oxide, dipropyltetradecylamine oxide, methylethylhexadecylamine oxide, dimethyl-2-hydroxyoctadecylamine oxide, and coconut fatty acid alkyldimethylamine oxide. .

(C) Stabilizers Stabilizers may be present in the compositions of the present invention. The term "stabilizer", as used in the present invention, includes antioxidants and reducing agents. These agents are present at a level of from 0% to 2%, preferably from 0.01% to 0.2%, more preferred from 0.035% to 0.1% for antioxidants, and most preferably from 0.01% to 0.2% for reducing agents. These ensure adequate odor stability under long-term storage conditions. Antioxidant and reducing agent stabilizers are especially critical for unscented or low-aroma products (with or without low perfume). Examples of antioxidants that can be added to the compositions of this invention include a mixture of ascorbic acid, ascorbic palmitate and propylgalate, available from Eastman Chemical Products, Inc., under the trade names Tenox® PG and Tenox® S-1; a mixture of BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene), BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole), propylgalate and citric acid, available from Eastman Chemical Products, Inc., under the trade name Tenox®-6; butylated hydroxytoluene, available from UOP Process Division under the trade name Sustane® BTH; tertiary butylhydroquinone, Eastman Chemical Products, Inc., as Tenox® TBHQ; natural tocopherols, Eastman Chemical Products, Inc., as Tenox® GT-1 / GT-2; and butylated hydroxyanisole, Eastman Chemical Products, Inc., as BHA; long chain esters (C8-C22) of gallic acid, for example, dodecylgalate; Irganox® 1010; Irganox® 1030; Irganox® B 1171; Irganox® 1425; Irganox® 3114; Irganox® 3125 and mixtures thereof; preferably Irganox® 3125; Irganox® 1425, Irganox® 3114 and mixtures thereof; most preferred Irganox® 3125 alone or mixed with citric acid and / or other chelating agents such as isopropyl citrate, Dequest® 2010, available from Monsanto with a chemical name of 1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid (etridronic acid) and Tiran ®, available from Kodak with a chemical name of 4,5-dihydroxy-m-benzenesulfonic acid / sodium salt and DTPA®, available from Aldrich with a chemical name of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid.

(D) Soil releasing agent In the present invention, an optional soil release agent can be added. Typical levels of incorporation into the composition are from 0% to 10%, preferably from 0.2% to 5% of a soil release agent. Preferably, said soil release agent is a polymer. The soil release agents are conveniently used in fabric softening compositions of the present invention. Any polymeric soil release agent known to the person skilled in the art can be optionally employed in the compositions of this invention. Polymeric soil release agents are characterized by having both hydrophilic segments, to render the surface of hydrophobic fibers such as polyester and nylon hydrophobic, as hydrophobic segments to deposit on the hydrophobic fibers and remain adhered to them until the washing and rinsing cycles are completed, thus serving as an anchor for the hydrophilic segments. This can make stains that appear after treatment with the soil release agent easier to clean in subsequent cleaning procedures. If they are used, the soil release agents will generally comprise from about 0.01% to about 10.0% by weight of the detergent compositions of the present invention, typically from about 0.1% to 5%, preferably from about 0.2% to about 3.0%.

Commercially available soil release agents include METOLOSE SM100, METOLOSE SM200, manufactured by Shin-etsu-Kagaku Kogyo KK, SOKOLAN material, for example SOKOLAN HP-22, available from BASF (Germany), ZELCON 5126 (from Dupont) and MILEASE T (from ICI).

(E) Cream Dispersant In the present invention, the premix can be combined with an optional cream dispersant, different from the soil release agent, and can be heated to the temperature of the melting points of the components, or higher. Preferred cream dispersants in the present invention are formed by highly ethoxylated hydrophobic materials. The hydrophobic material may be a fatty alcohol, fatty acid, fatty amine, fatty acid amide, amine oxide, quaternary ammonium compound, or the hydrophobic portions used to form soil release polymers. Preferred cream dispersants are highly ethoxylated, for example, with more than 17, preferably more than 25, preferably more than 40 moles of ethylene oxide per molecule, on average; the polyethylene oxide portion being from 76% to 97%, preferably from 81% to 94% of the total molecular weight. The level of the cream dispersant is sufficient to maintain the cream at an acceptable, preferably imperceptible, level for the consumer under the conditions of use, but not enough to adversely affect the softening. For some purposes, it is convenient that cream does not exist. Depending on the amount of anionic or non-ionic detergent, etc., used in the wash cycle of a typical laundry process, the efficiency of the rinse steps before the introduction of the compositions of the present invention, and the hardness of water, the amount of anionic or nonionic detergent surfactant and builder (especially phosphates and zeolites) trapped in the (laundry) fabric will vary. Normally, the minimum amount of the cream dispersant should be used to avoid adversely affecting the softening properties. Typically, the cream dispersion requires at least 2%, preferably at least 4% (at least 6% and preferably at least 10% for maximum cream removal) based on the level of active softening agent. However, at levels of 10% (with respect to the softening material) or more, there is a risk of losing softening efficacy of the product, especially when the fabrics contain high proportions of nonionic surfactant that has been absorbed during the washing operation. . Preferred cream dispersants are: Brij 700R; Varonic U-250R; Genapol T-500R, Genapol T-800R, Plurafac A-79R and Neodol 25-50R.

The fabric softening compositions of the present invention provide improved deposition of perfume on the fabrics.

(H) Chelating agents The compositions and methods of the present invention may optionally employ one or more copper and / or nickel chelating agents ("chelators"). Said water-soluble chelating agents can be selected from the group consisting of aminocarboxylates, aminophosphonates, polyfunctionally substituted aromatic chelating agents and mixtures thereof, as defined hereinafter. The whiteness and / or brightness of the fabrics is substantially improved or restored by said chelating agents, and improve the stability of the materials in the compositions.

Preferably, these aminophosphonates do not contain alkyl or alkenyl groups with more than about 6 carbon atoms. Polyfunctionally substituted aromatic chelating agents are also useful in the compositions of the present invention.

By "organodiphosphonic acid" is meant in the present invention an organodiphosphonic acid which does not contain nitrogen as part of its chemical structure. This definition therefore excludes organo-aminophosphonates, which however can be included in the compositions of the invention as heavy metal ion sequestering components. The organodiphosphonic acid is preferably a diphosphonic acid of C -? - C4, more preferred is a diphosphonic acid of C2, such as ethylene diphosphonic acid, or more preferred still ethane-1-hydroxy-1,1-diphosphonic acid (HEDP) and may be present in partially or completely ionized form, particularly as a salt or complex. Even useful as a crystal growth inhibitor in the present invention are organic monophosphonic acids. The organomonophosphonic acid or one of its salts or complexes are also suitable for use as a CGI. Organomonophosphonic acid refers in the present invention to an organomonophosphonic acid that does not contain nitrogen as part of its chemical structure. As a consequence, this definition excludes organo-aminophosphonates, which, however, can be included in compositions of the invention as heavy metal ion sequestrants. The organomonophosphonic acid component can be present in its acid form or in the form of one of its salts or complexes with a suitable counter cation. Preferably, any of the salts / complexes is soluble in water, the salts / complexes of alkali metal and alkaline earth metal being especially preferred. A preferred organomonophosphonic acid is 2-phosphonobutane-1, 2,4-tricarboxylic acid commercially available from Bayer under the trade name of Bayhibit.

(J) Enzymes The compositions and methods herein may optionally employ one or more enzymes such as lipases, proteases, cellulase, amylases and peroxidases.

Other suitable cellulases are also described in WO 91/17243 to Novo, WO 96/34092, WO 96/34945 and EP-A-0,739,982. In practical terms for current commercial preparations, typical amounts are 5 mg by weight, most preferably 0.01 mg to 3 mg, of active enzyme per gram of the detergent composition. In other words, the compositions of the present invention will typically comprise from 0.001% to 5%, preferably from 0.01% to 1% by weight of a commercial enzyme preparation. In particular cases in which the activity of the enzyme preparation can be defined in another way such as with cellulases, the corresponding activity units are preferred (eg, CEVU or Cellulase Equivalent Viscosity Units). For example, the compositions of the present invention may contain cellulase enzyme at a level equivalent to an activity of 0.5 to 1000 CEVU / gram of composition. The cellulase enzyme preparations which are used for the purpose of formulating the compositions of this invention typically have an activity between 1,000 and 10,000 CEVU / gram in liquid form, and about 1, 000 CEVU / gram in solid form.

I. Synthesis of ethyl 4-aminobenzoate with 2,4-dimethyl-3-cyclohexen-1-carboxaldehyde To a stirred and ice-cooled solution of 10 g of 2,4-dimethyl-3-cyclohexen-1-carboxaldehyde (0.07 mol) in 35 ml of EtOH and molecular sieves (4?, 20 g), 1 eq. . of the amine by means of an addition funnel. The reaction mixture was stirred under a nitrogen atmosphere and protected from light. After 6 days, the mixture was filtered and the solvent was removed. The yield of imine formation was approximately 90%. Similar results were obtained when 2,4-dimethyl-3-cyclohexen-1 -carboxaldehyde was replaced with bourgeonal, or trans-2-nonenal. Additionally, similar results were obtained when ethyl 4-aminobenzoate was replaced with 4-aminobenzoic acid.

II. Synthesis of D-glucamine with 2,4-dimethyl-3-cyclohexen-1-carboxaldehyde To an ice-cooled solution of 1 mmol of D-glucamine in about 30 mL of EtOH and molecular sieves (4 A, 5 g), 1 eq. of 2,4-dimethyl-3-cyclohexen-1 -carboxaldehyde. The reaction was stirred under a nitrogen atmosphere and protected from light. After 3 to 4 days, the molecular sieves and the solvent were removed by filtration and evaporation, respectively. The solid mine was obtained in 85 to 90% yield. Similar results were obtained when 2,4-dimethyl-3-cyclohexen-1-carboxaldehyde was replaced with citronellal, trans-2-nonenal or decanal.

Ill Synthesis of Lupasol with Damascona The ß-amino ketone was prepared from Lupasol G100 (commercially available from BASF, contained 50% water, 50% Lupasol G100, MW 5000) and a-damascone, using any of these three different procedures described below: 1. Dried Lupasol G100 commercially available, using the following procedure: 20 g of the Lupasol solution was dried on the rotary evaporator for several hours. The residue obtained, still containing 4.5 g of H 2 O, was azeotropically distilled in the rotary evaporator using toluene. The residue was then placed in the desiccator and dried at 60 ° C (using P205 as water absorbing material). Based on the weight obtained, the authors concluded that the oil contained less than 10% H2O. Based on the NMR spectrum they concluded that this is probably less than 5%. This dry mixture was then used in the preparation of β-amino ketones. 1.38 g of the dried Lupasol G100 was dissolved in 7 ml of ethanol. The solution was stirred gently with a magnetic stirrer for a few minutes before adding 2 g of Na2SO (anhydrous). After stirring again for a few minutes, 2.21 g of a-damascone was added over a period of 1 minute. After two days of reaction, the mixture was filtered on a Celite filter (see above), and the residue was washed thoroughly with ethanol. Approximately 180 ml of a clear foaming filtrate were obtained. This was concentrated to dryness using a rotary evaporator, and dried over P2Os in a desiccator at room temperature. Approximately 3.5 of a colorless oil was obtained. 2. 4.3 g of Lupasol G100 (without drying) was dissolved in 10 ml of ethanol. The solution was stirred with a magnetic stirrer for a few minutes before adding 3.47 g of a-damascone over a period of 1.5 minutes. After 2 days of reaction at room temperature, the reaction mixture was filtered over Celite (see above) and the residue was washed thoroughly with ethanol. The filtrate (200 ml, light foam formation) was concentrated in the evaporator and dried in a desiccator (P2O5 as drying agent) at room temperature. Approximately 5.9 g of a colorless oil was obtained. 3. To 3.0 g of Lupasol G100 solution (used as such), 2.41 g of a-damascone was added. The mixture was stirred without using solvent. After stirring for 4 days, the obtained oil was dissolved in 100 ml of THF, dried with MgSO 4, filtered and the filtrate was concentrated on the rotary evaporator. After drying in the desiccator (P205) at room temperature, approximately 4.1 g of a colorless oil was obtained. This oil still contained approximately 13% (w / w) THF, even after prolonged drying (3 days).

The product obtained from the three procedures had identical NMR spectra. The ß-amino ketone was prepared from Lupasol P and a-damascone using the procedure described below: 1.8 g of Lupasol P solution was dissolved (50% H20, 50% Lupasol PM 750000, obtained from BASF) in 7 ml of ethanol; the solution was stirred for a few minutes with a magnetic stirrer before adding 1.44 g of a-Damascona. After 3 days, the reaction mixture was filtered on a Celite filter (see above) and the residue was washed thoroughly with ethanol. After concentrating the filtrate and drying the oil obtained in the desiccator (P2O5) at room temperature, approximately 3 g of the reaction product between Lupasol and a-Damascona were obtained. In the following formulation examples, all levels are noted as% by weight of the composition, unless otherwise mentioned, and the incorporation of the amine reaction product hereinafter referred to as "ARP" in the composition completely formulated, is carried out by dry addition (d), encapsulation in starch (s), as described in GB-1, 464,616 or cyclodextrin (ec) or as in the composition as defined herein above.
