Definitions

  • the present invention is concerned with the field of synthetic detergents and more particularly with novel 2- hydrocarbyl butanediol disulfates suitable as biodegradable and phosphate-free detergent compositions.
  • the present invention provides novel, biodegradable detergent compositions which exhibit high detergency and soil removal ability in the absence of phosphate builders.
  • Novel phosphate-free detergent compositions comprise a mixture of Z-hydrocarbyl-1,4-butanediol disulfa-tes of the formula wherein X is hydrogen or a water-soluble, salt-forming cation and R is a hydrocarbyl radical containing from 14 to 36 carbon atoms; and non-phosphate builders and additives.
  • R above may be represented by the formula wherein R and R are hydrogen or saturated or unsaturated, straight-chain or branched-chain hydrocarbyl radicals containing from to 35 carbon atoms.
  • the hydrocarbyl radical R is a saturated or unsaturated straight-chain group containing from 14 to 24 carbon atoms. More preferably, R is saturated and contains at least 18 carbon atoms.
  • hydrocarbyl butanediol disulfates as described within the scope of the present invention may be prepared by the reduction of alkenyl succinic anhydrides to produce either alkenyl or alkyl diols and subsequent sulfation of the diols.
  • the alkenyl succinic anhydrides may be produced by the familiar condensation of maleic anhydride with an olefin.
  • alkenyl succinic anhydride may be reacted with an alcohol to produce the diester and then reduced to the alkyl butanediol.
  • unsaturated portions in the alkenyl chain may be preserved.
  • novel 2-hydrocarbyl-1,4-butanediol disulfates of the present invention may be prepared by sulfating 2- hydrocarbyl-l,4-butanediols where the hydrocarbyl radical may be alkyl or alkenyl selected from, but not limited to the following: tridecyl, tetradecyl, pentadecyl, hexadecyl, heptadecyl, octadecyl, nonadecyl, eicosyl, heneicosy], docosyl, tricosyl, tetracosyl, pentacosyl, hexacosyl, heptacosyl, octacosyl, nonacosyl, triacontyl, hentriacontyl, dotriacontyl, tritriacontyl, tetratriacontyl, pentatriacontyl, hexa
  • the diols may be converted to disulfates by sulfation with chlorosulfonic acid, S0 oleum and other known sulfating agents.
  • the sulfated product may be neutralized with aqueous basic solutions containing compounds such as hydroxides, carbonates, and oxides of the alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, ammonium and other water-soluble salt-forming cationic agents.
  • EXAMPLE 1 Preparation of alkenyl succinic anhydride A mixture of 405 g. (1.5 moles) of internal olefins having from 18 to 20 carbon atoms and an average molecular weight of 270 was stirred slowly with 49 g. (0.5 mole) of maleic anhydride in a 1-liter, 3-necked, round bottom flask equipped with an explosion-proof stirrer, a drying tube condenser, and dropping funnel and continuously flushed with nitrogen. The reaction was continued for about 7 hours at a gradually increasing temperature starting at C. and stopping at 212 C. At the end of this time, infrared analysis showed less than 1.0% of maleic anhydride remaining. The mixture was transferred to a distillation flask.
  • the reaction mixture was cooled in ice and 500 ml. of 10% hydrochloric acid carefully added.
  • the mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel containing 2500 ml. of water and 500 ml. of diethyl ether. After shaking and separation of layers, the aqueous phase was extracted with 500 ml. of ether.
  • the combined ether extracts were washed with 500 ml. portions of water, saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, and water. The solution was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and the solvent removed.
  • the residue 110 g., 60% yield
  • the infrared spectrum showed adsorbance at 965 cm.- indicating the presence of a double bond.
  • alkyl succinic anhydrides are available commercially or may be obtained by the mild, controlled catalytic hydrogen of the corersponding alkenyl succinic anhydride with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst such as platinum or nickel.
  • the whole reaction mixture was then transferred to a dropping funnel.
  • the flask was charged with 6.4 g. of sodium hydroxide dissolved in a mixture of ml. of Water and 75 ml. of ethanol and cooled to 510C.
  • the acid solution was then added dropwise, keeping the temperature below 10 C.
  • pH was adjusted to 89 with dilute sodium hydroxide.
  • Sodium bicarbonate (0.2 g.) and ethanol (100 ml.) were added, and the mixture was heated to remove methylene chloride. Temperature was maintained at C. for 0.75 hour. Precipitated salt was removed by hot suction filtration. The filtrate was cooled and 100 ml. of water added. De-oiling was accomplished by extraction with four 75 ml.
  • Detergency of the compounds of the present invention has been measured by their ability to remove natural soil from cotton cloth.
  • small swatches of cloth, soiled by rubbing over face and neck are washed with test solutions of detergents in a mini-washer, and the refiectances of the various cloths measured and compared. The results obtained are expressed as a detergent index value.
  • the detergent index value is obtained by comparing and correlating the reflectance value results from the test solution with the results from two defined standard solutions.
  • the two standard solutions are selected to represent a detergent formulation exhibiting relatively high detersive characteristics and a formulation exhibiting relatively low detersive characteristics.
  • the two standard solutions were prepared from the following detergent formulation:
  • test solutions consisted of the 2-hydrocarbyl-1,4- butanediol disulfates prepared as in Example 5 and formulated with other ingredients to give the following phosphate-free formulation:
  • One of the four glass vessels was charged with the 50 p.p.m. water test solution, another with the 180 p.p.m. water test solution, another with the high standard, and the last one with the low standard.
  • the glass vessels were stoppered, placed in a constant temperature bath at F., and agitated at 900 cycles/ minute for 10 minutes. At the end of this time, the swatches were removed from the glass vessels and were hand-squeezed dry. They were rinsed three times for one minute each time in Water of the same hardness as was used in the wash cycle. The excess water was squeezed out, and then the swatches were placed on a paper towel to dry.
  • LAS detergent formulation was measured by the detergency index rating.
  • the formulation was as follows:
  • the compatible ingredients other than water may be employed in amounts ranging from 60 to 900 parts and, preferably, from 70 to 250 parts by weight per 100 parts of hydrocarbyl butanediol disulfate utilized.
  • the detergent compositions may comprise from 0 to 700 parts by weight of water per 100 parts of butanediol disulfate employed.
  • the lower range of water concentration is used for compounding particulate formulations which may contain 15 parts of water per .100 parts of the butanediol disulfate.
  • the upper range of water concentrations are used to prepare liquid formulations. For this use, 100 to 400 parts of water per 100 parts of butanediol disulfate are preferred.
  • a phosphate-free detergent composition consisting essentially of a mixture of (1) as an active ingredient, a compound of the formula:
  • X is hydrogen or a water-soluble, alkali metal, alkaline earth metal and ammonium cation and R is an alkyl or alkenyl radical containing from 14 to 36 carbon atoms and represented by the formula:
  • R2(])H s wherein R and R are hydrogen or an alkyl or alkenyl TABLE L-ANALYSIS AND DETERGENCY PERFORMANCE OF DISODIUM 2-HYDROCAR- B YL-1,4-B UTANEDIOL DISULFATES Detergency index Disodium disulfate sulfur analysis p.p.m. 180 p.p.m.
  • EXAMPLE 18 A 2-alkyl-1,4-butanediol disulfate was prepared by previously described procedures from a mixture of C and C l-olefins obtained by the ethylene growth reaction. A detergency evaluation in 50 p.p.m. hard water showed this material to be about equivalent to the docosyl derivative in removing natural soil from cloth in the absence of phosphate builders.
  • Additional compatible ingredients may be incorporated into the detergent compositions prepared in accordance with the present invention to enhance their detergent properties.
  • Such ingredients may include, but are not limited to, anti-corrosion, anti-redeposition, bleaching and sequestering agents, optical whiteners and certain organic and inorganic alkali and alkaline earth salts other than phosphate, such as inorganic sulfates, carbonates or borates and the organic salts of the amino polycarboxylic acids; e.g., trisodium salt of nitrilo acetic acid, tetrasodium salt of ethylenediaminetetracetic acid, etc.
  • the preferred compatible ingredient is sodium sulfate.
