2 Claims, No Drawings DERIVATIVES F BIS-PERFLUOROALKANOYL PHENYLENE-DIAMINES The present invention relates to derivatives of bisperfluoroalkanoyl-phenylene-diamines, more particularly to such of these derivatives which contain an active group in the form of an isocyanate, N,N-ethyleneureidoor N,N-ethylene-amido group at the benzene in which R and R' which may be identical or different, represent a perfluorinated alkyl group having four to 12 carbon atoms and R, represents one of the groups For the application of the compounds of the invention in the production of oil-, waterand soil-repellent finishes, not only the perfluorinated alkyl groups but also the content of isocyanate, N,N-ethylene-ureido or N,N-ethylene-amid0 groups as reactive groups is of importance.

In the preparation of the compounds of the invention, it is suitable to start from derivatives of phenylene-diamine, on the one hand, and from fluorinated carboxylic acids, on the other.

Particularly suitable starting materials are derivatives of m-phenylene-diamine or, preferably, of o-phenylene-diarnine, for example 3,4- or 3,5-diamino-1- nitrobenzene, 3,5- or 3,4-diamino-l-benzoic acid and 3,4- or 3,5-diarnino-benzoic acid methyl ester.

Suitable fluorinated carboxylic acids are compounds of the general formula R COOl-I, in which R represents a perfluorinated alkyl group having four to 12, preferably seven to carbon atoms. As perfluoroalkanoic acids, there may be mentioned by way of example: perfluoro-pentanoic acid, (C F COOH), perfluoro-hexanoic acid (C F COOH), perfluoro-heptanoic acid (C F COOH), perfluoro-octanoic acid (C F, cooh., perfluoro-nonanic acid (C F CO OH), Perfluoro-decanoic acid (C F COOH) or perfluoro-undecanoic acid (C F COOH). For the synthesis, mixtures of the above-mentioned fluorinated carboxylic acids may also be used. With a view to the utilization of the compounds of the invention for the production of oil-, waterand soiLrepellent finishes, perfluoroalkanoic acids containing eight to 11 carbon atoms are preferably used.

The first step in the synthesis of the products of the invention is, preferably, the reaction of the above-mentioned derivatives of mor o-phenylene-diamine with an acid halide, preferably an acid chloride, of the mentioned perfluoro-alkanoic acids. The acid chlorides of the perfluoro-alkanoic acids are obtained in known manner with excellent yields from the respective fluorinated carboxylic acid by reaction with suitable chlorinating agents, for example benzo-tri-chloride. The acylation of the derivatives of 0- or m-phenylene diarnine may be effected either in the presence of a solvent, for example ethyl acetate or chloroform, and of a base, for example dimethylaniline, at temperatures in the range of from about 10 to 50C, or by melting of the starting materials without additives at about to C. The intermediate products thus obtained which, if derivative of o-phenylene-diamine are used, correspond to the formulas (II), (III) and (IV) r moonp r moony utroom ONHCORF @NHCORF NHCORF l N0; 0 OOH 000cm 11 (III) IV can be easily prepared and with good yield by reduction, preferably by hydrogenation under pressure with the use of a catalyst, for example Raney nickel, in the presence of a solvent such as ethanol or ethyl acetate. Hy reaction of the hydrochlorides of these amines (V) with phosgene in an inert solvent, for example benzene, toluene, ethyl acetate, dioxane or chlorobenzene, at an elevated temperature, suitably at about 60 to 120C, the compounds of the invention containing one isocyanate group and corresponding to the formula (VI) NHCORF can be obtained. In a still easier manner and with higher yields, the isocyanates of the formula (VI) can also be prepared by base phosgenisation. In this method, the amine of the formula (V) is introduced at a low temperature, suitably at a temperature in the: range of from about 0 to 20C into a solution of phosgene in an inert solvent and the mixture is slowly heated to a temperature in the range of from 60 to 120C. AFter cooling of the reaction mixture, the crystallized isocyanate can be separated.

By further reacting these compounds which contain one isocyanate group with ethylene imine in a solvent such as ethyl acetate or tetrahydrofurane, suitably at a temperature in the range of from about to 40C, there can be obtained the compounds of the invention which contain one ethylene-urea group and correspond to the formula (VII) ITIIIOORF NIICUR'F CH1 (VII) Such compounds of the invention which contain one N,N-ethylene-amino group can be obtained by preparing,from the bis-acyl-diamindbenzoic acids that correspond to the formula (III) or from bis-acyl-diaminobenzoic acid-methyl esters that correspond to the formula (IV), at first the acid chlorides which, if o-phenylene-diamine is used, correspond to the formula (VIII) ITIHQORF 1 C001 (VIII) For this purpose, the bis-acyl-diaminobenzoic acid methyl esters are previously converted into the free benzoic acids by partial hydrolysis under saponification of the ester group, for example with a mixture of water and acetic acid. The bis-acyl-diamino-benzoic acids can be converted in known manner by reaction with, for example thionyl chloride, into the acid chlorides of the formula (I). From these acid chlorides, there are obtained by further reaction with ethylene imine in the presence of a strong base, for example triethylamine, the compounds of the invention which contain an ethylene-amide group and which, if o-phenylenediamine was used as the starting substance, correspond to the formula (IX) NHCORF CH2 (I The above-described methods for preparing the compounds of the invention are illustrated by the following examples 1 to 6, the percentages being by weight.

The compounds of the present invention permit the production of oil-, waterand soil-repellent finishes which are resistant to washing and to dry cleaning. Substrates onto which these compounds can be applied are natural and synthetic fibers and filaments and any goods prepared therefrom, furthermore leather, paper and similar substances. The oil-, waterand soil-repellent finishes are produced by applying the compounds in the form of aqueous emulsions, sprays or as solutions in organic solvents such as alcohol, chloroform, tetrahydrofurane or, preferably, acetone, onto the substrate to be provided with the finish and removing the solvent, dispersant or propellant by drying. It is of ad vantage to subject the goods subsequently to a heat treatment, preferably at temperatures of more than C.

For the impregnation of textile materials, preferably those compounds of the invention are used which contain an isocyanate group or an ethylene imide group as the active group. The treatment of the textile materials with these compounds not only imparts onto them oiland water-repellent properties, but makes them also insensitive towards oily and aqueous soiling. For example, soilings produced by coffee, wine, sauces and oils on textile materials that are provided with the finish according to the invention can be completely removed by dabbing off with a small piece of cloth. Dirt which has been rubbed into the fabric is completely removed by a treatment with a suitable solvent, for example one of the solvents usually employed in dry cleaning, because the finish produced with the compounds of the invention reduces the capillary action of the textiles to such an extent that the undesired edge formation, which takes place with textile materials that are not provided with a finish, does not occur. The finishes produced according to the invention show a very good resistance to dry cleaning and to washing, especially if they have been subjected for about 1 to 20 minutes to a heat treatment at elevated temperatures, for example to temperatures in the range of from 120 to 170C.

EXAMPLE 7 Table 1 gives examples of the good oil-repellent effects of fabrics that had been treated with the compounds of the present invention. For producing the finishes, specimens of cotton poplin were impregnated with each time 1.0, 0.5, 0.25 and 0.1 percent by weight solutions in acetone of the compounds obtained according to examples 1 (d), 2 and 5 (d), and padded with a squeezing efiect of 100 percent weight increase. The specimens were then dried for 10 minutes at 1 10C and heated for 5 minutes to C. The finishes produced on the fabric were thus 1,0, 0.5 0.25 and 0.1 percent by weight.

The oil-repellent properties of the specimens finished were evaluated according to the test method described in the Textile Research Journal, Vol. 32,

(1962), pp. 320 to 331. In this test, the resistance ofa fabric to wetting by oils is measured. Parafiin oil DAB 6 and mixtures of paraffin oil with n-heptane are used as test oils. The admixture of n-heptane to the paraffin oil increases the wetting effect of the oil mixture. The different test oil mixtures are applied in the form of a drop onto the fabric to be tested and allowed to act on it for 3 minutes. Then, the specimen is given that oil-repellent value which corresponds to the test oil mixture which still does not wet the fabric. The oil-repellent value of the fabric to be tested is the higher the larger the proportion of n-heptane in the test oil mixture which just still does not yet wet.

The values of the oil-repellent effect (resistance to wetting) are the sum of 50 and the proportion, in percent by volume, of n-heptane in the text mixture, according to the following evaluation key:

The oil repellent properties of the fabrics so provided with a finish were then evaluated with the aid of the test method described in example 7, first directly after treatment, then after having subjected the fabrics to washing once, and then twice, and once to dry clean-- ing. The results are shown in table 2.

Furthermore, the water-repellent properties of the fabric specimens so finished were tested in accordance with the Spray-test according to AATCC 22-1952. Values of 100 were obtained in all cases.

' l 0 The washing of the specimens was efiected for 20 minutes at 60C with 2 g of detergent per liter of water and a goods to liquor ratio of 1:30 in a laboratory washing machine (Linitest apparatus).

The dry cleaning was effected with the aid of carbon tetrachloride for 15 minutes at room temperature.

A. cotton poplin and of B. a mixed fabric of 50 parts of polyethylene glycol terephthalate and 50 parts of cotton,

were treated uniformly with a spray containing 40 percent of a mixture of 10 parts by weight of fluorotn'chloromethane and 90 parts by weight of difluoro-dichloromethane as propellant and 40 parts by weight of a solution of 0.5 part by weight of the compound obtained according to example 5 (d), 39.5 parts by weight of acetone and 60.0 parts by weight of 1,1 ,1- trichloroethane.
