Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A quaternary ammonium salt containing an ester linkage in the cationic moiety is prepared by reacting an epihalohydrin with a salt of an alkyl or alkenyl tertiary amine and a carboxylic acid.
  • a conventional method of preparing quaternary ammonium salts comprises reacting an alkyl amine with an alkyl halide. Re cently, methods using an epihalohydrin are adopted sometimes. The most typical method using an epihalohydrin comprises reacting an epihalohydrin directly with a tertiary amine. However, in this method it is difficult to prepare quaternary ammonium salts having a complicated structure. It is especially difficult to introduce a reactive group into the cationic moiety.
  • This invention is based on the discovery of a process for preparing quaternary ammonium salts having a reactive ester group in the cationic moiety, which are useful as textile-treating agents.
  • the products obtained by the process of this invention are useful as textilesoftening agents having an antistatic property, or as level-dycing or dyeing-retarding agents of the decomposition type.
  • this invention is to provide a process for the preparation of quaternary ammonium salts having an ester linkage in the cationic moiety, characterized by reacting an epihalohydrin with a salt of an alkyl or alkenyl tertiary amine and a carboxylic acid.
  • the salt of an alkyl tertiary amine and a carboxylic acid may be prepared in an ordinary solvent such as benzene and lower aliphatic alcohols by a customary method.
  • the kind ofthe epihalohydrin is appropriately chosen depending on whether the intended quaternary ammonium salt is a chloride or bromide.
  • Quaternary ammonium salts to be obtained by the process of the present invention are represented by a chemical formula as follows:
  • R is an alkyl, alkenyl or cycloalkyl radical of from 1 to 17 carbon atoms; in which N is a quaternary nitrogen atom; in which X is halogen, such as chlorine, bromine and fluorine; and in which each of R,, R and R is an alkyl or alkenyl radical having 1 to 18 carbon atoms.
  • alkyl or alkenyl tertiary amines which may be quaternized in the practice ofthe present invention are as follows:
  • Epihalohydrin for example, epichlorohydrin or epibromohydrin.
  • carboxylic acids which may be used in the practice of the present invention are as follows:
  • Our process involves the preparation of a salt of an alkyl or alkenyl tertiary amine and a carboxylic acid by neutralizing the carboxylic acid with the amine in substantially stoichiometric amounts. Then, the salt is re acted with epihalohydrin.
  • the reaction may be carried out at any suitable temperature and pressure, temperatures between 50C and C and pressures at or near atmospheric being suitable. Conveniently, the reaction is carried out in the presence of a solvent such as benzene and a lower aliphatic alcohol, for example, methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, pentanol, etc.
  • the temperature of the reaction may be very conveniently controlled by conducting the reaction under reflux conditions. We have found that the use of benzene is highly satisfactory.
  • Epihalohydrin can be used in a substantially stoichiometric amount, but it may be preferably employed in a slight excess, for example, 20 percent excess over its stoichiometric amount.
  • the solvent employed is first distilled off. Purification is largely by way of removal of small quantities of unreacted reactants by any suitable means such as extraction with a suitable solvent, for example, diethyl ether and/or recrystallization from a suitable solvent, for example, acetone and diethyl ether.
  • a suitable solvent for example, diethyl ether and/or recrystallization from a suitable solvent, for example, acetone and diethyl ether.
  • tertiary amine is selected from the group consisting of trimethylamine, triethylamine, trinormalpropylamine, dimethylethylamine, methyldiethylamine, dimethylallylamine, diethyallylamine, dimethyldodecylamine, dimethyloctadecylamine, trioctylamine, trioctadecylamine and trioleylamine and mixtures thereof and said carboxylic acid is selected from the group consisting of acetic acid, lauric acid, crotonic acid, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, oleic acid, l-adamantyl carboxylic acid and cyclohexyl carboxylic acid.
  • each of R R and R is alkyl having 1 to 18 carbon atoms and R is selected from the group consisting of alkyl having 1 to 17 carbon atoms, alkenyl having from 2 to 17 carbon atoms, adamantyl and cyclohexyl.
