Definitions
- Japanese Pat. No. 69 l ,726 discloses that certain N-methylolated phosphorus compounds bearing a methylene ether bond are effective in processing cellulose containing fibrous materials to impart flame resistance thereto. Then N- methylolated phosphorus compounds disclosed therein are obtained by the condensation of 3-dimethylphosphonopropionic acid methylolamide, in the presence of an organic solvent such as toluene or benzene, followed by methylolation with a reagent capable of generating formaldehyde.
- an organic solvent such as toluene or benzene
- non-methylolated intermediates afford no permanent flameproofing effect.
- the non-methylolated intermediates include the compounds represented by formula (l) appearing at the bottom of page 38. If n of formula l0) equals 2, then formula becomes:
- R may be the same or different alkyl, alkenyl or alkoxyalkyl groups.
- N-methylolated phosphorus compounds containing a methylene ether bond i.e., the end products used in the process as described in Japanese Pat. No. 691,726, emit a formaldehyde odor and generate formaldehyde in the course of the processing of cellulose containing fibrous materials.
- the noxious odor of the formaldehyde produces an undesirable working environment.
- An object of the present invention is to impart to cellulose containing fibrous materials permanent flame resistance, that is flame resistance coupled with excel lent resistance to washing.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide novel flameproofing agents which do not emit a formaledhyde odor and which will not generate formaldehyde in the course of flameproofing processing, thus improving the working environment for the flameproofing process.
- Still another object of the present invention is to provide and advantageous method for the preparation of flameproofing agents with which the above enumerated objects can be achieved.
- the present invention provides a method by which the phosphorus compounds of formula I, having a 5 methylene ether bond but no N-methylol groups, can
- the present invention also provides an easy method for the preparation of phosphorus compounds having a methylene ether bond out no N-methylol group, i.e. the compounds represented by formula I.
- FIG. 1 shows an infrared adsorption spectra chart for one of the compounds of formula I, i.e. N,N'- oxymethylenebis (dimethylphosphonopropion) amide.
- the present invention provides a method for the utilization of the phosphorus compounds having a methylene ether bond but no N- methylol groups represented by formula I(hereinafter referred to as phosphorus compounds I) as agents for flameproofing cellulose containing fibrous materials.
- the bond to the cellulose is a phosphorus compounds of formula I used in the monomolecular attachment, as in acid hydrolysis in almethod of the present invention is optional; however, cohol, the methylene ether bond splits off and simultathe following three processes are preferred: neously reacts with the hydroxy group in the cellulose
- the first process comprises condensation with water fiber thereby attaching to the cellulose fiber in the form 5 removal, in the presence of an acid catalyst such as of phosphonopropionamidomethyl ether.
- the third process which is the most preferred of the .temperature is too high or when the water content in three, comprises condensing a phosphonopropionathe reaction system is too high, the methylene ether mide, in the presence of an acid catalyst, with a formalbond changes into a methylene bond as depicted in dehyde source to directly produce the phosphorus equation 1. Accordingly, it may be theorized that the compounds I, as depicted in the following equation 4:
- the optimum pH in the reaction system for the pro duction of the phosphorus compounds I according to the process represented by equation 4 will vary to some degree with the reaction temperature, although it should generally be within the range of from 0.5 to 5, and preferably within the range of 2 to 4.
- the use of a pH outside the range of 0.5 to 5 is undesirable because when the pH of the reaction system is less than 0.5 methylene compounds form.
- the pH of the reaction system is above about 5, a higher temperature and a longer reaction time are required and side reactions resulting in the formation of impurites are increased.
- Such side reactions include, for example, the Cannizzaro reaction of formaldehyde, hydrolytic reactions of amide groups and hydrolytic reactions of the phosphoric acid esters.
- inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid
- organic acids such as p-toluenesulfonic acid
- strongly acidic ion exchange resins for the adjustment of the pH of the reaction system to 0.5 to 50 to include, for example, inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid, organic acids such as p-toluenesulfonic acid, and strongly acidic ion exchange resins.
- the reaction temperature in the process of equation 4 should be set in accordance with the pH of the reaction system, although it should generally be within the range of from 30 to 140C and preferably within the range of 50 to 90C.
- Suitable formaldehyde sources which may be used in this process include any compound capable of releasing formaldehyde in an acidic medium, for example, polyoxymethylenedialkylethers, trioxane, tetraoxane, para-.
- formaldehyde or an aqueous formaldehyde solution are preferred formaldehyde sources.
- the reaction depicted by equation 4 is a reversible equilibrium reaction. It is therefore desirable, for achieving complete conversion of the starting materials to the phosphorus compounds of formula I, to remove from the reaction system by-product Water as Well as that water introduced with the formaldehyde source. For removal of water from the reaction system, distillation under normal pressure suffices, although, from the standpoint of depression of side reactions and inhibition of vaporization of the formaldehyde source, it is more advantageous to employ a method wherein the water is distilled off under reduced pressure or wherein the water is azeotropically removed. Solvents suitable for use in azeotropic distillation include those solvents which, after cooling, seprate from the aqueous phase,

Bell Attorney, Agent, or FirmLane, Aitken, Dunner & Ziems 57 1 ABSTRACT 7 Claims, 1 Drawing Figure METHOD FOR PROCESSING CELLULOSE CONTAINING MATERIAL TO IMPART FLAME RESISTANCE BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION For imparting flame resistance to cellulose containing fibrous materials, the urea phosphate process is conventionally employed (see, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 4950/1962). The cloth processed in such a manner, however, suffers from many defects, for example, p; or resistance of the flameproofing to washing, a rough finish and extremely bad feel, as well as a large reduction in strength.
A relatively new process for flameproofing is disclosed in Japanese Pat. No. 69 l ,726. Japanese Pat. No. 691,726 discloses that certain N-methylolated phosphorus compounds bearing a methylene ether bond are effective in processing cellulose containing fibrous materials to impart flame resistance thereto. Then N- methylolated phosphorus compounds disclosed therein are obtained by the condensation of 3-dimethylphosphonopropionic acid methylolamide, in the presence of an organic solvent such as toluene or benzene, followed by methylolation with a reagent capable of generating formaldehyde. At lines 17-19 of column 21 of the specification of Japanese Pat. No. 691,726, it is taught that the non-methylolated intermediates afford no permanent flameproofing effect. The non-methylolated intermediates include the compounds represented by formula (l) appearing at the bottom of page 38. If n of formula l0) equals 2, then formula becomes:
/PCH2CH2CNHCH2OCH2NHCCH2CHZP (I) R0 I wherein R may be the same or different alkyl, alkenyl or alkoxyalkyl groups.
The N-methylolated phosphorus compounds containing a methylene ether bond, i.e., the end products used in the process as described in Japanese Pat. No. 691,726, emit a formaldehyde odor and generate formaldehyde in the course of the processing of cellulose containing fibrous materials. The noxious odor of the formaldehyde produces an undesirable working environment.
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to impart to cellulose containing fibrous materials permanent flame resistance, that is flame resistance coupled with excel lent resistance to washing.
Another object of the present invention is to provide novel flameproofing agents which do not emit a formaledhyde odor and which will not generate formaldehyde in the course of flameproofing processing, thus improving the working environment for the flameproofing process.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide and advantageous method for the preparation of flameproofing agents with which the above enumerated objects can be achieved.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a method by which the phosphorus compounds of formula I, having a 5 methylene ether bond but no N-methylol groups, can
be utilized to impart permanent flame resistance to cellulosic fibers; that is, flame resistance coupled with excellent resistance to washing. As previously noted, the compounds of formula I have not previously been recognized to have such a utility.
In accordance with the method of the invention, it is possible to greatly improve the working environment for the flameproofing processing of cellulose containing fibrous materials.
The present invention also provides an easy method for the preparation of phosphorus compounds having a methylene ether bond out no N-methylol group, i.e. the compounds represented by formula I.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING FIG. 1 shows an infrared adsorption spectra chart for one of the compounds of formula I, i.e. N,N'- oxymethylenebis (dimethylphosphonopropion) amide.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION As previously noted, the present invention provides a method for the utilization of the phosphorus compounds having a methylene ether bond but no N- methylol groups represented by formula I(hereinafter referred to as phosphorus compounds I) as agents for flameproofing cellulose containing fibrous materials.
On the other hand, phosphorus compounds similar to those of formula I and represented by the following general formula II 35 R 0 OR PCH2CH2CNHCH2HNCCH2CH2P (II) R 0 OR 2 o o o o 4 (I) (II) +CI-I O However, when cellulose containing fibrous materials are processed for flameproofing with the phosphorus compounds I in accordance with the method of the present invention, the conversion of methylene ether bond into the methylene bond does not occur under general processing conditions. Although it is not completely clear why the methylene ether bond in the phosphorus compounds of formula I does not change into a methylene bond under general processing conditions,
it is theorized that, since the bond to the cellulose is a phosphorus compounds of formula I used in the monomolecular attachment, as in acid hydrolysis in almethod of the present invention is optional; however, cohol, the methylene ether bond splits off and simultathe following three processes are preferred: neously reacts with the hydroxy group in the cellulose The first process comprises condensation with water fiber thereby attaching to the cellulose fiber in the form 5 removal, in the presence of an acid catalyst such as of phosphonopropionamidomethyl ether. p-toluenesulfonic acid, of the monomethylol derivative As described in the foregoing, the methylene ether of, for example, d-dimethylphosphonopropionamide, bond in the phosphorus compounds I used in the as described in the published specification of Japanese method of the present invention is a potential func- Patent No. 646,127, This reaction may be represented tional group which splits off under processing condiby the following equation 2:

However, phosphorus solvent such as dioxane or in the absence of a solvent, compounds I show an excellent permanent flameproofand in the presence of a basic catalyst such as sodium ing effect as demonstrated by the following examples: methoxide, as depicted in the following equation 3:

As a consequence, this method represents a carefully adjust reaction conditions. When the reaction relatively expensive route for the production of the conditions are not optimized, for example when the pH compounds of formula I. in the reaction system is too low, when the reaction The third process, which is the most preferred of the .temperature is too high or when the water content in three, comprises condensing a phosphonopropionathe reaction system is too high, the methylene ether mide, in the presence of an acid catalyst, with a formalbond changes into a methylene bond as depicted in dehyde source to directly produce the phosphorus equation 1. Accordingly, it may be theorized that the compounds I, as depicted in the following equation 4:
PCH CH CH CNH CH O 5:21 (I) H O (4) R 0 u n O 0 process described in the published specification in Jap- It is well known in the art that when an acid amide anese Pat.

A phosphonopropionamide, when condensed containing only small amounts of those compounds. with formaldehyde, forms a methylene compound as The particular process for the preparation of the depicted by the following equation 5:
PCH CH CNH CH O) (II) H The formation of a methylene compound in accordance with the reaction depicted in equation 5, however. takes place only when the pH of the reaction system is strongly acidic, that is, not higher than 0.5. When the pH of the reaction system is in the range of form 0.5 to 5 reaction (5) does not occur but, rather, a phosphorus compound of formula 1 forms according to the reaction as depicted by equation 4. Thus, when the condensation reaction of a phosphonopropionamide with formaldehyde is conducted in an acidic medium, it is possible to restrict the reaction to the production of methylene ether bond bearing phosphorus compounds I, only, without forming by-product methylene compounds, only if the pH in the reaction system is closely controlled.
The optimum pH in the reaction system for the pro duction of the phosphorus compounds I according to the process represented by equation 4 will vary to some degree with the reaction temperature, although it should generally be within the range of from 0.5 to 5, and preferably within the range of 2 to 4. The use of a pH outside the range of 0.5 to 5 is undesirable because when the pH of the reaction system is less than 0.5 methylene compounds form. On the other hand, when the pH of the reaction system is above about 5, a higher temperature and a longer reaction time are required and side reactions resulting in the formation of impurites are increased. Such side reactions include, for example, the Cannizzaro reaction of formaldehyde, hydrolytic reactions of amide groups and hydrolytic reactions of the phosphoric acid esters.
Suitable acidic agents for the adjustment of the pH of the reaction system to 0.5 to 50 to include, for example, inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid, organic acids such as p-toluenesulfonic acid, and strongly acidic ion exchange resins.
The reaction temperature in the process of equation 4 should be set in accordance with the pH of the reaction system, although it should generally be within the range of from 30 to 140C and preferably within the range of 50 to 90C.
Suitable formaldehyde sources which may be used in this process include any compound capable of releasing formaldehyde in an acidic medium, for example, polyoxymethylenedialkylethers, trioxane, tetraoxane, para-.
formaldehyde or an aqueous formaldehyde solution. From the standpoint of the ease of the reaction procedure, paraformaldehyde in concentrations not higher than 80 percent by weight and aqueous formaldehyde solutions are preferred formaldehyde sources.
The reaction depicted by equation 4 is a reversible equilibrium reaction. It is therefore desirable, for achieving complete conversion of the starting materials to the phosphorus compounds of formula I, to remove from the reaction system by-product Water as Well as that water introduced with the formaldehyde source. For removal of water from the reaction system, distillation under normal pressure suffices, although, from the standpoint of depression of side reactions and inhibition of vaporization of the formaldehyde source, it is more advantageous to employ a method wherein the water is distilled off under reduced pressure or wherein the water is azeotropically removed. Solvents suitable for use in azeotropic distillation include those solvents which, after cooling, seprate from the aqueous phase,
' for example benzene, toluene, cyclohexane and carbon tetrachloride.
The methylene ether bond in the phosphorus compounds I obtained by the above enumerated varied processes can easily be quantitatively determined by, for example, infrared absorption spectroscopy, or chemical analysis wherein the formaldehyde content after decomposition with a dilute aqueous acid solution is quantitatively determined.
In the phosphorus compounds I used in the method according to the present invention, R to R are the same or different alkyl, alkenyl or alkoxyalkyl groups and each have not more than 10 carbon atoms, and preferably not more than 4 carbon atoms. Of these groups, the alkyl and halogen alkyl groups are preferred and R R R and R are preferably methyl, isopropyl or chloroethyl groups.
The reaction catalysts used for treating cellulose containing materials with the phosphorus compounds of formula I are conventional. Those catalysts known to be useful in curing amino resins, for example, ammonium chloride, orthophosphoric acid, magnesium chloride, zinc nitrate or Zinc borofluoride, can be used.
The concentration in the processing bath of the particular phosphorus compound of formula I used may vary with the desired degree of flame resistance to be imparted. A suitable concentration range is from 5 to percent by weight, and preferably from 20 to 50 percent by weight.
In impregnating a cellulosic material with the above described processingsolution, a variety of conventional methods may be applied, such as pressing between rolls, spraying or centrifugation. In addition, the manner of drying may be by any means and drying at any temperature between room temperature and 200C suffices. With regard to curing conditions, satisfactory results are obtainable by curing at temperatures, of the order of from 120 to 200C for periods of time of from 30 seconds to 10 minutes.
In conjunction with the method of the present invention, amino resins may be applied without difficulty. Suitable amino resins include reaction products of a variety of low molecular amino compounds usually used as the starting materials for the manufacture of amino resins, for example, urea, melamine, thiourea, ethylene urea, guanidine or urone, with formaldehyde, as well as the alkoxylated derivatives thereof.
When such amino resins are applied in conjunction with the present invention, however, the working environment will be adversely affected due to the generation of formaldehyde. On the other hand, when the phosphorus compounds I are used alone in accordance with the method of the invention, formaldehyde is not generated and therefore the working environment is not adversely affected. For this reasons, the use of the phosphorus compounds I without the presence of amino resins is preferred.
EXAMPLE 1 A solution of 184 g (1 mole) N,N- oxymethylenebisacrylamide and 242 g (2.2 moles) dimethyl phosphite in 300 cc dioxane is heated to 40C and a methanolic sodium methoxide solution (8 g sodium, g methanol) as catalyst added in portions with stirring. After the addition of approximately twothirds volume of the sodium methoxide solution, an exothermic reaction takes place and the reaction temperature rises. Subsequently, the catalyst is added in portions in such a manner as to maintain the reaction temperature at 80C. When the addition of the catalyst is complete, stirring is continued at the same temperature for about one hour to complete the reaction. The reaction mixture is distilled under reduced pressure to remove dioxane and excessive dimethyl phosphite. thus giving 407 g N,N-oxymethylenebis( dimethylphosphonopropion) amide (general formula (1), R R CH as a clear viscous liquid.

The cured cloth was subjected to minutes soaping at 40C using a 0.2 percent by weight detergent (manufactured by Kao Sekken Co., Ltd.; Trade Name ZABU) aqueous solution and then rinsed for 5 minutes with water. This procedure was repeated five times. The finally dried cloth was used as the test cloth The flame resistance test was conducted in accordance with Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) -L- 1091 A- 1. This test method is the 45 microburner method. The test cloth is spread over a 25 X 15 cm frame and set in a combustion test chamber at an angle of 45. The microburner is ignited, the cloth heated for one minute and the flame duration time (the length of time from the end of heating to a point where flaming of the test cloth ends) is determined. The microburner is adjusted beforehand in a manner such that the length of the flame is 4.5 cm and the tip thereof is in contact with the test cloth. Subsequently the test cloth is separated from the flame and the carbonized length and area are determined. Picked up means squeezed, rung, etc. 80 percent by weight pick up means that 80 percent of the water was removed.

In 2 hours the suspension became a clear solution. The solution was stirred for an additional three hours to complete the reaction. The reaction mixture was distilled under reduced pressure to remove water and excessive formaldehyde. The product was N,N- oxydimethylenebis( dimethylphosphonopropion) amide of 97.4 percent purity with a yield 202 g.
A flameproofing bath was prepared from a 35 percent by weight aqueous solution of the above product to which solution 3 percent phosphoric acid had been added, and the processing conducted as in Example 2, whereupon no odor of formaldehyde was detected.
