Die Erfindung betrifft neue Phosphorsäuretriester, die man erhält, indem man in an sich bekannter Weise Phosphorsäuremo- no-/diester-Gemische herstellt und die freien Säurefunktionen anschließend mit Alkylenoxid verestert, ein Verfahren zu ih¬ rer Herstellung sowie deren Verwendung zur Herstellung von Textil- und Faserhilfsmitteln.The invention relates to new phosphoric acid triesters which are obtained by preparing phosphoric acid mono- / diester mixtures in a manner known per se and then esterifying the free acid functions with alkylene oxide, a process for their preparation and their use for the production of textile and fiber aids.
Stand der TechnikState of the art
Phosphorsäureester, die häufig auch als Alkylphosphate be¬ zeichnet werden, stellen wichtige anionische Tenside dar, die wegen ihren guten Netzeigenschaften zur Herstellung von Wasch- und Reinigungsmitteln, insbesondere im Bereich der Textil- und Faserbehandlung eingesetzt werden. Übersichten zu diesem Thema sind beispielsweise von R.S.Cooper et al. in J.Am.Oil.Chem.Soc. .41, 337 (1964), H.Oistler et al. in Tens. Deterg. JL2, 263 (1975), K.Hennig in Seifen-Öle-Fette-Wchse 102, 221 (1976) und A.J.O'Lennick et al. in Soap,Cosm.Chem. Spec. T_, 26 (1986) zu finden. Über den Einsatz von Estern der Phosphorsäure mit Polyethylenglycol als Antistatikmittel für Fasern berichten A.Polowinska et al. in Acta Polymeric 38., 5 (1987).Phosphoric acid esters, which are often also referred to as alkyl phosphates, are important anionic surfactants which, because of their good wetting properties, are used for the production of detergents and cleaning agents, particularly in the field of textile and fiber treatment. Overviews on this topic have been published by RSCooper et al. in J.Am.Oil.Chem.Soc. 41, 337 (1964), H. Oistler et al. in tens. Deterg. JL2, 263 (1975), K.

About the use of esters of Phosphoric acid with polyethylene glycol as an antistatic agent for fibers report A. Polowinska et al. in Acta Polymeric 38, 5 (1987).
Zur Herstellung von Phosphorsäureestern geht man üblicher¬ weise von primären Alkoholen aus, die mit Phosphorpentoxid, seltener ortho-Phosphorsäure, verestert werden. Im Fall von P2O5 setzt man die Reaktionspartner üblicherweise in einem Verhältnis von etwa 3 : 1 ein, d.h., bei den resultierenden Produkten handelt es sich um technische Gemische von Mono- und Diestern; der Veresterungsgrad liegt um 1,5. Für den technischen Einsatz sind diese Partialester zwar in der Regel gut geeignet, es besteht jedoch ein Bedürfnis nach Triestern, also Produkten, bei denen alle Estergruppen der Phosphorsäure abgesättigt sind.For the preparation of phosphoric acid esters, one usually starts from primary alcohols which are esterified with phosphorus pentoxide, more rarely orthophosphoric acid. In the case of P2O5, the reactants are usually used in a ratio of about 3: 1, i.e. the resulting products are technical mixtures of mono- and diesters; the degree of esterification is around 1.5. Although these partial esters are generally well suited for industrial use, there is a need for triesters, that is to say products in which all the ester groups of the phosphoric acid are saturated.

Primary alcohols
Als Ausgangsstoffe für die Herstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Phosphorsäuretriester kommen niedere aliphatische Alkohole wie beispielsweise Methanol, Ethanol, Propanol, Butanol und Pentanol in Betracht. Vorzugsweise werden lineare Fettalko¬ hole bzw. teilweise verzweigte Oxoalkohole mit 6 bis 22 und insbesondere 12 bis 18 Kohlenstoffatomen eingesetzt. Typische Beispiele sind Capronalkohol, Caprylalkohol, 2-Ethylhexylal- kohol, Caprinalkohol, Laurylalkohol, Isotridecylalkohol, My- ristylalkohol, Cetylalkohol, Palmoleylalkohol, Stearylalko- hol, Isostearylalkohol, Oleylalkohol, Elaidylalkohol, Petro- selinylalkohol, Linolylalkohol, Linolenylalkohol, Elaeostea- rylalkohol, Arachylalkohol, Gadoleylalkohol, Behenylalkohol und Erucylalkohol sowie deren technische Mischungen, die z.B. bei der Hochdruckhydrierung von technischen Methylestern auf Basis von Fetten und ölen oder Aldehyden aus der Roelen'sehen Oxosynthese sowie als Monomerfraktion bei der Dimerisierung von ungesättigten Fettalkoholen anfallen.Lower aliphatic alcohols, such as, for example, methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol and pentanol, are suitable as starting materials for the preparation of the phosphoric acid triesters according to the invention. Linear fatty alcohols or partially branched oxo alcohols having 6 to 22 and in particular 12 to 18 carbon atoms are preferably used. Typical examples are capronic alcohol, caprylic alcohol, 2-ethylhexyl alcohol, capric alcohol, lauryl alcohol, isotridecyl alcohol, myristyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, palmoleyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, isostearyl alcohol, oleyl alcohol, elaidyl alcohol, linoleol alcohol, alcoholol alcohol alcohol, petro-selyl alcohol alcohol , Gadoleyl alcohol, behenyl alcohol and erucyl alcohol and their technical mixtures, which, for example in the high-pressure hydrogenation of technical methyl esters based on fats and oils or aldehydes from Roelen's oxosynthesis and as a monomer fraction in the dimerization of unsaturated fatty alcohols.
Bevorzugt sind technische Fettalkohole mit 8 bis 18 bzw. 12 bis 18 Kohlenstoffatomen wie beispielsweise Kokos-, Palm-, Palmkem- oder Taigfettalkohol.Technical fatty alcohols having 8 to 18 or 12 to 18 carbon atoms, such as, for example, coconut, palm, palm kernel or tallow fatty alcohol, are preferred.
Neben den genannten Alkoholen können auch deren Anlagerungs¬ produkte mit durchschnittlich 1 bis 20, vorzugsweise 3 bis 15 Mol Ethylenoxid und/oder Propylenoxid eingesetzt werden. Be¬ vorzugt sind Anlagerungsprodukte von Ethylenoxid an Fettal¬ kohole mit 1 bis 22 und insbesondere 8 bis 18 Kohlenstoffato¬ men. Als primäre Alkohole kommen schließlich auch Diole vom Typ des Ethylenglycols sowie Polyethylenglycole mit einem durch¬ schnittlichen Molekulargewicht von 50 bis 2000 und vorzugs¬ weise 100 bis 400 in Frage.In addition to the alcohols mentioned, their adducts with an average of 1 to 20, preferably 3 to 15, mol of ethylene oxide and / or propylene oxide can also be used. Addition products of ethylene oxide onto fatty alcohols having 1 to 22 and in particular 8 to 18 carbon atoms are preferred. Finally, diols of the ethylene glycol type and polyethylene glycols with an average molecular weight of 50 to 2000 and preferably 100 to 400 are also suitable as primary alcohols.
Umsetzung mit Phosphorpentoxid bzw. PolyphosphorsäureReaction with phosphorus pentoxide or polyphosphoric acid
Die Veresterung von primären Alkoholen mit Phosphorpentoxid bzw. Polyphosphorsäure ist an sich bekannt. Vorzugsweise wer¬ den die Fettalkohole und das Phosphatierungsmittel im molaren Verhältnis von 1 : 1 bis 4 : 1 eingesetzt, wobei die Reak¬ tionstemperatur im Bereich von 40 bis 100 und vozugsweise 50 bis 90°C liegen sollte. Bei Einsatz von P2O5 als Phosphatie¬ rungsmittel empfiehlt sich insbesondere ein molares Einsatz¬ verhältnis von 2,5 : 1 bis 3,5 : 1, wird Polyphosphorsäure eingesetzt, liegt das optimale Einsatzverhältnis hingegen bei 1,4 : 1 bis 1,7 : 1. Die resultierenden Ester stellen tech¬ nische Mono-/diester-Gemische dar und weisen in der Regel einen Veresterungsgrad im Bereich von 1,0 bis 1,5 auf, d.h., durchschnittlich ist nur etwa jede zweite Säuregruppe ver¬ estert. Die Gemische können ferner geringe Mengen Phosphor¬ säure sowie - abhängig von der Kettenlänge - etwa 0,5 bis 20 Gew.-% freien Alkohol enthalten. Wegen der stark exothermen Reaktion von kurzkettigen Alkoholen bzw. Alkylenglycolen mit Phosphorpentoxid empfiehlt sich vor allem in diesen Fällen der Einsatz von Polyphosphorsäure. Dies gilt auch dann, wenn man vorzugsweise Monoester erhalten möchte. AlkoxylierunαThe esterification of primary alcohols with phosphorus pentoxide or polyphosphoric acid is known per se. The fatty alcohols and the phosphating agent are preferably used in a molar ratio of 1: 1 to 4: 1, the reaction temperature being in the range from 40 to 100 and preferably 50 to 90 ° C. When P2O5 is used as the phosphating agent, a molar ratio of 2.5: 1 to 3.5: 1 is particularly recommended. If polyphosphoric acid is used, the optimal ratio is 1.4: 1 to 1.7: 1 The resulting esters are technical mono / diester mixtures and generally have a degree of esterification in the range from 1.0 to 1.5, ie on average only about every second acid group is esterified. The mixtures can also contain small amounts of phosphoric acid and - depending on the chain length - about 0.5 to 20% by weight of free alcohol. Because of the strongly exothermic reaction of short-chain alcohols or alkylene glycols with phosphorus pentoxide, the use of polyphosphoric acid is particularly recommended in these cases. This also applies if you prefer to receive monoesters. Alkoxylation
Die Alkoxylierung der im ersten Verfahrensschritt erhaltenen Mono-/diester-Gemische gelingt ohne Zugabe von Katalysatoren, da die Gemische eine ausreichend hohe Säurezahl aufweisen. Die Menge an Alkylenoxid ist so zu wählen, daß zumindest rechnerisch eine Absättigung aller noch freien Säuregruppen resultiert. In der Praxis wird man freilich einen deutlichen Überschuß wählen, insbesondere um die Hydrophilie und - ins¬ besondere bei Einsatz von langkettigen Alkoholen - das phy¬ sikalische Erscheinungsbild der Produkte vorteilhaft zu be¬ einflussen. Die Menge des Alkylenoxids kann vorteilhafterwei¬ se auch über die Abnahme der Säurezahl kontrolliert werden. Üblicherweise werden die Estergemische und die Alkylenoxide im molaren Verhältnis von 1 : 1 bis 1 : 20 und insbesondere 1 : 2 bis 1 : 10 - bezogen auf den Phosphorgehalt - eingesetztThe alkoxylation of the mono- / diester mixtures obtained in the first process step is possible without the addition of catalysts, since the mixtures have a sufficiently high acid number. The amount of alkylene oxide is to be selected so that, at least in mathematical terms, all acid groups still free are saturated. In practice, of course, a clear excess will be chosen, in particular in order to advantageously influence the hydrophilicity and - in particular when long-chain alcohols are used - the physical appearance of the products. The amount of the alkylene oxide can advantageously also be controlled via the decrease in the acid number. The ester mixtures and the alkylene oxides are usually used in a molar ratio of 1: 1 to 1:20 and in particular 1: 2 to 1:10, based on the phosphorus content
Die Alkoxylierung, bei der es sich vorzugsweise um die Anla¬ gerung von Ethylenoxid an die sauren Hydroxylgruppen handelt, kann bei vergleichsweise niedrigen Temperaturen von 90 bis 150°C durchgeführt werden. Aus kinetischen Gründen erfolgt überwiegend eine Veresterung der Säuregruppen; die Insertion in Esterbindungen ist demgegenüber benachteiligt und findet allenfalls untergeordnet statt. Es gilt, daß die Selektivität um so höger ist, je milder die Reaktionsbedingungen sind. Die Zugabe des Alkylenoxid erfolgt in der Regel portionsweise, so daß ein autogener Druck von wenigen bar nicht überstiegen wird. Gewerbliche AnwendbarkeitThe alkoxylation, which is preferably the addition of ethylene oxide to the acidic hydroxyl groups, can be carried out at comparatively low temperatures of 90 to 150 ° C. For kinetic reasons, esterification of the acid groups predominates; the insertion in ester bonds, however, is disadvantaged and at most takes place subordinate. It is true that the milder the reaction conditions, the higher the selectivity. The alkylene oxide is generally added in portions so that an autogenous pressure of a few bar is not exceeded. Industrial applicability
Die erfindungsgemäßen Phosphorsäuretriester sind hellfarbig, flüssig und besitzen eine hohe Hydrophilie. Sie eignen sich daher zur Herstellung von Textil- und Faserhilfsmitteln, wie beispielsweise Spinnfaserpräparationen, Netzmitteln für die textile Vorbehandlung, Entschäumer oder Antistatika, in denen sie in Mengen von 0,5 bis 30, vorzugsweise 1 bis 15 Gew.-% - bezogen auf die Mittel - enthalten sein können.The phosphoric acid triesters according to the invention are light colored, liquid and have a high hydrophilicity. They are therefore suitable for the production of textile and fiber auxiliaries, such as, for example, spin fiber preparations, wetting agents for textile pretreatment, defoamers or antistatic agents, in which they are present in amounts of 0.5 to 30, preferably 1 to 15% by weight, based on the Means - may be included.
