Abstract

The invention relates to novel highly effective activators based on phenolic and enolic O-acyl compounds for peroxo compounds, activator compositions and washing, bleaching, cleaning and disinfecting agents containing these activators. The activator effect of phenolic O-alkanoyl compounds is greatly reduced if the chain of the alkanoyl group contains more than 9 to 10 C atoms. The phenolic and enolic activators of the invention contain the undecenoyl radical or an alkadienoyl group with 5 to 17 C atoms as the O-acyl group. The activator 4-undec-10-enoyl oxybenzole sulphonic acid or a water-soluble salt thereof is substantially more effective than the corresponding activator with an undecanoyl group. Activator mixtures of an activator of the invention and one based on an O-acyl or N-acyl compound exhibit synergistic effectiveness.

Peroxo compound activators and agents containing them

description

The invention relates to new, highly effective activators based on phenolic and enolic O-acyl compounds for peroxo compounds containing them

Activator compositions and washing, bleaching, cleaning and disinfecting agents.

Inorganic peroxo compounds are used as oxidizing agents in bleaching, washing, cleaning and disinfecting agents in order to improve the effect of such agents. Peroxo compounds used are in particular hydrogen peroxide and those substances which release hydrogen peroxide in aqueous solution, such as perborates and percarbonates. The effect of the inorganic peroxo compounds depends not only on the pH value, but also on the temperature. While a good effect is achieved when using the peroxo compounds mentioned at temperatures above about 80 ° C., at lower temperatures, in particular around / below 60 ° C. or around / below 40 ° C., the use of so-called activators is necessary. The activators are mostly N-acyl compounds, such as tetraacetylethylene diamine (TAED), or O-acyl compounds, such as n-nonanoyloxybenzenesulfonate (NOBS). Form in the aqueous phase

Hydrogen peroxide and the activators by perhydrolysis of the same percarboxylic acids, which also have a good washing, cleaning, bleaching and disinfecting effect in the low temperature range.

Bleaching agent compositions are known from US Pat. No. 4,412,934 which act as activators of substances of the formula R-CO-L contain, where R is an alkyl group with 5 to 18 carbon atoms, the longest chain R-CO has 6 to 10 carbon atoms, and the acid LH conjugated to the leaving group L has a pK _a value of 6 to 13 has. LH stands for phenols, enols and amides. The radical R stands for linear or branched alkyl, preferably (C5 to Cg) alkyl. The phenolic O-acyl activators include the Na salt of n-nonanoyloxybenzenesulfonic acid (NOBS), which is a very effective activator. Compounds with R equal to alkenyl are not disclosed in this document.

DE-OS 38 24 901 shows a process for the preparation of acyloxybenzenesulfonic acids and their salts, phenolsulfonic acid or a salt thereof being reacted with a carboxylic acid of the formula R-COOH and acetic anhydride. In addition to alkyl, alkoxyalkyl, α-chloroalkyl and phenyl, R can also be C5-C21-. in particular mean C5-Cn-alkenyl. Individual alkenoyloxybenzenesulfonic acids or their salts are not mentioned.

It has been found that the bleaching action of activators based on O-acyl compounds from

Phenols largely depend on their ability to release the percarboxylic acid in the highest possible yield during perhydrolysis: With C2-Cc) -alkanoyl compounds, the perhydrolysis proceeds essentially quantitatively. The yield of percarboxylic acids in the perhydrolysis of Cχo-alkanoyl compounds is already less than satisfactory, but a sudden drop in yield was found for Cn-alkanoyl compounds and a further sudden drop in the case of Ci2- ^alkanoyl compounds, so that alkanoyl compounds with the same or, in particular, more than 10 C atoms in the

Eliminate alkanoyl group as activators for practice. There were no indications from the prior art that the alkenoyl compounds analogous to the alkanoyl compounds mentioned could behave in principle differently. EP-B 0 320 219 teaches a detergent composition comprising (a) a surfactant, (b) a bleaching component of a peroxygen bleach and a peracid bleach precursor, and (c) an antioxidant in a glassy PVP carrier. In the

Peroxyacid precursors of the formula AC-L, L can represent a ξ- to C ₂ o ~ alkyl or alkenyl radical; compounds with a specific alkenyl group are not disclosed, nor are any advantages of such compounds indicated.

From EP patent 0 454 772 activators are known based on a (Cg-C2θ) fatty acyl mono- or diester of a hexose or pentose or an alkyl glycoside, the fatty acyl group being saturated or mono- or polyunsaturated. In similar activators - EP Patent 0 512 031 - the sugars have an acyl group with a saturated or unsaturated (C7-C19) hydrocarbon radical and 1 to 4 short-chain acyl or aroyl groups; oleoyl and 10-undecenoyl are mentioned among the unsaturated acyl radicals. A major disadvantage of the acylated sugars mentioned is that they can only be produced with great technical effort; For the activator activity of this class of substances it is of particular importance that the long- or medium-chain acyl group is in the right place - for hexoses this is the C ^ atom and not the C ⁶ atom. Another problem with activators based on acylated sugar is their often insufficient solubility, which reduces the effectiveness of the activator.

In view of the growing demand for detergents, bleaching agents, cleaning agents and disinfectants for the low temperature range, there is interest in further activators based on O-acyl compounds which match or exceed the properties of NOBS. The new O-acyl compounds should go with be accessible with less technical effort than is the case with the aforementioned acylated sugars.

The object is achieved by an activator for peroxo compounds based on an O-acyl compound of the general formula R ^ -CO-L, in which L is a leaving group bonded to R ^ -CO via an O atom of L, the O atom mentioned is bound to a C atom of a CC double bond of L and the acid LH corresponding to L has a pK _a value in the range from 1 to 13 and R- ¹ - an aliphatic one

Is hydrocarbon radical, the longest carbon chain comprises at least 5 carbon atoms, which is characterized in that Rl is a decenyl group with a central or terminal CC double bond or an alkadienyl group with 5 to 17 carbon atoms.

The subclaims are directed towards preferred

Embodiments of the activator according to the invention.

R ¹ is preferably decenyl, the C chain advantageously being unbranched. The double bond of decenyl can be terminal or middle; R ¹ is particularly preferably n-decenyl with a terminal double bond. Activators with an alkenoyl group with more than 11 carbon atoms are also more effective than the corresponding alkanoyl compounds. It is assumed that the completely different percarboxylic acid release of undec-10-enoyl compared to analog n-undecanoyl compounds is due to different micelle formation.

Among the activators with an alkadienyl radical for R ¹ , those with an unbranched or only slightly branched radical R ^{1 are} preferred. The longest C chain in R ¹ here preferably has 5 to 13, in particular 8 to 10, C atoms. The two double bonds of R ¹ can be conjugated or isolated. As an example referred to the acyl group 2, 4-hexadienoyl (= sorbinoyl).

Common to the activators according to the invention is that the acyl group is bonded to an oxygen atom of the leaving group L and said oxygen atom in turn to a one C atom of a CC double bond of L. Accordingly, the leaving group L is generally a phenolic or enolic one Leaving group. In the case of a phenolic leaving group, this expediently has the general formula (I):

where Y is a solubilizing group from the series -SO3M, -OSO3M, -COOM, -N ⁺ R ₃ A ^~ , -NRJ → O, n is an integer between 0 and 4 and Z is H, Cl, Y or C ^ -bis C_j-alkyl, M is H, alkali metal or ammonium, R ⁴ alkyl having 1 to 4 C atoms and A ^~ an anion from the series Cl ^" , OH ^" , SO4 ^{2 "} , PO4 ^3" , HPO4 ^{2 "} In the case of an enolic leaving group, this expediently has the general formula (II):

-O-CR ² = CHR ³ (II),

wherein R ² is H or C _] _ to C4 ~ alkyl and R ³ is H, Ci to C4 alkyl, vinyl, Cl, CN or COOM, where M has the meaning given above.

Among the aforementioned phenolic leaving groups L, preference is given to those in which n is the number 0 or 1, Z is hydrogen and Y is a sulfonic acid or carboxyl group or a salt, in particular a water-soluble salt, such as the sodium or potassium salt, of these acidic groups . LH p- or / and o-hydroxybenzenesulfonic acid or its sodium or potassium salt is particularly preferred. Activators, which are both one of the preferred leaving groups L and a preferred acyl group R ^ -CO are particularly effective.

The acid LH corresponding to the leaving group L has one or more pK _a values, depending on whether the molecule contains other acidic functions in addition to the acidic phenolic or enolic hydroxyl group. If Y in the general formula (I) is a sulfonic acid or carboxyl group and R ³ in the general formula (II) is a carboxyl group, these activators have two pK _a values, the first pK _a value between 1 and 5 and the second pK _{a is} between 6 and 13. The second pK _a value of preferred activators is usually between 8 and 10.

The activators according to the invention can be used to activate peroxo compounds. In the aqueous phase, the pH of which is between 4 and 13, preferably between 8 and 12, in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, perhydrolysis of the activator forms an unsaturated percarboxylic acid which has a bleaching and disinfecting effect; Activators are particularly preferred which are capable of forming a linear percarboxylic acid with a total of 11 carbon atoms and a terminal or medium-sized, preferably terminal, double bond.

Another object of the invention is based

Activator compositions which, in addition to at least one activator according to the invention, additionally contain one or more activators not according to the invention. These activators not according to the invention are in particular those based on N-acyl and

O-acyl compounds with 2 to 18 carbon atoms, preferably 2 to 11 carbon atoms in the acyl group. Exemplary representatives of these activators are O-acylated sugars and phenols, such as nonanoyloxybenzenesulfonate (NOBS), and N-acylated polyamines, such as tetraacetylethylene diamine (TAED), as well short-chain or medium-chain N-acyl compounds of cyclic amides, such as hytandoin, 2, 5-diketopiperazine, succinimide, caprolactam and pyrrolidinone and their derivatives. The activators according to the invention and activators not according to the invention can in the. Activator composition can be present in any mixing ratio per se, but a weight ratio in the range between 95 to 5 to 5 to 95 is expedient. The mixing ratio between activator according to the invention and activator not according to the invention is preferably in the range between 90 to 10 and 10 to 90. Particularly expedient it is, in addition to an activator according to the invention, in particular 4-undec-10-enoyl-oxybenzenesulfonate-Na (UDOBS), to use an activator according to the invention which is short-chain in perhydrolysis

Percarboxylic acid, especially peracetic acid forms - TAED is particularly suitable for this.

It has been found that combinations of an activator according to the invention with an undec-10-enoyl group and a non-inventive activator from the series of N- (C2 to C4) -acyl compounds and / or 0- (C2 to C4) -acyl compounds are synergistic Have bleaching effectiveness: For example, a mixture of the activator UDOBS according to the invention and TAED not according to the invention is substantially more effective than the respective mixing ratio. An activator composition of UDOBS and TAED with a content of up to about 30% by weight TAED surprisingly shows a higher bleaching efficiency than NOBS. UDOBS alone is at least as effective as NOBS. In addition to their unexpected synergistic bleaching activity, the previously disclosed activator combinations in detergents, bleaching agents, cleaning agents and disinfectants are notable for the fact that the costs for the activator combination are often lower than when an activator according to the invention is used alone. Another very effective activator mixture consists essentially of the above-mentioned UDOBS and n-heptanoyloxybenzenesulfonate-Na, the two activators being present in any quantitative ratio, but preferably in a molar ratio of about 1 to 1. The advantage of the last-mentioned activator mixture results from the fact that the carboxylic acids on which the two activators are based are easily obtainable as a mixture by pyrolysis of ricinoleic acid and subsequent oxidation. The acid mixture can be converted into the acid chloride using, for example, thionyl chloride, and this can be reacted in a manner known per se with ortho and / or para-hydroxybenzenesulfonic acid Na salt to give the desired activator mixture. The pure activators according to the invention can be prepared in principle in the same way by reacting the mono- or di-unsaturated carboxylic acid chloride with a phenol or enol or a phenolate or enolate to form the phenol or enol ester according to the invention and, if required, the reaction product in the desired acid or salt form is transferred. As an alternative process for the preparation of the activators and activator mixtures, that of DE-OS 38 24 901 is also suitable.

The invention further relates to oxidizing agents, bleaching agents, cleaning agents and disinfectants which contain hydrogen peroxide or a peroxo compound which releases hydrogen peroxide in the aqueous phase or an enzyme-substrate combination which forms hydrogen peroxide in situ in the aqueous phase and at least one activator according to the invention or one contain activator composition according to the invention. Suitable peroxo compounds, which in the aqueous phase under the usual washing, bleaching, cleaning and

Disinfection conditions are hydrogen peroxide in particular inorganic salts such as perborates, in particular sodium perborate monohydrate, sodium perborate tetrahydrate and superoxidized sodium perborate and sodium percarbonate, in particular sodium percarbonate of the general formula 2 Na2Cθ3 • 3 H2O2 _. which can also have a single- or multi-layer coating for the purpose of stabilization, furthermore perphosphates, persilicates and persulfates. Peroxo compounds from the series of urea peroxide hydrate, alkali peroxides and H 2 O 2 adducts with inorganic support materials, such as silicas and silicates, are also accessible for activation by the activators according to the invention. In practice, sodium perborates and sodium percarbonate are the most important peroxo compounds in the agents mentioned. The enzyme-substrate combinations which form hydrogen peroxide in situ in the aqueous phase are understood to be those which contain both an enzyme, for example glucose oxidase, urea oxidase, D-amino acid oxidase, alcohol oxidase and xanthine oxidase, and the corresponding substrate, that is to say glucose, urea, amino acids, alcohols or xanthine contain.

The aforementioned activators according to the invention and not according to the invention can be used individually or in the form of a previously prepared activator mixture in the washing, bleaching, cleaning and disinfecting agents according to the claims. The activator mixture can be in the form of a powder, granules, extrudate or coated particles, or in the form of a paste of the mixture and a liquid medium.

Depending on the intended use, the activators and inorganic peroxygen compounds can be used not only in the purely aqueous phase but also in the aqueous-organic phase. The usual washing, bleaching and cleaning liquors have a purely aqueous environment. An aqueous organic environment can be used in disinfection applications as well as be useful in technical oxidation processes. The pH of the aqueous medium is generally between about 4 and 13; but preferably in the alkaline range, usually at pH 8 to 12, since both the in situ formation of the organic peracid proceeds well and the stability of the peroxo compounds is satisfactory.

Detergents, bleaching agents, cleaning agents and disinfectants according to the invention contain, in addition to at least one activator according to the invention and a peroxo compound or an enzyme-substrate combination which forms H2O 2, customary components of such compositions. For washing, bleaching and cleaning, these agents are dissolved in an aqueous medium and form the washing, bleaching or cleaning liquor. The agents expediently contain pH-regulating components in order to maintain the pH value which is most favorable for washing, bleaching, cleaning and disinfecting and to favorably influence the in situ formation of the organic peracid from the peroxo compound and the activator and their stability in the environment.

In addition to a peroxo compound and an activator, the main components of the detergents and bleaches are builders and surfactants. The builders include, in particular, crystalline detergent-grade sodium aluminosilicates, in particular zeolite A, P and optionally X.

Layered silicates of the general formula Na2Si _x θ2χ + ι • y H2O. as described, for example, in EP-A 0 164 514, and sodium disilicate of the general formula Na2Si2θ5 • y H2O, as described, for example, in PCT application WO 91/08171 and in European applications EP-A 0 548 599, EP- A 0 502 325 and EP-A 0 452 428 are to be emphasized; other inorganic builders are condensed phosphates and amorphous silicates. Effective organic builder substances are amino polycarboxylic acids, such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and Nitrilotriacetic acid, polyphosphonic acids, in particular 1-hydroxyethane-l, 1-diphosphonic acid and ethylenediaminetetra- (methylenephosphonic acid), furthermore polycarboxylic acids, such as citric acid and sugar acids, and also polymeric polycarboxylic acids and polyoxycarboxylic acids, such as those known from DE-OS 43 03 320.

The agents according to the invention contain one or more surfactants from the series of cationic, anionic, non-ionic, amphoteric and ampholytic surfactants. The agents preferably contain nonionic surfactants, such as fatty alcohol and alkylphenol polyethylene glycol ethers and long-chain alkylglycosides, and anionic surfactants, such as alkylbenzenesulfonates and sulfates of fatty alcohol and polyethylene glycol monoethers. In addition, the washing, bleaching, cleaning and disinfecting agents according to the claims can contain alkaline and neutral electrolytes, such as alkanolamines, silicates, carbonates and sulfates; further additional components of such agents are pH regulators, stabilizers, foam regulators, graying inhibitors, anti-redeposition agents and enzymes such as oxidases, cellulases, peroxidases, proteases, amylases and lipases. Cleaning agents often contain additional abrasive substances and disinfectants, organic

Solubilizers and possibly other biocides than the present and developing peroxygen compounds.

Preferred detergents and bleaches according to the invention contain 2 to 35% by weight of one or more inorganic peroxo compounds, 0.2 to 20% by weight of activators, including at least one activator according to the invention or an activator composition according to the invention, 5 to 30% by weight anionic and / or non-ionic surfactants, 5 to 60 wt .-% inorganic builders, 0 to 20 wt .-% organic Builders as well as ad 100% by weight of customary auxiliaries in effective amounts and water. A special embodiment of agents according to the invention are so-called bleach additives, which advantageously contain 5 to 50% by weight of inorganic peroxo compounds, 2 to 30% by weight of activators, including at least one activator according to the invention or one activator composition according to the invention, 0 to 5% by weight peroxide stabilizers, 0 up to 40% by weight of pH regulating agents and ad 100% by weight of customary auxiliaries and water.

The agents according to the invention for washing, bleaching, cleaning and disinfecting are used in a conventional manner, for example by producing a washing, bleaching, cleaning and disinfectant liquor, contacting the material to be treated with this liquor, rinsing with water and drying.

The activators according to the invention as well

As can also be seen from the examples below, activator compositions are distinguished by an extraordinarily good activator activity. The

Activators are quickly and completely perhydrolyzed and form a very bleaching medium-chain unsaturated percarboxylic acid. The property profile of the activators according to the invention exceeds that of numerous known activators and, when used alone, corresponds at least to that of the currently most effective known activator NOBS. As already stated, a mixture according to the invention and an activator not according to the invention are distinguished by a surprisingly higher activator activity than was known even from the best known activators. The activators according to the invention are also accessible with less technical effort than activators based on sugars with at least one medium-chain unsaturated acyl group. example 1

Preparation of 4-undec-10-enoyl-oxybenzenesulfonic acid sodium salt (UDOBS)

19.6 g (0.1 mol) of anhydrous 4-hydroxybenzenesulfonate Na were suspended in 250 ml of xylene, 28.4 g (0.14 mol, 1.4 eq) of undecenoic acid chloride were added and the mixture was heated with vigorous reflux for 18 h . After filtering the precipitate, it was washed with diethyl ether and dried. 35.4 g (98%) of UDOBS were obtained as a colorless solid.

The ^ H NMR spectroscopic data are consistent with the structure.

Example 2

Preparation of an activator mixture consisting of 4-undec-10-enoyl-oxybenzenesulfonic acid Na salt (UDOBS) and n-heptanoyl-oxybenzenesulfonic acid Na salt (HOBS)

The mixture was produced by mixing the two individual components UDOBS and HOBS. UDOBS was produced according to example 1. HOBS was prepared analogously to Example 1 from 4-hydroxybenzenesulfonate Na and heptanoic acid chloride.

Example 3

Peracid release of UDOBS compared to n-nonanoyloxybenzenesulfonic acid Na (NOBS) and n-undecanoyloxybenzenesulfonic acid Na (UOBS)

The activator test was carried out in each case using a mixture of 1.5 g sodium perborate monohydrate, 0.5 g activator and 8 g base powder of a detergent composition containing zeolite, free of enzymes, bleaches and activators per 1 water. The peracid content formed at 30 ° C became dependent determined by the reaction time: 100 ml samples were taken at the times shown in Table 1, these were immediately added to a mixture of 250 g of ice and 15 ml of glacial acetic acid and then titrated with 0.1N sodium thiosulfate solution and starch as an indicator after the addition of potassium iodide . Only the peracids formed in situ were recorded under the specified conditions. The results - content of equivalent peracid as a function of time - follow from Table 1.

Table 1: Peracid release

15 0.94 0.88 0.54

20 0.93 0.85 0.54

30 Q, 91 0, 85 0, 50

From Table 1 it follows that the peracid release from the UDOBS according to the invention is largely similar to that of NOBS. This was surprising because UOBS, which has an acyl group of the same length as UDOBS, shows a completely different behavior when it comes to the release of peracid, namely a much lower release of peracid. Obviously, the olefinic double bond affects the acyl group favorably on perhydrolysis and thus peracid formation in a previously unknown manner.

However, 0.76 g of compact detergent base formulation, 0.144 g of sodium perborate monohydrate and 0.05 g of activators were used per wash cycle (200 ml). The basic detergent formulation consisted of alkylbenzenesulfonate, fatty alcohol ethoxylate; Zeolite A, polycarboxylate, EDTMP, sodium disilicate; Soda, magnesium silicate, CMC, sodium sulfate.
