Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a chemical process for preparing N-alkyl polyhydroxy amines, especially N-methylgluc ⁇ amine, as well as fatty acid derivatives thereof useful as surfactants.
  • N-alkyl polyhydroxy amines such as N- methylglucamine
  • N-alkyl polyhydroxy amines have been known for many years, and such materials are available commercially. In the main, however, their use has been somewhat limited and such materials have been relatively expensive.
  • N-alkyl polyhydroxy amines in a form that is suitable for subsequent reaction with fatty acid methyl esters, since contamination of the N-alkyl polyhydroxy amines with, for example, hydrogenation catalysts such as Raney nickel, unreacted sugars, water, N-methylglucosyl amine intermediates, and the like, can seriously impact on the formation of the fatty acid polyhydroxy amide formation. For example, browning reactions, with the formation of undesirable color bodies, can occur, especially in the presence of N-methylglucosyl amine. The formation of various undesirable by-products such as cyclic materials and/or ester- amides can also occur.
  • the present invention provides a simple means for preparing N-alkyl polyhydroxy amines especially N-methyl glucamine, in high yields, with low color formation, and in a form that is particu ⁇ larly suited for subsequent reaction with fatty acid esters.
  • U.S. Patent 1,985,424, Piggott, issued December 25, 1934 discloses manufacturing "textile assistants" by reacting (a) the product of heating ' glucose and aqueous methylamine in presence of hydrogen and a hydrogenating catalyst under pressure with (b) an organic carboxylic acid such as stearic acid or oleic acid.
  • the condensation product, prepared at about 160 * C is said to be "predominantly, if not exclusively, an amide” and is assertedly of the formula R-C0-NR 1 -CH 2 -(CH0H) 4 -CH 2 0H wherein R is an alkyl radical containing at least 3 carbon atoms, while R-. is hydrogen or an alkyl radical.
  • This structure is apparently the same as the structure proposed by Piggott. Schwartz contrasts the single-product outcome he believes he secures with compounds he asserts are actually produced when acids are reacted with N-alkylglucamines, namely mixtures of the amide (I) with one or more by-products, to which he assigns estera ide and estera ine structures and which assertedly include compounds which are "inert and waxy, impairing the surface activity of" the structure (I) amide.
  • N-monoalkylglucamines can be reacted with fatty alkyl esters by heating at UO'C- ⁇ SO'C, preferably 160 * C-180 * C at normal, reduced or superatmospheric pressures for a period "somewhat in excess of one hour" during which time two initially immiscible phases merge to form a product said to be a useful detergent.
  • Suitable N-monoalkylglucamines are illustrated by N-methyl ⁇ glucamine, N-ethylglucamine, N-isopropylglucamine and N-butylgluc- amine.
  • Suitable fatty alkyl esters are illustrated by the product of reacting a C 6 -C 30 fatty acid with an aliphatic alcohol e.g., methyl ester of 1auric acid.
  • Mixed glycerides of Manila oil or mixed glycerides of cochin coconut oil can apparently also be used as the fatty ester.
  • the glucamine is N-methylglucamine
  • the corresponding products with these fatty esters are characterized as the "fatty acid amides of N-methylglucamine", which are useful detergent surfactants.
  • compositions comprising mixtures of formula (I) compounds together with appreciable proportions (e.g., about 25%, often much more) of several other components, especially cyclic glucamide by-products (including but not limited to the structures proposed by Zech) or related derivatives such as estera ides wherein as compared with formula (I) at least one -OH moiety is esterified.
  • Hildreth provides a solvent- assisted process for making the compounds differing seminally from Schwartz in that it returns to the use of a fatty acid reactant, instead of fatty ester. Moreover, Hildreth relies on pyrid- ine/ethyl chlorofor ate as the solvent/activator. This process is specifically illustrated for octanoyl-N-methylglucamide (“OMEGA”), nonanoyl-N-methylglucamide (“MEGA-9”) and decanoyl-N-methylgluc ⁇ amide (“MEGA-10"). The process is said to be cheap and high- yield.
  • OEGA octanoyl-N-methylglucamide
  • MEGA-9 nonanoyl-N-methylglucamide
  • MEGA-10 decanoyl-N-methylgluc ⁇ amide
  • formula (I) compounds are useful as a surfactant for laundry detergents such as those having granular form.
  • Hildreth mentions use of compounds of formula (I) in the biochemistry field as a detergent agent for solubilizing plasma membranes and EP-A 285,768, published December 10, 1988 describes application of formula (.1) compounds as a thickener.
  • these compounds, or compositions containing them, can be highly desirable surfactants-.
  • compositions comprising formula (I) compounds are included in the above-identified disclosure of improved thickeners. See EP-A 285,768. See also H. Kelkenberg, Tenside Surfactants Detergents 25 (1988) 8-13, inter al ia for additional disclosures of processes for making N-alkylglucamines which, along with the above-identified art- disclosed N-alkylglucamine processes can be combined with the instant process for an overall conversion of glucose and fatty materials to useful surfactant compositions.
  • EP-A 285,768 includes a brief statement to the effect that "it is known that the preparation of chemical compounds of formula (I) is done by reacting fatty acids or fatty acid esters in a melt with polyhydroxy alkylamines which can be N-substituted, optionally in the presence of alkaline catalysts".
  • the above-referenced art strongly suggests that this statement is a gross simplification or is inaccurate.
  • EP-A 285,768 does not cite any references in support of the quoted statement, nor has any reference other than EP-A 285,768 been found which actually does disclose any catalytic condensation of N-alkylglucamines with fatty esters or fatty triglycerides.
  • the European Patent Application contains the following
  • EP-A 285,768 continues with the following: "In a similar manner the following fatty acid glucamides were prepared:
  • the aforementioned Schwartz patent teaches that the problem of making formula (I) compounds from fatty esters or triglycerides and an N-alkylglucamine is solved by selecting fatty ester (instead of fatty acid) as the fatty reactant, and by doing simple uncatalyzed condensations.
  • Later literature, such as Hildreth changes direction back to a fatty acid-type synthesis, but does not document either that the teaching of the Schwartz patent is in error or how, short of making highly pure formula (I) compounds, to make such surfactants to detergent for ulator's specifications.
  • the present invention encompasses a process (carried out under non-oxidizing conditions) for preparing N-alkyl polyhydroxy amines, comprising the steps of: a) reacting a reducing sugar or reducing sugar derivative with a primary amine reactant in an amine solvent at mole ratios of amine:sugar not greater than about 30:1 to provide an adduct; b) reacting said adduct from step (a) dissolved in said solvent with hydrogen under mild conditions in the presence of a metal catalyst; and c) removing said catalyst and substantially removing the water and unreacted amines from the reaction mixture to secure the N-alkyl polyhydroxy amine.

  • Step (b) of the process is preferably carried out at a temperature of from about 40 * C to about 120°C, preferably from about 50 ⁇ C to about 90 * C.
  • Steps (a) and (b) of the R-l process are preferably conducted under non-oxidizing conditions (e.g., inert gas) to provide good color. Catalyst removal is, of course, done under inert conditions due to fire hazard.
  • non-oxidizing conditions e.g., inert gas
  • the invention herein also encompasses an overall process for preparing polyhydroxy fatty acid amide surfactants which includes an amide-forming reaction comprising reacting the N-alkyl polyhy ⁇ droxy amine materials prepared in the foregoing manner with. fatty acid esters in an organic hydroxy solvent in the presence of a base catalyst.
  • the formation of such surfactants with high conversions, high purity and low color is an especially beneficial result of the present process, * since it allows the detergent formulator to pump or otherwise incorporate the polyhydroxy fatty acid amide reaction product plus the reaction solvent such as 1,2-propylene glycol, glycerol, or alcohol (e.g., in liquid detergents) directly into the final detergent formulation.
  • This offers economic advantages in that a final solvent removal step is rendered unnecessary, particularly where glycols or ethanol is used.
  • the process herein allows the formulator to prepare high quality polyhydroxy fatty acid amide surfactants without purification of the N-alkylglucamine.

  • Polyhy- droxyamines available from the R-l reaction are preferably not contaminated by the presence of residual amounts of metallo hydrogenation catalysts, although a few parts per million [e.g., 1-20 ppm] can be present.)
  • Mixtures of the ester and mixtures of the polyhydroxyamine reactants can also be used.
  • Catalysts - The catalysts used in the R-2 reaction are basic materials such as the alkoxides (preferred), hydroxides (less preferred due to possible hydrolysis reactions), carbonates, and the like.
  • Preferred alkoxide catalysts include the alkali metal C x -C 4 alkoxides such as sodium ethoxide, potassium ethoxide, and the like.
  • the catalysts can be prepared separately from the reaction mixture, or can be generated in situ using an alkali metal such as sodium. For in situ generation, e.g., sodium metal in the methanol solvent, it is preferred that the other reactants not be present until catalyst generation is complete.
  • the catalyst typically is used at a level of about 5 mole % of the ester reactant. Mixtures of catalysts can also be used.
  • Solvents -The organic hydroxy solvents used in the R-2 reaction include, for example, methanol, ethanol, propanol, iso-propanol, the butanols, glycerol, 1,2-propylene glycol, 1,3-propylene glycol, and the like.

  • the consistency of the reaction mixture at the 70% concentration level provides ease of handling. However, even better results are secured at the 80% and 90% concentration levels, in that chromotography data indicate that even less of the undesired by-products are formed at these higher concentrations.
  • the reaction systems are somewhat more difficult to work with, and require more efficient stirring (due to their initial thickness), and the like, at least in the early stages of the reaction. Once the reaction proceeds to any appreciable extent, the viscosity of the reaction system decreases and ease of mixing increases.

While the foregoing disclosure generally relates to a solvent-assisted method for preparing N-methyl polyhydroxy amines, such as N-methyl glucamine, as well as their fatty acid amide derivatives using fatty methyl esters, it is to be understood that variations are available which do not depart from the spirit and scope of this invention.
  • reducing sugars such as fructose, galactose, mannose, maltose and lactose, as well as sugar sources such as high dextrose corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup and high maltose corn syrup, and the like, can be used, to prepare the polyhydroxyamine material (i.e., to replace glucamine) of the reaction.

  • the present process is particularly useful when prepar- ing the longer-chain (e.g., C l ⁇ ) and unsaturated fatty acid polyhydroxy amides, since the relatively mild reaction temperatures and conditions herein afford the desired products with minimal by-product formation.
  • a pre-formed portion of the polyhydroxy fatty acid amide surfactant can be used to assist initiation of the R-2 amide-forming reaction when triglycerides or the longer-chain methyl esters are used as reactants. Furthermore, use of propylene glycol, or glycerine, or preformed mono esters thereof, can assist in initiation of the R-2 reaction, as well. It has further been determined that surfactant yields in the R-2 process can be increased by simply storing the solidified product (which contains some minor amount of entrained solvent and reactants) e.g., at 50'C, for a few hours after removal from the reaction vessel. Storage in this manner apparently allows the last fraction of unreacted starting materials to continue to form the desired polyhydroxy fatty acid amide surfactant. Thus, yields can be increased appreciably, i.e., to a high degree of completion, which is an important consideration in large-scale industrial processes.
  • the invention encompasses the use of the above-described surfactant products of the overall R-l plus R-2 process to prepare fully-formulated detergent compositions using a wide variety of surfactants, builders and optional detersive adjuncts and other ingredients well-known to detergent formulators can be used in such compositions, all at conventional usage levels. Accordingly, the present invention also encompasses a process for preparing a fully-formulated laundry detergent composition, or the like, comprising admixing the solvent-containing reaction product of the polyhydroxy fatty acid amide-forming R-2 reaction with otherwise conventional detersive surfactants and detersive adjuncts.
  • the polyhydroxy fatty acid amides are, by virtue of their amide bond, subject to some instability under highly basic or highly acidic conditions. While some decomposition can be tolerated, it is preferred that these materials not be subjected to pH's above about 11, preferably 10, nor below about 3 for unduly extended periods. Final product pH (liquids) is typically 7.0-9.0 and up to about 10.5 or 11 for solids. During the manufacture of the polyhydroxy fatty acid amides it will typically be necessary to at least partially neutralize the base catalyst used to form the amide bond. While any acid can be used for this purpose, the detergent formulator will recognize that it is a simple and convenient matter to use an acid which provides an anion that is otherwise useful and desirable in the finished detergent composition.
  • citric acid can be used for purposes of neutralization and the resulting citrate ion (ca. 1%) be allowed to remain with a ca. 40% polyhydroxy fatty acid amide slurry and be pumped into the later manufacturing stages of the overall detergent-manufacturing process.
  • the acid forms of materials such as oxydisuccinate, nitrilotriacetate, ethylenediaminetetraacetate, tartrate/succinate, and the like, can be used similarly.
  • the polyhydroxy fatty acid amides derived from coconut alkyl fatty acids are more soluble than their tallow alkyl (predominantly C 16 -C l ⁇ ) counterparts. Accordingly, the C 12 -C 14 materials are somewhat easier to formulate in liquid compositions, and are more soluble in cool-water laundering baths. However, the C I6 -C 18 materials are also quite useful, especially under circumstances where warm-to-hot wash water is used. Indeed, the C 16 -C 18 materials may be better detersive surfactants than their C 12 -C 14 counterparts. Accordingly, the formulator may wish to balance ease-of- anufacture vs. performance when selecting a particular polyhydroxy fatty acid amide for use in a given formulation.
  • solubility of the polyhydroxy fatty acid amides can be increased by having points of unsaturation and/or chain branching in the fatty acid moiety.
  • materials such as the polyhydroxy fatty acid amides derived from oleic acid and iso-stearic acid are more soluble than their n-alkyl counterparts.
  • polyhydroxy fatty acid amides prepared from disaccharides, trisaccharides, etc. will ordinarily be greater than the solubility of their monosaccharide-derived counterpart materials. This higher solubility can be of particular assistance when formulating liquid compositions.
  • polyhydroxy fatty acid amides wherein the polyhydroxy group is derived from maltose appear to function especially well as detergents when used in combination with conventional alkylbenzene sulfonate ("LAS") surfactants.
  • LAS alkylbenzene sulfonate
  • the polyhydroxy fatty acid amides can be manufactured not only from the purified sugars, but also from hydrolyzed starches, e.g., corn starch, potato starch, or any other convenient plant- derived starch which contains the mono-, di-, etc. saccharide desired by the formulator. This is of particular importance from the economic standpoint. Thus, "high glucose” corn syrup, "high maltose” corn syrup, etc. can conveniently and economically be used. De-lignified, hydrolyzed cellulose pulp can also provide a raw material source for the polyhydroxy fatty acid amides.
  • polyhydroxy fatty acid amides derived from the higher saccharides such as maltose, lactose, etc.
  • the more soluble polyhydroxy fatty acid amides can help solubilize their less soluble counterparts, to varying degrees.
  • the formulator may elect to use a raw material comprising a high glucose corn syrup, for example, but to select a syrup which contains a modicum of maltose (e.g., 1% or more).
  • the resulting mixture of polyhydroxy fatty acids will, in general, exhibit more preferred solubility properties over a broader range of temperatures and concentrations than would a "pure" glucose- derived polyhydroxy fatty acid amide.
  • the polyhydroxy fatty acid amides prepared from mixed sugars can offer very substantial advantages with respect to performance and/or ease-of-formulation.
  • some loss of grease removal performance may be noted at fatty acid maltamide levels above about 25% and some loss in sudsing above about 33% (said percentages being the percentage of maltamide-derived polyhydroxy fatty acid amide vs. glucose-derived polyhydroxy fatty acid amide in the mixture). This can vary somewhat, depending on the chain length of the fatty acid moiety.
  • the formulator electing to use such mixtures may find it advantageous to select polyhydroxy fatty acid amide mixtures which contain ratios of monosaccharides (e.g., glucose) to di- and higher saccharides (e.g., maltose) from about 4:1 to about 99:1. It has now been determined that it may be convenient for the formulator of, for example, liquid detergents to conduct such processes in 1,2-propylene glycol solvent, since the glycol solvent need not be completely removed from the reaction product prior to use in the finished detergent formulation.
  • monosaccharides e.g., glucose

Abstract

On fait réagir des amines, telles que la méthylamine, avec des matières telles que des sucres réducteurs dans des solvants à base d'amine ou d'amine/eau pour préparer des amines N-alkyle polyhydroxy. On fait donc réagir du glucose avec de la méthylamine et le produit d'addition résultant est hydrogéné pour obtenir de la N-méthylglucamine. On peut ensuite faire réagir les polyhydroxyamines N-alkyle avec des esters gras pour obtenir des amides polyhydroxy de l'acide gras qui sont utiles en tant que tensioactifs détersifs. On peut ainsi obtenir des tensioactifs détersifs à partir de précurseurs non pétrochimiques tels que des sucres et de sources de sucre telles que le sirop de maïs, et d'esters d'acide gras pouvant être dérivés de diverses graisses et huiles.
