(Herein, the iodine value of a "parent" fatty acid, or "corresponding" fatty acid, is an unsaturated group present in a fatty acid containing the same R ¹ group as above. Quot; means the level of unsaturation of the R < ¹ > group.

The counter ion X ^(-) may be any softener-compatible anion, preferably an anion of a strong acid, such as chloride, bromide, methyl sulfate, sulfate, nitrate, . The anion may also have a lesser charge, more preferably X ^(-) representing a half group.

Preferred biodegradable quaternary ammonium fabric softening compounds are derived from unsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as oleic acid, and / or partially hydrogenated fatty acids, and also vegetable oils and / or partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, (O) CR ¹ , which is derived from canola oil, safflower oil, peanut oil, sunflower oil, corn oil, soybean oil, tall oil, rice bran oil and the like. Non-limiting examples of DEQA prepared from the preferred fatty acids have the following suitable distribution:

Fatty acid group

Mixtures of fatty acids derived from different fatty acids and mixtures of DEQA can be used, which is preferred. Non-limiting examples of DEQA that can be mixed to form the DEQA of the present invention are as follows:

DEQA ¹⁰ is made from soybean fatty acid, and DEQA ¹¹ is made from slightly hydrogenated resin fatty acids.

Optionally, but preferably, the group R < ¹ > may comprise, for at least part of it, a branched chain, for example from isostearic acid. The sum of the active ingredient components, expressed as a branched chain, is generally from about 1 to about 90%, preferably from about 10 to about 70%, more preferably from about 20 to about 50%, if present.

DEQA ¹² to DEQA ¹⁴ are prepared from different commercially available isostearic acids.

More preferred DEQA's are those produced as a single DEQA from a mixture of all the different fatty acids presented (whole fatty acid mixture), rather than from a mixture of mixtures of the respective final DEQA made from different parts of the total fatty acid mixture.

It is preferred that at least a number of, for example, about 50 to about 100%, preferably about 55 to about 95%, and more preferably about 60 to about 90% of the fatty acid groups are unsaturated and that the polyunsaturated fatty acyl (TPU) of the activator material containing groups is preferably from about 3 to about 30%, preferably from about 5 to about 25%, more preferably from about 10 to about 18%.

(Herein, the "percentage of softener actives" containing a given R ¹ group is equal to the percentage of all R ¹ groups used to form all softener actives).

The unsaturated, preferably polyunsaturated, fatty acyl groups described hereinbefore and hereinafter provide surprisingly effective softening and also provide good re-wettability, good antistatic properties and, in particular, excellent recovery after freezing and thawing.

Highly unsaturated materials are also easy to prepare with concentrated premixes that maintain their low-viscosity and thus are easy to process such as injection, mixing, and the like. Typically, the solvent combined with the material is added in a small amount, i.e., from about 5 to about 20%, preferably from about 8 to about 25%, more preferably from about 10 to about 20%, based on the weight of the total softener / % Of the polyunsaturated material is also easy to prepare in the concentrated, stable composition of the present invention at ambient temperature. The ability to treat the activator material at low temperatures is particularly important for multiple unsaturation because it minimizes degradation. Another protection against degradation can be provided where the compounds and softener compositions contain effective antioxidants, chelating agents and / or reducing agents as described below.

The present invention relates to compounds of formula (I) wherein each Y is preferably -O- (O) C-, - (R) N- Is -O- (O) C-, m is 2 or 3, preferably 2, each n is 1 to 4, preferably 2, and each R substituent is H or C _1-6 alkyl , Preferably methyl, ethyl, propyl, benzyl groups and mixtures thereof, more preferably a C _1-3 alkyl group, and each R ¹ or YR ¹ hydrophobic group is saturated, C _8-14 , preferably C _{12 -14} hydrocarbyl, or a substituted hydrocarbyl substituent group (IV is preferably less than or equal to about 10, more preferably less than about 5), the sum of carbon in the hydrophobic group being the R < ¹ & Is the number of carbons in the YR ¹ group when O- (O) C- or - (R) N- (O) C-, the counter ion X ^- A heavy chain biodegradable quaternary ammonium fabric softening compound having the formula (2), DEQA as a preferred component There.

The saturated C _8-14 fatty acyl group may be a pure derivative or may have a mixed chain length.

Suitable fatty acid sources of the fatty acyl groups are coco, lauric, caprylic and capric.

In the case of a C _12-14 (or C _11-13 ) hydrocarbyl group, the group is preferably saturated, for example, the IV is preferably about 10 or less, more preferably about 5 or less.

Substituents R and R < ¹ > may be optionally substituted with a number of groups such as alkoxyl or hydroxyl groups, and may be straight or branched so long as the R < ¹ > The preferred compounds can be regarded as biodegradable diester variants of di-resin dimethyl ammonium chloride (hereinafter referred to as " DTDMAC "), a fabric softener widely used.

The preferred long chain DEQA comprises a high content of polyunsaturated, i.e., N, N-di (acyl-oxyethyl) -N, N-di N-dimethylammonium chloride. ≪ / RTI > Another preferred long chain DEQA is DEQA, the main component of which is diol rail (indicated) DEQA, i.e., N, N-di (oleoyl-oxyethyl) -N, N-dimethylammonium chloride. Preferred sources of fatty acids for DEQA are vegetable oils and / or partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, such as those having a high content of unsaturated groups such as oleyl groups. Particularly preferred heavy chain DEQA is dicocoyl DEQA (derived from coconut fatty acid), i.e. N, N-di (coco-oil-oxyethyl) -N, N-dimethylammonium chloride (hereinafter referred to as DEQA ⁶ ) N, N-di (lauroyl-oxyethyl) -N, N-dimethylammonium chloride.

Specifically, the diesters used herein may include the existing monoesters. Preferably, at least about 80% of the DEQA is in the diester form and 0 to about 20% is the DEQA monoester of formula 1, wherein m is 2 and one YR ¹ group is H or -C (O) OH. have. The corresponding diamide and / or mixed ester-amide may comprise an activator wherein one long chain hydrophobic group, for example one YR 'group, is -N (R) H, or -C (O) OH. For the sake of flexibility, under non-low detergent transport laundry conditions, the proportion of monoester should be as low as possible, preferably about 5%. However, under high, anionic detergent surfactant or detergent former delivery conditions, some monoester may be preferred. The total ratio of diester to monoester is from about 100: 1 to about 2: 1, preferably from about 50: 1 to about 5: 1, more preferably from about 13: 1 to about 8: 1. Under high detergent carryover conditions, the di / monoester ratio is preferably about 11: 1. The amount of monoester present can be controlled in the production of DEQA.

The compounds used as biodegradable quaternary ester-amine softening materials in the practice of the present invention can be prepared using standard reaction chemistry. In one synthesis of a diester variant of DTDMAC, an amine of the formula RN (CH ₂ CH ₂ OH) ₂ (wherein R is, for example, alkyl) is reacted with two R ¹ C (O) Cl to form an amine (one R is H), which is one form of softening agent capable of forming a cation by acidification, or is then quaternized with an alkyl halide of formula RX to form the desired reaction product Wherein R and R < ¹ > are as defined above. However, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that such reaction sequences broadly encompass the selection of reagents to be prepared.

Another DEQA softener active suitable for the preparation of the concentrated, clear liquid fabric softener composition of the present invention has the formula 1 wherein one R group is a C _1-4 hydroxyalkyl group, preferably one R group is a hydroxyethyl group . An example of such a hydroxyethyl ester activator is di (acyloxyethyl) (2-hydroxyethyl) methylammonium methyl sulfate (hereinafter referred to as DEQA ⁸ ) whose acyl group is the same as that of DEQA ¹ .

(2) DEQA of the second type has the following formula:

(2)

Wherein each of Y, R, R ¹ and X ^(-) is the same as defined above.

Such compound has the formula ^{_{[CH 3] 3 N (+}} ) [CH 2 CH (CH 2 O (O) CR 1) O (O) CR 1] Cl (-) ( wherein, each R is a methyl or ethyl group , Preferably R < ¹ > is in the range C _15-19 ). Within the alkyl or alkenyl chains, certain branching and substitution can be present. The anion X ^(-) in the molecule is the same as in DEQA in the above formula (1 ⁾ . As used herein, when a diester is embodied, it may comprise an existing monoester. The amount of the monoester which can be present is the same as in the DEQA of the above formula (1). An example of a preferred DEQA of formula 2 above is an active "propyl" ester quaternary ammonium fabric softener active having acyl groups with the same formula 1,2-di (acyloxy) -3-trimethylammonio propane chloride as DEQA ⁵ , And then DEQA ⁹ .

U.S. Patent 4,137,180 (Naik et al.) (January 30, 1979), which is incorporated herein by reference, discloses reagents of the above type and their conventional methods of preparation.

In the preferred softener activators (I) and (II), each R ¹ is a hydrocarbyl group, or a substituted hydrocarbyl group, preferably an alkyl, monounsaturated alkenyl, and polyunsaturated alkenyl group, Is at least about 3%, preferably at least about 5%, more preferably at least about 10%, and even more preferably at least about 15%, based on the weight of the total softener active present. Said activator preferably contains a mixture of R < ^{1 >} groups especially in the individual molecules and, optionally and preferably, however, said saturated R < ¹ > Wherein the total amount of activator material represented by the branching group is from about 1 to about 90%, preferably from about 10 to about 70%, more preferably from about 20 to about 50%. DEQA herein may contain low levels of fatty acids, which may be formed from unreacted starting materials used to form DEQA and / or by-products of any partial decomposition (hydrolysis) of the softener actives in the final composition . The concentration of the free fatty acid is preferably low, and is preferably not more than about 10%, and more preferably not more than about 5%, based on the weight of the fabric softener activator.

II. Main solvent system

The composition of the present invention contains, in relation to its weight, about 40% or less of the main solvent, preferably about 10 to about 35%, more preferably about 12 to about 25%, and even more preferably about 14 to about 20%. The main solvent is selected to minimize the solvent odor impact in the composition and to provide a low-viscosity to the final composition. For example, isopropyl alcohol is not very effective and has a strong odor. The n-propyl alcohol is more effective, but also has a pronounced smell. In addition, various butyl alcohols have an odor, but can be used for effective transparency / stability when used as part of a main solvent system to minimize their odor. The alcohol is also selected for optimal low temperature stability. That is, they are compositions that are liquids that are acceptable low-viscosity, and which are translucent, preferably transparent, at or below about 40 ° F (about 4.4 ° C) and which can be recovered after storage at about 20 ° F (about 6.7 ° C) .

In the present application, the suitability of the main solvent for preparing a liquid, concentrated, preferably transparent, fabric softener composition with the required stability is surprisingly selective. Suitable solvents can be selected based on their octanol / water partition coefficient (P). The octanol / water partition coefficient of the main solvent is the ratio between the equilibrium concentration in octanol and water. The partition coefficient of the main solvent component of the present invention is conveniently given in terms of their logarithm to base 10, logP.

The log P of many components is reported. For example, the Pomona 92 database available from Daylite Chemical Information Systems, Inc. of Irvine, Calif. (Daylite CIS), Calif., Contains a number of citations to the initial literature. However, the logP value is also most conveniently calculated by the " CLOGP " program available from Daylight CIS. The program also presents an experimental logP value, as long as the logP value is available in the Pomona 92 database. The " calculated logP " (ClogP) can be calculated using the fractional approach by Hanse and Leo (A. Leo, in Comprehensive Medicinal Chemistry, Vol. 4, C. Hansch, PG Sammens, JB Taylor and CA Ramsden, Eds. p. 295, Pergamon Press, 1990). The fragmented approach is based on the chemical structure of each component, taking into account the number and type of atoms, atomic bonding and chemical bonding. The most reliable and widely used ClogP value for evaluating the physicochemical properties is preferably used in place of the experimental logP value in selecting the main solvent component useful in the present invention. Other methods that can be used to calculate ClogP include, for example, those described in J. J. Chem. Inf. Comput. Sci., 27, 21 (1987); J. Chem. Inf. Comput. Sci., 29, 163 (1989); And Eur. J. Med. Chem.-Chim. Theor., 19, 71 (1984).

Herein, the main solvent is selected from those having a ClogP of about 0.15 to about 0.64, preferably about 0.25 to about 0.62, and more preferably about 0.40 to about 0.60, and is preferably asymmetric, and preferably at room temperature Or a melting point or solidification point which becomes a liquid near room temperature. Biodegradable solvents having a low molecular weight are also preferable for some purposes. While highly asymmetric solvents are highly desirable, highly symmetrical solvents with symmetrical centers, such as 1,7-heptanediol or 1,4-bis (hydroxymethyl) cyclohexane, have a ClogP value within their preferred range If used alone, it can not provide an essentially transparent composition when used alone. The most suitable main solvent is a composition comprising about 27% of di (oleoyloxyethyl) dimethyl ammonium chloride, about 16 to 20% of the main solvent, and about 4 to 6% of ethanol is transparent during storage at about 40 ℉ (about 4.4 캜) , And whether it is recovered after freezing at about 0 ° F (about -18 ° C).

The most preferred main solvent is identified by the appearance of the freeze-dried dilution treatment composition used to treat the fabric. The diluent composition has a dispersion of fabric softener exhibiting a good monolayer appearance as compared to conventional fabric softener compositions. As the appearance approaches the single layer, the performance of the composition is improved. The composition provides very good fabric softening compared to similar compositions prepared in the customary manner with the same fabric softener activators as above. The composition also provides improved flavor deposit, especially when added to the composition at room temperature or near room temperature, as compared to conventional compositions for fabric softening.

The main solvents that can be used are listed below under various headings, for example aliphatic and / or alicyclic diols having certain carbon atoms; Monool; Derivatives of glycerin; Diol is an alkoxylate; And mixtures thereof. The preferred main solvents are shown in italic type and the most preferred main solvents are shown in bold type. Reference numbers are Chemical Abstracts Service Registry numbers (CAS No.) for compounds having the above numbers. The novel compounds have methods as described below which can be used to prepare the above compounds. In addition, for comparison purposes, some main solvents that are not available are also shown below. However, the unusable main solvent may be used as a mixture with a usable main solvent. Usable main solvents may be used to prepare concentrated fabric softener compositions that meet the stability / transparency conditions set forth herein.

XI. Its mixture

There is no C _1-2 mono-ol providing a clear, thickened fabric softener composition of the present invention. Although only one C ₃ mono-ol, n-propanol has a low boiling point (BP), the boiling point (BP) is preferably low (forming a transparent product and being kept transparent at a temperature of about 4 캜, Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > recovered < / RTI > Among C ₄ monools, only 2-butanol and 2-methyl-2-propanol provide very good performance, but 2-methyl-2-propanol has a low BP. Except for the unsaturated mono-ols described above and below, there is no C _5-6 mono-ol providing a clear product.

Some main solvents having two hydroxyl groups in the formula are known to be suitable for use in preparing liquid, concentrated, clear fabric softener compositions according to the present invention. The suitability of each main solvent has surprisingly been found to be highly selective, depending on the number of carbon atoms, the isomerization of the molecules having the same number of carbon atoms, the degree of unsaturation, and the like. The main solvent having a solubility characteristic similar to that of the main solvent and having at least some asymmetry will provide the same advantages as above. Suitable suitable solvents have a ClogP of from about 0.15 to about 0.64, preferably from about 0.25 to about 0.62, and more preferably from about 0.40 to about 0.60.

For example, for a 1,2-alkanediol masterbatch series having the formula HO-CH ₂ -CHOH- (CH ₂ ) _n -H where n is 1 to 8, an effective range of about 0.15 to about 0.64 Only 1,2-hexanediol (n = 4) having a ClogP value of about 0.53 in the ClogP range is a good main solvent and is within the scope of the present invention, but has an effective range of, for example, 0.15 to 0.64 1,2-propanediol, 1,2-butanediol, 1,2-pentanediol, 1,2-octanediol, and 1,2-decanediol having exiting ClogP values are not good main solvents. Among the isomers of hexanediol, 1,2-hexanediol is a preferred main solvent, and 1,3-hexanediol, 1,4-hexanediol, 1, 2-hexanediol, and the like having a ClogP value outside the effective range of 0.15 to 0.64, 5-hexanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, 2,4-hexanediol and 2,5-hexanediol are not good main solvents. This is illustrated in the Examples and Comparative Examples IA and IB (see below).

In addition to the aliphatic diol-based solvents described above and below, and some alkoxylated derivatives thereof, certain diol ethers have also been found to be suitable as the main solvent for the preparation of the liquid, concentrated, clear fabric softener compositions of the present invention. Similar to the aliphatic diol main solvent, the suitability of each main solvent was found to be highly selective, depending on the number of carbon atoms in the particular diol ether molecule. For example, in the case of the glyceryl ether series having the formula HOCH ₂ -CHOH-CH ₂ -OR (wherein R is C _2-8 alkyl), as shown in Table 6 above, only HOCH ₂ - Only monopentyl ether (3-pentyloxy-1,2-propanediol) having CHOH-CH ₂ -OC ₅ H ₁₁ , wherein the C ₅ H ₁₁ group includes different pentyl isomers, ClogP value in the ClogP value and is suitable for preparing the liquid, concentrated, clear fabric softener of the present invention. In addition, cyclohexyl derivatives, which are not cyclopentyl derivatives, have proven to be suitable. Similarly, selectivity is shown when the aryl glyceryl ether is selected. Of the many possible aromatic groups, a small number of phenol derivatives are suitable.

This narrow selectivity is also found in di (hydroxyalkyl) ethers. Bis (2-hydroxybutyl) ether, which is not a bis (2-hydroxypentyl) ether, has proven to be suitable. In the case of di (cyclic hydroxyalkyl) analogs, bis (2-hydroxycyclopentyl) ether, which is not bis (2-hydroxycyclohexyl) ether, is suitable. Non-limiting examples of synthetic methods for the preparation of some preferred di (hydroxyalkyl) ethers are set forth below.

Butyl monoglycerol ether (also 3-butyloxy-1,2-propanediol) is not well suited for forming the liquid, concentrated, clear fabric softener of the present invention. However, polyethoxylated derivatives thereof, preferably about triethoxylated to about non-ethoxylated derivatives, more preferably pentaethoxylated or octaethoxylated derivatives, as shown in Table 6 above, Suitable as main solvent.

The primary alcohol solvent is also preferably 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-hexanediol, 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol, 2-hexanediol, and mixtures thereof. More preferably, the primary alcohol solvent is selected from the group consisting of 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol, 2-methyl-2-propyl-1,3-propanediol, 1,2-hexanediol, . Even more preferably, the primary alcohol solvent is selected from the group consisting of 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol, 1,2-hexanediol, and mixtures thereof.

Many derivatives of the diols having different alkyleneoxy groups can be used, for example 2-methyl-2,3-butanediol having 3 to 5 ethyleneoxy groups or 2 propyleneoxy groups or 1 butyleneoxy group , It is preferable to use a derivative having the smallest number of groups, that is, a derivative having one butyleneoxy group in the above case. However, when only about 1 to about 4 ethyleneoxy groups are required in providing good formability, the above derivatives are also preferred.

Unsaturated diol

Surprisingly, it has been found that there is a clear similarity between the solubility (formability) of a saturated diol and its unsaturated homologue, or analog, with a higher molecular weight. If the unsaturated main solvent has one additional methylene (i. E., CH ₂ ) group for each double bond in the chemical structure, then the unsaturated homologue / analog has the same formulation as the aminated main solvent. In other words, for each good saturated main solvent of the present invention, a clear, concentrated fabric softener composition is a clear "addition rule of" suitable for formulation and the presence of, as adding one or more CH ₂ groups, with respect to each of the CH ₂ was added , Two hydrogen atoms are removed from adjacent carbon atoms in the molecule to form one carbon-carbon double bond, thereby maintaining a constant number of hydrogen atoms in the molecule as compared to the chemical structure of the " parent & There is an unsaturated main solvent. This is because adding the -CH ₂ - group to the solvent chemistry structure has the effect of increasing the ClogP value thereof by about 0.53, while removing two adjacent hydrogen atoms to form a double bond has almost the same Clogp value, That is, due to the surprising fact that CH ₂ - addition is nearly compensated by having an effect of reducing by about 0.48. Therefore, as long as the ClogP value of the new solvent is within the range of 0.15 to 0.64, preferably from about 0.25 to about 0.62, and more preferably from about 0.40 to about 0.60, which is an effective value, _A preferred unsaturated main solvent is used which contains one or more carbon atoms by adding one double bond to the _two groups so that the total number of hydrogen atoms remains the same as in the main saturated solvent. The following is an illustrative example:

(CAS No. 140192-39-8) is a preferred C9-diol main solvent, and the following preferable C8-diol main solvent: 2-methyl-1,3 -Heptanediol or 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-hexanediol, respectively, by appropriately adding one CH ₂ group and one double bond.

(CAS No. 116103-35-6) is a preferred C9-diol main solvent, and the following preferable C8-diol main solvent: 2- (1-ethyl-1-propenyl) -Ethylpropyl) -1, 3-propanediol or 2- (1-methylpropyl) -1, 3-butanediol by appropriately adding one CH ₂ group and one double bond to each .

(CAS No. 104683-37-6) is a preferred C9-diol main solvent, and the following preferable C8-diol main solvent: 3-ethyl-2-methyl -1,3-pentanediol or 2-ethyl-3-methyl-1,3-pentanediol, respectively, by appropriately adding one CH ₂ group and one double bond.

(For example, CAS No. 106777-99-5) is a preferred C9-diol main solvent, and the following preferable C8-diol main solvent: 3-methyl-5-heptene- -1,4-heptanediol; 6-methyl-1,4-heptanediol; Or by appropriately adding one CH ₂ group and one double bond to each of 3,5-dimethyl-1,4-hexanediol.

5,6-dimethyl-6-heptene-1,4-diol (for example, CAS No. 152344-16-6) is the preferred C9-diol main solvent and the following preferred C8- -1,4-heptanediol; 6-methyl-1,4-heptanediol; Or by appropriately adding one CH ₂ group and one double bond to each of 4,5-dimethyl-1,3-hexanediol.

4-methyl-6-octene-3,5-diol (CAS No. 156414-254) is the preferred C9-diol main solvent and the following preferred C8-diol main solvents: 3,5- 2,4-heptanediol or 4-methyl-3,5-heptanediol, respectively, by appropriately adding one CH ₂ group and one double bond.

Rosiridol (CAS No. 101391-01-9) and isorocylidol (CAS No. 149252-15-3) were prepared by reacting 3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadiene- 2 isomer, which is a preferred C1O-diol main solvent. These are the following preferred C8-diol main solvents: 2-methyl-1,3-heptanediol; 6-methyl-1,3-heptanediol; 3-methyl-1,4-heptanediol, 6-methyl-1,4-heptanediol, 2,5-dimethyl-1,3-hexanediol; Or by suitably adding two CH ₂ groups and two double bonds to each of 3,5-dimethyl-1,4-hexanediol.

For the same reasons, high molecular weight unsaturated homologues derived from inferior, unavailable saturated solvents are sometimes inferior solvents themselves. For example, 3,5-dimethyl-5-hexene-2,4-diol (e.g., CAS No. 160429-40-3) is a poorly unsaturated C8 solvent and is the following poorly saturated C7 solvent: 3-methyl -2, 4-hexanediol; 5-methyl-2,4-hexanediol; Or 2,4-dimethyl-1,3-pentanediol; 2,6-dimethyl-5-heptene-1,2-diol (e.g., CAS No. 141505-71-7) is an inferior unsaturated C9 solvent and the following inferior saturated C8 solvent: - heptanediol; 6-methyl-1,2-heptanediol; Or 2,5-dimethyl-1,2-hexanediol.

It has furthermore surprisingly been found that there is also an exception to this additional rule that the saturated main solvent always has an unsaturated analogue / homologue with the same degree of acceptability. The exception relates to a saturated diol main solvent having two hydroxy groups located on two adjacent carbon atoms. In some cases, although not always, inserting one or more CH ₂ groups between two adjacent hydroxy groups of an inferior solvent produces a high molecular weight unsaturated homologue that is more suitable for formulating a clear, thickened fabric softener. For example, the preferred unsaturated 6,6-dimethyl-1-heptene-3,5-diol (CAS No. 109788-01-4) without the adjacent hydroxyl group is 2,2-dimethyl- 4-hexanediol. ≪ / RTI > In the above case, 6,6-dimethyl-1-heptene-3,5-diol is a preferable main solvent and 2-methyl-3,5-heptanediol having no adjacent hydroxyl group or 5,5- -Hexanediol < / RTI > Conversely, inserting CH ₂ groups between adjacent hydroxyl groups of the preferred main solvent can produce unusable high molecular weight, unsaturated diol solvents. For example, unavailable unsaturated 2,4-dimethyl-5-hexene-2,4-diol (CAS No. 87604-24-8) without adjacent hydroxyl groups is a preferred 2,3-dimethyl- Pentanediol. ≪ / RTI > In the above case, unsaturated 2,4-dimethyl-5-hexene, which is unusable from either of the 2-methyl-2,4-hexanediol or 4-methyl- -2,4-diol. ≪ / RTI > Also, unavailable unsaturated solvents free of adjacent hydroxyl groups, such as 4,5-dimethyl-6-hexene-1,3-diol and 3,4-dimethyl-1,2-pentanediol, In some cases. Thus, in order to deduce the possibility of formulating an unsaturated solvent without adjacent hydroxyl groups, it should start with a low molecular weight saturated homologue without an adjacent hydroxyl group. That is, in general, the correlation is more certain when the distance / correlation of the two hydroxyls is maintained. That is, in order to deduce the possibility of forming a high molecular weight unsaturated homologue having an adjacent hydroxy group, it is sure to start from a saturated solvent having an adjacent hydroxy group.

It has been found that when using the specific primary alcohol solvent, a surprisingly low main solvent concentration, i.e. a clear, low viscosity, stable fabric softener composition at up to about 40% by weight of the composition can be prepared. In addition, when a primary alcohol solvent is used, it is also possible to produce a highly concentrated fabric softener composition that is stable, for example, can produce a low concentration of fabric softener that is still stable even when diluted to from about 2: 1 to about 10: 1 It turned out.

As described above, the main solvent is intended to be kept at the lowest practicable amount in the composition of the present invention for obtaining translucency or transparency. The presence of water exerts the significant effect required on the main solvent to obtain the transparency of the composition. The greater the water content, the greater the amount of main solvent (relative to the amount of softener) required to obtain product transparency. Conversely, the lower the water content, the less main solvent (compared to the amount of softener) is required. Thus, in a small amount of water from about 5% to about 15%, the weight ratio of the softener active to the main solvent is preferably from about 55:45 to about 85:15, more preferably from about 60:40 to about 80:15, 20. In an amount of water from about 15% to about 70%, the weight ratio of softener active: main solvent is preferably about 45:55 to about 70:30, more preferably about 55:45 to about 70:30. However, in a large amount of water from about 70% to about 80%, the weight ratio of softener active: main solvent is preferably about 30:70 to about 55:45, more preferably about 35:65 to about 45: 55. The greater the amount of water, the higher the ratio of softener: main solvent.

Particularly preferred is a mixture of said main solvents, since one of the problems associated with large amounts of solvent is safety. The mixtures reduce the amount of any one substance present. Especially when one of the main solvents is volatile and / or has an odor (low molecular weight material is often the case), odor and flame resistance can also be minimized by the commercial use of the mixture. Suitable solvents that can be used at a concentration that is not sufficient to produce a clear product are 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol; Ethoxylates, diethoxides, or triethoxylate derivatives of 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol; And / or 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol. For the purposes of the present invention, the solvents should only be used at concentrations which will not provide a stable or transparent product. Preferred mixtures are those in which most of the solvent has proven to be the most desirable in the prior art. In particular, when one or more preferred primary solvents are solid at room temperature, the use of solvent mixtures is also preferred. In the above case, the mixtures are liquid, or have a low melting point, thereby improving the processability of the softener composition.

As long as a usable effective amount of the main solvent (s) of the present invention is still present in the liquid concentrated, clear fabric softener composition, some of the main solvent or main solvent mixture of the present invention can be used alone as the main solvent of the present invention It is possible to substitute a mixture of the first solvent, the second solvent, or the second solvent. When about 15% or more of the softener activator is also present, the effective amount of the main solvent (s) of the present invention is at least about 5%, preferably at least about 7%, more preferably at least about 10% of the composition. The displacement solvent (s) may be used at all concentrations, but preferably in the fabric softener composition and below the amount of main solvent available as defined above.

For example, 1,2-pentanediol, 1,3-octanediol, and the following structural formula:

HO-CH ₂ -C (CH ₃ ) ₂ -CH ₂ -O-CO-C (CH ₃ ) ₂ -CH ₂ -OH (CAS #

(Hereinafter referred to as " HPHP ") is an unusable solvent according to the present invention, a mixture of the solvents and the main solvent, for example, the preferred 1,2-hexanediol main solvent The mixture with 1,2-hexanediol main solvent present in effective concentration also provides a liquid, concentrated, clear fabric softener composition.

Some of the secondary solvents that may be used are listed as some of the mother alkoxylation solvents described in Tables 8a-8b, as well as those not described above or described below.

The main solvent may be used to make the composition translucent or transparent, or the composition may be used to lower the translucent or transparent temperature. Thus, the present invention contemplates the addition of the main solvent at the concentrations indicated above to make the composition translucent or transparent to a composition that is either translucent or non-transparent or too high temperature at which instability appears, When the composition is transparent below the temperature, the method includes lowering the temperature at which the instability appears, preferably to about 5 DEG C or higher, more preferably to about 10 DEG C or higher. The main advantage of the main solvent is that it provides the greatest benefit for a given weight of solvent. As used herein, the term "solvent" refers to the effect of the main solvent and not to the physical form at a given temperature (some main solvents are solid at ambient temperature).

Alkyl lactate

Some alkyl lactate esters, such as ethyl lactate and isopropyl lactate, have ClogP values within the effective range of about 0.15 to about 0.64 and can be prepared using the fabric softener actives of the present invention, A softener composition can be formed, but needs to be used at a slightly higher concentration than an effective diol solvent such as 1,2-hexanediol. They may also be used to replace a portion of the other main solvent of the present invention to form a liquid, concentrated, clear fabric softener composition. This is illustrated in Example I-C.

Similarly, the unsaturated analogues of the main solvents which can be used are novel, especially unsaturated C _7-12 diols, more preferably unsaturated C _8-10 diols, with the exception of the specifically mentioned unsaturated diols listed in Table 9 above have. The main solvents all provide the unclear benefits described below.

III. Optional ingredient

(A) a low molecular weight water-soluble solvent

The low molecular weight water soluble solvent may also be used in an amount of from 0 to about 12%, preferably from about 1 to about 10%, more preferably from about 2 to about 8%. The water-soluble solvent can not provide a transparent product when used in a small amount as in the main solvent described above, but can provide a transparent product when the main solvent is insufficient to provide a completely transparent product. Therefore, the presence of the water-soluble solvent is highly desirable. Examples of the solvent include ethanol, isopropanol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-propanediol, propylene carbonate and the like, but does not include any main solvent (B). The water-soluble solvent has a better affinity for water in the presence of a hydrophobic substance such as a softener activator material as compared to the main solvent.

(B) bleach

The compositions of the present invention may also optionally contain from about 0.005 to 5% by weight of a particular type of hydrophilic optical bleaching agent having a dye transfer inhibiting action. When used, the composition of the present invention preferably contains about 0.001 to 1% by weight of the optical bleaching agent.

Hydrophilic optical bleaches useful in the present invention have the formula:

Wherein R ₁ is selected from anilino, N-2-bis-hydroxyethyl and NH-2-hydroxyethyl and R ₂ is selected from N-2-bis-hydroxyethyl, N-2- Ethyl-N-methylamino, morpholino, chloro and amino, and M is a salt-forming cation such as sodium or potassium.

When R ₁ is anilino, R ₂ is N-2-bis-hydroxyethyl and M is a cation such as sodium, the bleaching agent is 4,4'-bis [(4-anilino- 6- (N-2-bis-hydroxyethyl) -s-triazin-2-yl) amino] -2,2'-stilbenylsulfonic acid and its disodium salt. The specific bleaching agents are commercially available under the trade name Tinopal-UNPA-GX from Ciba-Geigy Corporation.

The chemical name and the CAS number of some of the stabilizers that may be used in the composition of the invention. Are shown in Table 1 below.

(E) Soil Release Agent (Soil Release Agent)

In the present invention, an optional dirt remover may be added. The addition of the soil remover may occur before or after the addition of the electrolyte, or after the final composition has been prepared, in combination with the premix, or in combination with an acid / water seat. The flexible composition prepared by the method of the present invention may contain 0 to about 10%, preferably 0.2 to about 5%, of the soil remover. Preferably, the dirt remover is a polymer. Polymeric soil removal agents useful in the present invention include block copolymers of terephthalate and polyethylene oxide or polypropylene oxide.

A preferred dirt remover is a copolymer comprising terephthalate and a polyethylene oxide block. More specifically, these polymers are composed of ethylene terephthalate units and polyethylene oxide terephthalate units in a molar ratio of from about 25:75 to about 35:65, and the molecular weight of the polyethylene oxide terephthalate having the polyethylene oxide block is from about 300 to about 2,000 . The molecular weight of the polymeric soil remover ranges from about 5,000 to about 55,000.

Another preferred polymeric scum remover comprises from about 10 to about 50 percent by weight of polyoxyethylene terephthalate units derived from polyoxyethylene glycols having an average molecular weight of from about 300 to about 6,000 and from about 10 to about 15 percent by weight of ethylene terephthalate units, As a repeating unit, and the molar ratio of the ethylene terephthalate unit to the polyoxyethylene terephthalate unit in the crystalline polymer compound is 2: 1 to 6: 1. Examples of such polymers are the commercially available materials Zelcon 4780 (DuPont) and Milease T (trade name) (ICI).

A highly preferred soil remover is a polymer having the formula:

In the formula, each X can be a suitable capping group, typically H and from about C ₁ to about C ₄ is selected from the group consisting of an alkyl group or an acyl group; p is selected for water-solubility and is usually from about 6 to about 113, preferably from about 20 to about 50; u is important for the preparation of liquid compositions having a relatively high ionic strength.

Substances with a u of 10 or more should be very small. In addition, the material with u of about 3 to about 5 should be at least about 20%, preferably at least about 40%.

The R ¹⁴ moiety is essentially a 1,4-phenylene moiety. The "R ¹⁴ moiety is basically a 1,4-phenylene moiety" means that the R ¹⁴ moiety consists entirely of 1,4-phenylene moieties, or other arylene or alkarylene moieties, Alkenylene moieties, or mixtures thereof. The arylene and alkarylene moieties which may be partially substituted for 1,4-phenylene include 1,3-phenylene, 1,2-phenylene, 1,8-naphthylene, 1,4-naphthylene , 2,2-biphenylene, 4,4-biphenylene, and mixtures thereof. Examples of alkylene and alkenylene moieties that may be partially substituted include 1,2-propylene, 1,4-butylene, 1,5-pentylene, 1,6-hexamethylene, 1,7-heptamethylene, Octamethylene, 1,4-cyclohexylene, and mixtures thereof.

The degree of partial substitution by the moiety other than 1,4-phenylene in the above-mentioned R ¹⁴ moiety should be such that it is not adversely affected by the dirt removing property of the compound. Typically, the degree of partial substitution that can be tolerated depends on the backbone length of the compound. That is, the longer backbone has a greater degree of partial substitution with respect to the 1,4-phenylene moiety. Typically, compounds wherein the R ¹⁴ moiety contains from about 50 to about 100% 1,4-phenylene moieties (0 to about 50% moieties other than 1,4-phenylene) have suitable scavenging activity. For example, a polyester produced according to the present invention having a molar ratio of isopthal (1,3-phenylene) acid to terephthalic (1,4-phenylene) acid of 40:60 has a suitable soil removal activity . However, since most of the polyesters used for fiber production contain ethylene terephthalate units, it is usually desirable to minimize the degree of partial substitution by a moiety other than 1,4-phenylene for the best dirt removing activity . Preferably, the R ¹⁴ moiety consists entirely of (ie, 100%) 1,4-phenylene moieties. That is, each R ¹⁴ moiety is 1,4-phenylene.

In the R ¹⁵ moiety, suitable ethylene or substituted ethylene moieties include ethylene, 1,2-propylene, 1,2-butylene, 1,2-hexylene, 3-methoxy- ≪ / RTI > Preferably, the R ¹⁵ moiety is essentially an ethylene moiety, a 1,2-propylene moiety, or a mixture thereof. The inclusion of a greater proportion of the ethylene moiety tends to increase the soil scavenging activity of the compound. Surprisingly, the inclusion of a higher proportion of the 1,2-propylene moiety tends to increase the water-solubility of the compound.

Therefore, the use of 1,2-propylene moieties or similar branched equivalents is desirable to incorporate any substantial amount of soil removal component into the liquid fabric softener composition. Preferably, about 75 to about 100% are 1,2-propylene moieties.

Each p value is about 6 or more, and preferably about 10 or more. Each n value typically ranges from about 12 to about 113. Typically, each p value ranges from about 12 to about 43.

A more detailed description of soil removers can be found in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,661,267 (Decker, Konig, Straathof and Gosselink) (Apr. 28, 1987), 4,711,730 (Gosselink and Diehl) 4,789,596 (Evans, Huntington, Stewart, Wolf and Zimmerer) (June 7, 1988), 4,818,569 (Trinh, Gosselink and Rattinger) (Apr. 4, 1989), 4,877,896 (Maldonado, Trinh and Gosselink) (Dec. 31, 1989), 4,956,447 (Gosselink et al.) (September 11, 1990) and 4,976,879 Lt; / RTI >

The soil remover may also act as a tail dispersant.

(F) Decay dispersant

In the present invention, the premix may be combined with any decolorant, rather than a soil remover, and then heated at the melting point of the component or above.

Preferred tail fin dispersants herein are formed by highly ethoxylating hydrophobic materials. The hydrophobic material may be a hydrophobic moiety used to form fatty alcohols, fatty acids, fatty amines, fatty acid amides, amine oxides, quaternary ammonium compounds, or soil scavenging polymers. The preferred tail free dispersant is highly ethoxylated. That is, the scum dispersant contains an average of about 17 moles or more, preferably about 25 moles or more, and more preferably about 40 moles or more of ethylene oxide per molecule, and the ratio of polyethylene oxide is about 76 to about 97%, preferably about 81 to about 94%.

The concentration of the decaying dispersant is such that under the conditions of use, the decay is sufficient to keep the consumer in an acceptable, preferably undetectable amount to the consumer, but not to adversely affect the flexibility. For some purposes, it is preferred that no dross is present. Anionic or nonionic detergent added to the fabric (laundry), depending on the amount of the anionic or nonionic detergent used in the washing cycle of a conventional laundry process, the efficiency of the rinse step prior to injecting the composition of the present invention, Nonionic detergents The amount of surfactants and detergent formers (especially phosphates and zeolites) is different. Typically, to avoid adversely affecting the flexural properties, a minimum amount of tail free dispersant should be used. Generally, a decaying dispersant of about 2% or more, preferably about 4% or more (more than 6%, and preferably, 10% or more, in order to maximize the prevention of dripping) is required for the amount of the softener active. However, when the amount is greater than about 10% (relative to the softener material), there is a risk that the softening efficacy of the product is lost, especially if the fabric contains a high proportion of the nonionic surfactant absorbed during the cleaning operation.

(I) chelating agent

The compositions and methods of the present invention may optionally employ one or more copper and / or nickel chelating agents in addition to the chelating agents that are part of the stabilizer. The water-soluble chelating agent may be selected from the group consisting of aminocarboxylates, aminophosphonates, polyfunctional-substituted aromatic chelating agents and mixtures thereof, and all of the following. The whiteness and / or luminosity of the fabric is sufficiently improved or restored by the chelating agent, and the stability of the material in the composition is improved.

Aminocarboxylates useful as chelating agents in the present invention include ethylenediamine tetraacetate (EDTA), N-hydroxyethylethylenediamine triacetate, nitrilotriacetate (NTA), ethylenediamine tetrapropionate, ethylenediamine- N, N'-disuccinate, triethylenetetraamine hexaacetate, diethylenetriaminepentaacetate (DETPA) and ethanol diglycine, and their water-soluble salts (For example, alkali metal salts, ammonium salts and substituted ammonium salts thereof), and mixtures thereof.

Amino phosphonates are also suitable for use as chelating agents in the compositions of the present invention, where at least a small total amount of phosphorus is permitted in the detergent composition, examples of which include ethylenediaminetetrakis (methylenephosphonate), diethylene Triamine-N, N, N ', N ", N" -pentakis (methanephosphonate) (DETMP) and 1-hydroxyethane-1,1-diphosphonate (HEDP).

The preferred EDDS (also known as ethylenediamine-N, N'-disuccinate) used in the present invention. The chelating agent is the material disclosed in the above-cited U.S. Patent No. 4,704,233 and is represented by the following formula: ):

As disclosed in the above patent, EDDS can be prepared using maleic anhydride and ethylenediamine. A preferred biodegradable [S, S] isomer of EDDS can be prepared by reacting L-aspartic acid with 1,2-dibromoethane. The EDDS is advantageous in chelating copper and nickel cations, available in biodegradable form, and has advantages over other chelating agents in that it does not contain phosphorus. The EDDS used as a chelating agent in the present invention is usually in the form of a salt in which at least one of four acidic hydrogens is replaced with a water-soluble cation M such as sodium, potassium, ammonium, triethanolammonium and the like. As described above, the EDDS chelating agent is also used in the rinse process of the present invention in an amount of from about 2 to about 25 ppm, typically during immersion for from 1 minute to several hours or less. At a particular pH, EDDS is preferably used in combination with a zinc cation.

Indeed, although not as effective as aminocarboxylates and phosphonates, simple polycarboxylates such as citrate, oxydisuccinate and the like can also be used on a weight basis. Thus, due to the different degree of chelation effect, the usage can be controlled. The chelating agent of the present invention has a stabilization constant of about 5 or more, preferably about 7 or more, for the copper ion (fully ionized chelating agent). Typically, the chelating agent comprises from about 0.5 to about 10%, more preferably from about 0.75 to about 5%, of the weight of the composition of the present invention, in addition to the chelating agent in the stabilizing agent. Preferred chelating agents are DETMP, DETPA, NTA, EDDS and mixtures thereof.

Manufacture of main solvent

Preparation of Diol Main Solvent

Many diol synthesis solvents of the present invention can be prepared using a variety of synthetic methods. Suitable methods are selected according to the specific structural requirements of each main solvent. Moreover, most of the main solvent may be prepared by one or more methods. Therefore, the method recited herein for each particular primary solvent is for purposes of illustration only and is not intended to be limiting.

Method A

Preparation of 1,5-, 1,6-, and 1,7-diols

Method 1

This synthetic method is generally a general method for preparing an α, ω-type diol derived from a substituted cyclic alkene. Examples of cyclic alkenes are the alkylated isomers of cyclopentene, cyclohexene, and cycloheptene. The general formula of useful alkylated cyclic alkenes is:

Wherein each R is H or C ₁ -C ₄ -alkyl and x is 3, 4 or 5,

The cyclic alkene can be converted to a terminal diol by a three step reaction sequence.

Step 1 is to react the ozone (O ₃ ) with the cyclic alkene in a solvent such as anhydrous ethyl acetate to form the intermediate ozone. Step 2 is to reduce the ozone by, for example, palladium catalyst / H ₂ to form dialdehyde, which is converted to the target diol by borohydride reduction in step 3.

The 1,2-diol is generally prepared by direct hydrolysis of an appropriately substituted olefin. For example:

Wherein each R is H, alkyl, etc.

In a typical reaction, the alkene is reacted with hydrogen peroxide (30%) and a catalytic amount of osmium tetraoxide in t-butyl alcohol or other suitable solvent. The reaction is cooled to about 0 < 0 > C and left overnight. Unreacted compounds and solvent are removed by distillation and the desired 1,2-diol is isolated by distillation or crystallization.

Method 2 An alternative method is to convert olefins to epoxides by reaction of m-chloroperbenzoic acid, or peracetic acid in a solvent such as methylene chloride at a temperature less than about 25 < 0 > C. The chemically produced epoxide is then hydrolyzed, for example, with dilute sulfuric acid, and then opened with a diol.

Step 3 forms the desired diol by borohydride reduction.

Method 3

An alternative method of preparing these compounds is to directly hydrolyze hydrogen peroxide and catalytic amounts of osmium tetraoxide and cyclic alkenes. The reaction produces a cyclic diol that is converted to an open chain dialdehyde by periodate or lead tetraacetate. The dialdehyde is then reduced to the borohydride as in Method 1 to produce the desired 1,5- or 1,6-diol and the like.

Method B

Production of 1,2-diols

Method 1

Method C

Preparation of 1,3-diols

Acylation of enamines

This process relates to the general form of 1,3-diols and accepts various structural features. Enamine is formed from both ketones and aldehydes and reacts with acid chlorides to form the acylated product. The acylated amine derivative is hydrolyzed to its acylated carbonyl compound, which is a 1,3-dicarbonyl precursor to the desired 1,3-diol. Diols are formed by the borohydride reduction of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds.

Thus, acetaldehyde (aldehydes) can be reacted with a secondary amine, preferably a cyclic amine such as pyrrolidine or morpholine, and a catalytic amount of p-toluenesulfonic acid in a solvent such as toluene. As the amine reacts (condenses) with the carbonyl compound, water is formed and is removed, for example, by refluxing through a water trap. After removing the theoretical amount of water, the reaction mixture is stripped off, for example, under vacuum, if necessary (acylation can in most cases be carried out in the same solvent system) to remove the solvent.

The crude aniline amine containing some excess amine reacts with the appropriate acid chloride at about 20 < 0 > C to produce the acylated enamine. This reaction is generally allowed to stir overnight at room temperature. The entire reaction mixture is then poured onto crushed ice, stirred, and the mixture is acidified with 20% HCl. This treatment hydrolyzes the enamine to an acylated dicarbonyl compound. The intermediate is then isolated by distillation to remove impurities with low extraction and boiling point, followed by reduction with sodium borohydride to produce the desired 1,3-diol.

Method D

Production of 1,4-diol by aldol condensation and reduction

Typical reactions include one or more aldehydes, one or more ketones, and mixtures thereof, which have at least one alpha hydrogen atom at the carbon atom adjacent to the carbonyl group. Typical examples of several reactants and several potential end products are:

2R-CH ₂ -CHO - HO-CH ₂ -CH (R) -CHOH-CH ₂ -R

R-CH ₂ -CHO + R'-CH ₂ -CHO-HO-CH ₂ -CH (R) -CHOH-CH ₂ -R +

HO-CH ₂ -CH (R ') - CHOH-CH ₂ -R' +

HO-CH ₂ -CH (R ') - CHOH-CH ₂ -R +

HO-CH ₂ -CH (R) -CHOH-CH ₂ -R '

R-CH ₂ -CHO + R'-CO-CH ₃ ➝ HO-CH ₂ -CH (R) -CHOH-CH ₂ -R +

R-CH ₂ -CHOHCH ₂ -CHOH-R '

The aldehyde, ketone, or mixture thereof to be condensed is placed in an autoclave under inert atmosphere with a solvent such as butanol or a phase transfer medium such as polyethylene glycol. When mixed condensation of a ketone and an aldehyde is the object, typically two reactants are used in a molar ratio of about 1: 1. A strongly alkaline catalyst, such as a catalytic amount of sodium methoxide, is typically added in an amount of about 0.5-10 mole percent of the reactants. The autoclave is sealed and the mixture is heated at about 35-100 DEG C, generally for about 5 minutes to about 3 hours, until most of the raw reactants are converted. The crude mixture is neutralized and the carbonyl functionality present is hydrogenated and reduced on Raney Ni at about 100 < 0 > C and about 50 atmospheres for about 1 hour. The volatile components are removed by distillation and the desired diol solvent is obtained by vacuum distillation.

A mixture of butyraldehyde (about 72 grams, about 1 mole, Aldrich) and isobutyraldehyde (about 72 grams, about 1 mole, Aldrich) was then added and the system continued until the majority of the initial aldehyde had gone to about 40 degrees C . The base catalyst was neutralized by careful addition of sulfuric acid and the salts were removed by filtration and the solution was hydrogenated over Raney Ni at about 100 ° C and a pressure of about 50 atm for about 1 hour to give 8-carbon-1,3-diol To form a mixture.

In some cases, these mixtures are further purified by vacuum distillation or decolorization with activated carbon. The recovered solvent is used for further reactions in the preparation of the diol.

When butyraldehyde alone is used in the reaction, the main product obtained is 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol.

When only isobutyraldehyde is used in the reaction, the main product obtained is 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol.

Conversion of butyraldehyde and methyl ethyl ketone to condensation and formation of 8-carbon-1,3-diol mixture

Conditions A. A small amount of n-butanol (about 148 g, about 2 moles, Aldrich) in a 500 ml three-necked round bottom flask equipped with stir bar, internal thermometer, cooler and connection for blanketing with nitrogen atmosphere was charged with sodium Is treated with sodium metal (about 2.3 g, about 0.1 mole, Aldrich) until all are dissolved. A mixture of butyraldehyde (about 72 grams, about 1 mole, Aldrich) and 2-butanone (about 72 grams, about 1 mole, Aldrich) was then added and the system continued until the majority of the initial aldehydes had gone to about 40 Lt; / RTI > The base catalyst is neutralized by the careful addition of sulfuric acid, and the salt is removed by filtration. Optionally, unreacted starting material is distilled off with the reaction solvent. The mixture containing the condensation product is hydrogenated over Raney Ni at about 100 < 0 > C and about 50 atm for about 1 hour to give 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol, A mixture of 8-carbon-1,3-diols containing 3,5-octanediol, 3-methyl-3,5-heptanediol; And small amounts of 1,3-diol isomers such as 3-methyl-2,4-heptanediol and 3,4-dimethyl-2,4-hexanediol.

The conditions are adjusted so that the carbonyl of the slower and more reactive aldehyde of the 2-butanone reacts quickly as soon as it is added. This results in a low proportion of diols resulting from the high proportion of diols from the condensation of 2-butanone and butyraldehyde and from the condensation of 2-butanol itself and from the self-condensation of butyraldehyde.

Condition D. The condition C is repeated under low temperature conditions. About 1.0 mole of 2-butanone is dissolved in about 5 volumes of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran. The solution is cooled to about -78 < 0 > C and about 0.95 mol of potassium hydride is added in small portions. After the hydrogen evolution was stopped, the solution was allowed to equilibrate to a more stable enolate by allowing it to stand for about 1 hour and then 1 mole of n-butyraldehyde was slowly added while stirring well while maintaining a temperature of about -78 & do. After the addition is complete, the solution is slowly warmed to room temperature and neutralized by the careful addition of sulfuric acid. The salts are removed by filtration. Optionally, the unreacted starting material is removed with the reaction solvent by distillation. The mixture containing the condensation product is hydrogenated over Raney Ni at about 100 < 0 > C and about 50 atm for about 1 hour to give the diol resulting from the condensation of 2-butanone and the enolate of butyraldehyde, 3,5- .

Preparation of substituted diols derived from esters of cyclic anhydrides, lactones and dicarboxylic acids

This preparation method relates to diols derived from dicarboxylic acid anhydrides, diesters and lactones, in particular several 1,4-diols, and is not limited to 1,4-diols or 4-carbon diacids.

This type of diol is generally synthesized by reducing sodium bis (2-methoxyethoxy) aluminum hydride (Red-Al) and anhydrides, lactones or diesters as a reducing agent. These reducing agents are commercially available as a 3.1 molar solution in toluene and deliver 1 mole of hydrogen per mole of reagent. Diesters and cyclic anhydrides require about 3 moles of Red-Al per mole of substrate. To illustrate this method, alkyl substituted succinic anhydrides are used, and typical reduction is carried out as follows.

The anhydride is first dissolved in anhydrous toluene and placed in a reaction vessel equipped with a dropping funnel, a mechanical stirrer, a thermometer and a reflux condenser connected to calcium chloride and soda lime and carbon dioxide to exclude moisture. The reducing agent in toluene is added to the dropping funnel and slowly added to the stirred anhydrous solution. The reaction is exothermic and adjusts the temperature to about 80 ° C. RTI ID = 0.0 > 80 C < / RTI > for the remaining addition time and about 2 hours after addition.

Preparation of polyethoxylated derivatives

Polyethoxylated derivatives of diol main solvents are typically prepared in a high pressure reactor under a nitrogen atmosphere. An appropriate amount of ethylene oxide is added to a mixture of a high temperature (about 80 캜 to about 170 캜) diol solvent and potassium hydroxide. The amount of ethylene oxide is calculated for a given amount of diol solvent to add the correct number of ethylene oxide groups per mole of diol. When the reaction is complete, for example after about 1 hour, the remaining unreacted ethylene oxide is removed in vacuo.

General Example: Preparation of tetraethoxylated 3,3-dimethyl-1,2-butanediol

A 2 liter Parr reactor equipped with a temperature controller is charged with about 354 grams (about 3.0 moles) of 3,3-dimethyl-1,2-butanediol and about 0.54 grams of potassium hydroxide. The reactor is sparged with nitrogen and evacuated three times under a pressure of about 30 mm Hg. The reactor is then filled with nitrogen again at atmospheric pressure and heated to about 130 ° C. The pressure in the reactor is then adjusted slightly below the atmospheric pressure by applying a slight vacuum. Ethylene oxide (about 528 g, about 12.0 moles) is added over a period of 1 hour while the temperature is adjusted to about 130 占 폚. After an additional reaction time of 1 hour, the contents are cooled to about 90 DEG C and the vacuum is removed to remove the remaining ethylene oxide.

Preparation of methyl capped polyethoxylated derivatives

Methyl-capped polyethoxylated derivatives of diols can be prepared by reacting the selected diol with the desired chain length of methoxypoly (ethoxy) ethyl chloride (e.g., CH ₃ O- (CH ₂ CH ₂ O) _n -CH ₂ CH ₂ -Cl), or by reacting an epoxy precursor of a diol with a methyl chain-capped polyethylene glycol of a desired chain length (e.g., CH ₃ O- (CH ₂ CH ₂ O) _n -CH ₂ CH ₂ -OH), or a combination of these methods.

Example: Synthesis of a methyl capped tetraethoxylated derivative of (CH ₃ ) ₂ C (OH) CH (CH ₃ ) (OCH ₂ CH ₂ ) ₄ OCH ₃ , 2-methyl-2,3-butanediol.

The reaction mixture is cooled, poured into equal volume of water, neutralized with 6N HCl, saturated with sodium chloride and extracted twice with dichloromethane. The combined dichloromethane layer is dried over sodium sulphate and the solvent is stripped to produce the desired polyether alcohol in an unpurified form. In some cases, the purification is accomplished by fractional vacuum distillation.

Tetraethylene glycol methyl ether (about 208 g, about 1.0 mole) is added under argon to a 1 liter three neck round bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stir bar, cooler, and thermostat (trademark Thermowatch I ² R). Thionyl chloride (about 256.0 g, about 2.15 moles) is added dropwise over about 3 hours with good agitation, while maintaining the temperature in the range of 50-60 占 폚.

Optionally, purification is accomplished by further stripping unreacted starting materials and low molecular weight byproducts using a kugelrohr apparatus at about 150 < 0 > C under vacuum. In some cases, further purification is carried out by vacuum distillation to produce the title polyether.

Preparation of polypropoxylated derivatives

Attach a magnetic stir bar, solid CO ₂ -cooled cooler, addition funnel, thermometer, and thermostat (Therm-O-Watch, I2R) to a 3 neck round bottom flask. The system is equipped with nitrogen to remove air with a nitrogen stream and then blanket the reaction mixture. Anhydrous alcohol or diol to be propoxylated is added to the reaction flask. Approximately 0.1-5 mol% of sodium metal is carefully added to the reaction vessel in small portions while heating and all sodium is reacted if necessary. The reaction mixture is then heated to about 80-130 ° C and propylene oxide (Aldrich) is added dropwise from the dropping funnel at a rate to maintain a small amount of reflux from the solid CO ₂ -cooled cooler. Propylene oxide is continuously added until the desired amount is applied for the desired propoxylation degree. Heating is continued until all reflux of the propylene oxide has stopped and the temperature is further maintained at the temperature for about one hour to ensure that the reaction is completely complete.

The salt is removed by filtration to give the desired propoxylated product. The average propoxylation degree is typically confirmed by integration of the ¹ H-NMR spectrum.

Preparation of polybutoxylated derivatives

Attach a magnetic stir bar, solid CO ₂ -cooled cooler, addition funnel, thermometer, and thermostat (Therm-O-Watch, I2R) to a 3 neck round bottom flask. The system is equipped with nitrogen to remove air with a nitrogen stream and then blanket the reaction mixture. Add anhydrous alcohol or diol to the reaction flask to be ethoxylated. Approximately 0.1-5 mol% of sodium metal is continuously added to the reaction vessel in small portions, with heating, and if necessary, all sodium is allowed to react. Thereafter, the reaction mixture was heated to about 80-130 ℃ α- and butylene oxide (Aldrich), the solid CO ₂ - was added dropwise little by little from the dropping funnel at a rate to maintain a small amount of reflux from the cooled condenser. Continue to add butylene oxide until the desired amount is applied for the desired degree of butoxyxylation. The heating is continued until the reflux of butylene oxide stops and the temperature is further maintained for about 1 or 2 hours to complete the reaction. The reaction mixture is then cooled to room temperature and neutralized by the careful addition of a convenient acid such as methanesulfonic acid. The salt is removed by filtration to give the desired butoxylated product. The average degree of butoxylation is typically confirmed by incorporating the ¹ H-NMR spectrum.

Preparation of polytetramethyleneoxylated derivatives

Purpose The dry portion of about 1 mole of alcohol or diol starting material is placed in a three necked round bottom flask equipped with magnetic stirrer, condenser, internal thermometer and argon blanket system. If the desired average " tetramethyleneoxylation " is about 1 per hydroxy group, about 0.11 mol of 2- (4-chlorobutoxy) tetrahydropyran (ICI) is added per mole of alcohol functional group. A solvent such as anhydrous tetrahydrofuran, dioxane or dimethylformamide is added if necessary. Subsequently, sodium hydride (about 5 mol% excess relative to the chloro compound) is added while stirring at a temperature of about 30-120 < 0 > C with good stirring. After all the hydrides have reacted, the temperature is generally maintained for about 4-24 hours until all the alcohol groups are alkylated. After the reaction is complete, it is cooled and the excess hydride is decomposed by careful addition of methanol in small portions. The same volume of water is then added and the pH is adjusted to about 2 with sulfuric acid. After heating to about 40 < 0 > C, it is held for about 15 minutes to hydrolyze the tetrahydropyranyl protecting group, neutralize the reaction mixture with sodium hydroxide and strip the solvent with a rotary evaporator. The residue is dissolved in ether or methylene chloride and the salt is removed by filtration. The residue is dissolved in ether or methylene chloride and the salt is removed by filtration. Stripping produces an unpurified tetramethyleneoxylated alcohol or diol. If a final average tetramethyleneoxylation degree of less than 1 is desired, correspondingly less amounts of chloro compounds and hydrides are used. If the average tetramethyleneoxylation degree is greater than 1, the entire process is repeated until the desired level is reached.

Preparation of alkyl and aryl monoglyceryl ethers

A convenient method for preparing alkyl and / or aryl monoglycerol ethers consists in first preparing the corresponding alkyl glycidyl ether precursors. This is then converted to ketal and then hydrolyzed to form monoglyceryl ether (diol). N- pentyl are preferred to mono-glycerol ether, (i.e., 3- (pentyloxy) -1,2-propanediol) is a general example of the preparation of _{nC 5 H 11 -O-CHOHCH 2} OH.

Preparation of 3- (pentyloxy) -1,2-propanediol

About 546 grams of aqueous NaOH (about 50% concentration) and about 38.5 grams of tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulfate (PTC, phase) were added to a 2 liter three neck round bottom flask (with a head stirrer, cold water cooler, mercury thermometer and addition funnel) Transition catalyst). The contents of the flask are stirred to dissolve and then about 200 g of 1-pentanol are added with about 400 ml of hexane (mixture of isomers, about 85% n-hexane). The addition funnel is charged with about 418 g of epichlorohydrin which is gradually dropped into the stirred reaction mixture. Since it is an exothermic reaction, the temperature is gradually increased to about 68 ° C. After the addition of epichlorohydrin is complete, the reaction is continued for 1 hour (no additional heat is applied).

The crude reaction mixture is diluted with about 500 ml of warm water, gently agitated and then the aqueous layer is allowed to settle and remove. The hexane layer is mixed again with about 1 liter of warm water and the pH of the mixture is adjusted to about 6.5 with dilute aqueous sulfuric acid. The water layer is again separated and discarded, and the hexane layer is then washed three times with fresh water. The hexane layer is then separated and evaporated to dryness on a rotary evaporator to give crude n-pentyl glycidyl ether.

Acetonization (conversion of ketals)

Fill a 2 liter three necked round bottom flask (with a head stirrer, cold water cooler, mercury thermometer and addition funnel) with approximately 1 liter of acetone. Approximately 1 ml of SnCl _{4 is added} to the acetone with stirring. Approximately 200 g of the n-pentyl glycidyl ether just prepared is added to the addition funnel above the reaction flask. The glycidyl ether is added very slowly to the stirring acetone solution (the speed is adjusted to regulate the exotherm). The reaction is allowed to proceed for about 1 hour after the addition of the glycidyl ether is complete (maximum temperature about 52 ° C).

Hydrolysis

The device is switched to distillation and a heating mantle and thermostat are added. The crude reaction mixture is concentrated by distillation of about 600 ml of acetone. About 1 liter of aqueous sulfuric acid (approximately 20% concentration) and approximately 500 ml of hexane are added to the cooled concentrated solution. The contents of the flask are then heated to about 50 DEG C with stirring (the apparatus is adjusted to collect and separate the acetone that is released). The hydrolysis reaction is continued until the TLC (thin layer chromatography) analysis confirms the completion of the reaction do.

The crude reaction mixture is cooled and the aqueous layer is separated and discarded. The organic layer is then diluted with about 1 liter of hot water and the pH is adjusted to about 7 by the addition of a dilute aqueous NaOH (IN) solution. The aqueous layer is separated again and the organic phase is washed three times with fresh water. The organic phase is then separated and evaporated through a rotary evaporator. The residue is then diluted with fresh hexane and the desired product is extracted with a methanol / water solution (approximately 70/30 by weight). The methanol / water solution is again evaporated to dryness on a rotary evaporator (additional methanol is added to facilitate water evaporation). The residue is then filtered hot through glass microfiber filter paper to obtain n-pentyl monoglycerol ether.

Preparation of di (hydroxyalkyl) ether

Synthesis of bis (2-hydroxybutyl) ether

Argon is flowed into a 500 ml three neck round bottom flask equipped with magnetic stirrer, internal thermometer, addition funnel, condenser, argon feeder, and heating mantle. Subsequently, 1,2-butanediol (about 270 g, about 3 moles, Aldrich) is added, sodium metal (about 1.2 g, about 0.05 moles, Aldrich) is added and sodium is dissolved. The reaction mixture is then heated to about 100 占 폚 and epoxy isobutane (about 7.1 g, about 1 mole, Aldrich) is added dropwise with stirring. Heating is continued until reflux of the epoxy butane is stopped and heating is continued for an additional 1 hour to complete the conversion. The reaction mixture is neutralized with sulfuric acid, the salt is removed by filtration, and the liquid is fractionally distilled under vacuum to recover excess butanediol. The desired ether is obtained as a residue. If necessary, further vacuum distillation is carried out.

Synthesis of bis (2-hydroxycyclopentyl) ether

Argon is flushed through a 1 l three neck round bottom flask equipped with magnetic stirrer, internal thermometer, addition funnel, condenser, argon feeder, and heating mantle. Subsequently, 1,2-cyclopentanediol (about 306 g, about 3 moles, Aldrich) is added and boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (about 0.14 g, about 0.01 moles, cis-trans isomer mixture, Aldrich) is added . The reaction mixture is then maintained at about 10-40 DEG C with cyclopentene oxide (about 84 g, about 1 mole, Aldrich) added dropwise with stirring until all cyclopentene oxides are reacted. The reaction mixture is neutralized with sodium hydroxide and the liquid is fractionally distilled under vacuum to recover an excess of cyclopentanediol. The desired ether is obtained as a residue. If necessary, further purify by vacuum distillation.

The following non-limiting examples illustrate transparent or translucent products with acceptable viscosities.

In the following examples, the composition is made by first preparing an oil sheet as DEQA softener activity at room temperature. If the softener activator is not fluid at room temperature, the softener activator may be heated, for example, to melt at about 130-150 ° F (about 55-66 ° C). The active softening agent is mixed using a registered trademark IKA RW 25 mixer at about 150 rpm for about 2 to about 5 minutes. Separately, the acid / water sheet is prepared at room temperature by mixing HCl with deionized (DI) water. If the softener activator and / or the main solvent (s) are not fluid at room temperature and if it is necessary to heat, the acid / water sheet should also be heated to a suitable temperature, for example about 100 ℉ (about 38 캜) Keep the temperature in a water bath. The main solvent (s) (melted at a suitable temperature if their melting point is above room temperature) is added to the softener premix and the premix is mixed for about 5 minutes. The acid / water sheet is then added to the softener premix and mixed for about 20 to about 30 minutes or until the composition is clear and uniform. The composition is left in air to bring it to ambient temperature.

The following is a suitable N, N-di (fatty acid acyl-oxyethyl) -N, N-dimethylammonium chloride fabric softener activator (DEQA) with a fatty acyl group suitably distributed, which is then used to prepare the following compositions .
