Description

Modified alkoxylated polyol compounds

field of invention

The present invention relates to modified alkoxylated polyol compounds, methods of making modified alkoxylated polyol compounds, and cleaning compositions comprising the same.

Background of the invention

Polyol compounds such as sugars such as sucrose or maltose are known to be abundant and readily available raw materials. Ethoxylates of maltitol are known, for example, CAS503446-80-8. This material has been widely disclosed as a surfactant for cosmetic and other personal care applications, as discussed in JP 2003-096182. Other known ethoxylated polyols include: ethoxylated mannitol (CAS 53047-01-2), ethoxylated inositol (CAS 503446-79-5), ethoxylated sorbitol ( CAS 53694-15-8). JP 10-081744 discusses the production of polyether polyols by adding alkylene oxides to sugars in the presence of amine catalysts. However, as "catalyst" implies, an amine catalyst is not incorporated into the structure of the polyether polyol.

A complex mixture of series is the T series. The JEFFAMINES

Based on trimethylolpropane or glycerol, and thus has three ammonia-terminated ethoxy/propoxyl branches radiating from the glycerol or trimethylolpropane core.

Amination of polyols with ammonia and other amines is further exemplified in US 5,371,119, but using modification of the polyol. Specifically, epichlorohydrin to form polyol dihalohydrins, followed by reaction with ammonia or amines to form a repeating network of amino polyols. This leads to the formation of complex polymeric mixtures comprising multiple polyols randomly linked by reactive halohydrins. This complex mixture is considered of no value to the formulator of cleansing compositions intended to provide cleansing benefits, and is intended to form an emulsifier.

Simple amination of polyols is described in WO 01/98388 A1 which discusses simple amination of polyols, further reaction with aldehydes, in particular formaldehyde, to prepare complex polymer networks. Included in these complex structures is the ability to have sulfides, carboxylates, alkyl esters, alkyl sulfonates and alkyl phosphates as functional units of the complex structures. However, the resulting complex polymer network is considered of no value to the formulator of cleaning compositions intended to provide cleaning benefits. Furthermore, the use of these materials in a controlled and specific manner has not been reported. Selective modification of sugar-derived polyols to provide modified polyols in which a star structure that can be tailored to meet the requirements of detergent formulators is highly desirable.

There also exists a need for materials that are relatively easy to prepare from plentiful and readily available raw materials that can be broadly tailored to meet specific performance requirements.

Stressed conditions cause an additional problem of forming larger ordered aggregates of anionic surfactants such as linear alkylbenzene sulfonates or alkyl sulfates. Agglomeration of anionic surfactants reduces the amount of anionic surfactant available for cleaning. There also exists a need for materials that are relatively easy to prepare from plentiful and readily available raw materials that can be tailored in a controlled and specific manner to meet specific formulation and performance requirements. It would be desirable to have a multifunctional material that provides cleaning benefits in use and can provide increased surfactant availability by preventing the formation of larger ordered aggregates of anionic surfactants with surfaces of no fixed hardness.

Specific performance requirements range from providing cleaning of hydrophobic stains (grease, oil) to hydrophilic stains (clay) associated with outdoor soils. Other performance requirements include use in personal care compositions such as contact lens solutions, in vulcanization of adhesives, rubber, in polyurethane processing, as a dye additive, as a dispersant for agricultural applications, as a dispersant for inks , asphalt dispersant, surfactant solubilizer, surfactant solubilizer in the presence of calcium and magnesium, among other performance requirements.

Formulation of several currently commercially available polymers that provide outdoor soil cleaning into granular and liquid laundry detergents, hard surface cleaners, dish cleaning compositions, personal care compositions, and oil drilling compositions for detergent formulators remains a challenge.

Detailed description of the invention

There also exists a need for materials that are relatively easy to prepare from plentiful and readily available raw materials that can be broadly tailored to meet specific formulation and performance requirements.

Materials based on polyol compounds (eg, sugars) and polyethylene/polypropylene glycol materials are abundant and readily available raw materials that allow themselves to be broadly tailored to meet specific formulation and performance requirements. As used herein, "tuning" refers to the ability to subtly control the chemical structure of a polyol compound to achieve differentiated chemical functionality. For example, an alkoxylated polyol compound modified by the inclusion of an anionic capping unit is a tailored structure that provides desired properties for specific formulation and performance requirements. Another example is that an alkoxylated polyol compound modified by the inclusion of an anionic capping unit and an amine capping unit is a tuned structure that provides the desired properties. Another example is when the alkoxylated polyol compound is modified by including an anionic capping unit and a quaternary ammonium capping unit, the compound is a tuned structure that provides the desired properties. A final embodiment may contain the elements of the two examples above, thus comprising an anionic capping unit and an amine and quaternary ammonium capping unit.

The polyol compounds useful in the present invention also have at least one alkoxy moiety comprising at least one anionic capping unit. Should further modification or adjustment of the compounds occur, it is necessary that only one anionic capping unit be present in the compounds of the invention. One embodiment includes more than one hydroxyl moiety further comprising an alkoxy moiety having an anionic capping unit. For example formula (I):

In one embodiment of the present invention, at least one hydroxy moiety comprises an alkoxy moiety, wherein said alkoxy moiety further comprises at least one anionic capping unit.

In another embodiment of the present invention, at least one hydroxy moiety comprises an alkoxy moiety, wherein said alkoxy moiety further comprises one or more anion-capping units, wherein at least one anion-capping unit but not all anion-capping units The end units are optionally substituted with amine end-capping units. The amine capping unit is selected from primary amine-containing capping units, secondary amine-containing capping units, tertiary amine-containing capping units, and mixtures thereof.

wherein x in formula (I) is about 1 to about 100 and for example about 10 to about 40.

Preparation

The present invention also relates to a process useful for the preparation of the compounds described herein. The process for preparing the compounds described herein includes the optional step of alkoxylating a polyol compound comprising at least three hydroxyl moieties such that the average degree of alkoxylation of at least one hydroxyl moiety is between about 1 and about 100 and for example about 4 to about 60; and for example about 10 to about 40; to form an alkoxylated polyol comprising at least one alkoxy moiety. Alternatively, alkoxylated polyols, for example, CAS 52625-13-5, propoxylated sorbitol or sorbitol ethoxylates available from Lipo Chemicals Inc., can be used as starting materials in the present invention. If the average degree of alkoxylation is not the desired level, an alkoxylation step can be used to achieve the desired degree of alkoxylation of from about 1 to about 100, and for example from about 4 to about 60; and for example from about 10 to about 40. Next, the method includes the step of reacting at least one alkoxy moiety of the compound with an anionic capping unit to form an anionic alkoxylated polyol, although more anionic capping units may be selected.

In one embodiment, the method comprises the further step of substituting at least one anionic capping unit of the anionic alkoxylated polyol with an amine capping unit to form an anionic aminated alkoxylated polyol. In this method, only certain anionic capping units such as sulfate, phosphate and carbonate can be substituted. The method may also include the step of quaternizing the nitrogen in the amine endcap of at least one anionic aminated alkoxylated polyol to form a zwitterionic alkoxylated polyol. Quaternization may be performed on any of the anionic aminated alkoxylated polyols. In one embodiment, the method comprises the steps of: alkoxylating some or a majority of the hydroxyl moieties of the polyol such that the degree of alkoxylation is from about 1 to about 100; and for example from about 4 to about 60, and for example from about 10 to about 40; to form an alkoxylated polyol. The method further includes the step of reacting the alkoxy moiety of the alkoxylated polyol with at least one anionic capping unit comprising at least one of the following anionic groups: sulfate, phosphate, and carbon acid salts; to form anionic alkoxylated polyols. The process may partially or completely react the alkoxy moieties of the alkoxylated polyol with an anionic capping unit. It should also be understood that anionic capping units other than sulfate, phosphate or carbonate may also be present in the anionic alkoxylated polyols. Preferably all alkoxy moieties contain an anionic capping unit.

Optionally, the method comprises the step of replacing the anionic capping unit with an amine capping unit selected from the group consisting of sulfate, phosphate, and carbonate, and mixtures thereof, to form an aminated anionic alkoxylated Polyols (Scheme I below). The anionic capping unit present may be partially or completely replaced by an amine capping unit. Preferably, the amine capping unit is substituted for the anionic capping unit to partially form an anionic aminated alkoxylated polyol.

Optionally, the method further comprises the method of directly aminating the alkoxylated polyol by using catalytic amination to provide an aminated alkoxylated polyol (Scheme II below).

Optionally, the method may further comprise the step of quaternizing the nitrogen in the amine capping unit of at least one anionically aminated alkoxylated polyol to form a zwitterionic alkoxylated polyol. The amine capping units of the anionically aminated alkoxylated polyols can be partially or fully quaternized. In one embodiment, the quaternization is partial quaternization. In another embodiment, the quaternization is complete quaternization. The quaternization of the nitrogen of the amine capping unit may be partial or complete, preferably complete. Non-limiting synthetic schemes are illustrated in Synthetic Scheme I and Synthetic Scheme II below:

Synthetic Scheme I Anionically Aminated Alkoxylated Polyols

The method may comprise optional step 1, step 2 and optional steps 3 and 4. It should be noted that the procedure described provides an anionic aminated alkoxylated polyol by nucleophilic substitution of the sulfate moiety with an amine capping unit. This is a non-limiting example, as phosphate or carbonate groups can also be used for substitution with amine capping units.

Synthetic scheme II:

Scheme II differs from Scheme I in two respects: (1) direct substitution of the terminal hydroxyl moiety is accomplished by catalytic oxidation/reduction using a metal catalyst and hydrogen; Amination and quaternization are followed by sulfation. Zwitterionic alkoxylated polyols of the same composition can be prepared by either Scheme I or Scheme II above. Those skilled in the art will recognize the use of other amine capping units including, but not limited to, ammonia or dimethylaminopropylamine.

A specific description of the method of the present invention will be described in detail below.

Ethoxylation of polyols

Ethoxylation of polyols (eg sorbitol) can be accomplished by any known technique, as described in EP 174436 A1. Propoxylation and butoxylation can also be accomplished using known techniques.

Add sorbitol (17.5g, 0.0962mol) into the autoclave, purify the autoclave with nitrogen, heat the sorbitol to 110°C to 120°C; start the autoclave to stir and vacuum to about 2.6kPa (20mmHg.).

While maintaining vacuum, the autoclave was cooled to about 110°C to 120°C while 6.2 g of 25% sodium methoxide in methanol (0.0288 moles to achieve a 5% catalyst loading based on hydroxyl moieties) was added. Methanol from the methoxide solution was removed in the autoclave under vacuum. A device was used to monitor the power consumed by the stirrer. Stirrer power is monitored along with temperature and pressure. As the methanol was removed from the autoclave, the stirrer power and temperature values were gradually increased, and the viscosity of the mixture increased, and the viscosity remained stable for about 1.5 hours indicating that most of the methanol had been removed. The mixture was heated and stirred under vacuum for an additional 30 minutes.

The vacuum was removed and the autoclave was filled with nitrogen to 1725 kPa (250 psia) and then vented to ambient pressure while cooling or maintaining it at 110°C. The autoclave was charged to 1380 kPa (200 psia) with nitrogen. Charge the autoclave with ethylene oxide gradually, maintaining the temperature between 110°C and 120°C while carefully monitoring the autoclave pressure, temperature, and ethylene oxide flow rate and limiting any temperature exotherm due to the reaction raised. After charging with 483 g of ethylene oxide (10.97 mol, a total of 19 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of OH formed), the temperature was raised to 120° C. and the mixture was stirred for a further 2 hours.

The reaction mixture was then collected in a 22 L three necked round bottom flask purged with nitrogen. The strong base catalyst was neutralized by the slow addition of 2.8 g methanesulfonic acid (0.00288 mol) with heating (110° C.) and mechanical stirring. The reaction mixture was then purged of residual ethylene oxide and deodorized by sparging an inert gas (argon or nitrogen) into the mixture by gas dispersing the glaze while stirring and heating the mixture to 120°C for one hour. Approximately 500 g of the final reaction product was cooled slightly and poured into a nitrogen purged glass container for storage.

Alternatively, polyols with the required or less than required degree of alkoxylation can be purchased, for example, CAS 52625-13-5, propoxylated sorbitol or sorbitol polyoxyl from Lipo Chemicals Inc. vinyl ether. The desired degree of alkoxylation is obtained here by known and/or above-mentioned methods.

Sulfation of Sorbitol EO ₁₁₄ (average 19 EO moieties per hydroxyl moiety)

Sorbitol E ₁₁₄ (299.7 g, 0.058 mol) and dichloromethane (300 g) were weighed into a 500 mL Erlenmeyer flask ("the solution"). The flask was fitted with a magnetic stir bar and stirred until complete dissolution. The flask was placed in an ice bath until the solution reached about 10°C. Slowly pour chlorosulfonic acid (48.3 g, 0.415 mol) over about 5 minutes while stirring vigorously to form a reaction solution. The reaction solution was stirred in an ice bath for 1.5 hours.

A solution of sodium methoxide (197 g in 25% methanol) in 50 g of dichloromethane was placed in a 1 L Erlenmeyer flask ("base solution") and cooled in an ice bath until the temperature of the solution reached about 10°C. The base solution was stirred vigorously with a magnetic stir bar. The reaction solution was slowly poured into the alkali solution over about 3 minutes. A mild exotherm was observed. The resulting solution became milky due to salt formation. After the addition was complete, the pH was measured to be about 12. To the resulting solution was added approximately 100 mmL of distilled water, and the resulting emulsion was transferred to a 1 L round bottom flask, and a portion was evaporated at 50° C. using a rotary evaporator to obtain a clear solution. The clear solution was transferred to a Kulgelrohr apparatus. The solution was evaporated at 60°C and 133 Pa (1 mmHg) to give 366 g of an off-white waxy solid, 90% active (10% salt).

Carbon NMR spectrum (500MHz; pulse sequence: s2pul, solvent D ₂ O; relaxation delay 0.300 seconds, pulse 45.0; acquisition time 1.090 seconds) showed no alcohol groups at about 60ppm and new peaks appeared at about 67ppm, with the formation end The base sulfate is consistent. Proton NMR spectrum (500MHz or 300MHz; pulse sequence: s2pul, solvent D ₂ O; relaxation delay 1.000 seconds, pulse 45.0; acquisition time 2.345 seconds) showed a new peak at about 4ppm, which integrated with the ethoxylate at about 3.5ppm The proton is opposed, consistent with a molecule with 6 terminal sulfates.

Example 2: Amination of Sorbitol EO ₁₁₄ Hexasulfate of Example 1

Sorbitan EO ₁₁₄ hexasulfate (61.3 g of 90% active, 0.0095 mol) and 3-(dimethylamino)propylamine ("DMAPA" 18.5 g, 0.181 mol) were weighed into a 200 mL glass insert. The liner was heated in a swinging autoclave under nitrogen at 152 kPa (150 psig) until the temperature reached 165°C and held at 165°C for 2 hours. Cool to room temperature (20°C to 25°C). The material was extracted with 150 mL of dichloromethane and centrifuged until the salts were separated. The supernatant was transferred to a 500 mL round bottom flask and evaporated using a rotary evaporator at 50 °C until most (less than 5 mL) of the solvent was removed. Excess amine was removed by heating with a Kugelrohr apparatus at 120° C. and 133 Pa (1 mmHg) for 30 minutes to give 47.8 g of a brown hard solid. Proton NMR (500 MHz or 300 MHz; pulse sequence: s2pul, solvent _D2O ; relaxation delay 0.300 sec, pulse 45.0; acquisition time 3.744 sec) showed about 3 sulfate and about 2 DMAPA per molecule.

Embodiment 3: the quaternization of the amine sulfate of embodiment 2

In a 500 mL round bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stirring bar, aminated sorbitol EO ₁₁₄ was dissolved in 100 g of dichloromethane and cooled with an ice bath until the temperature reached 10 °C. The solution was adjusted to pH 12 with sodium methoxide (25% in methanol). To the solution was added iodomethane (15.0 g, 0.106 mol). The flask was stoppered and the solution was stirred overnight (approximately 14 hours). The solution was evaporated with a Kugelrohr apparatus at 50°C and 133 Pa (1 mmHg) to give 66 g of a sticky brown solid. Proton NMR (500 MHz or 300 MHz; pulse sequence: s2pul, solvent _D2O ; relaxation delay 1.000 sec, pulse 45.0, acquisition time 2.345 sec) showed complete quaternization of nitrogen in all amine capping units.
