LU Printed by Jouve, 75001 PARIS (FR) EP 0 484 324 B1 Description [0001] The present invention relates to a cleaning composition comprising a peroxide source and a bleach activator. 5 BACKGROUND [0002] Peroxyacids (herein "peracids") are a well-known class of organic compounds that can be prepared, for ex- ample, by the action of hydrogen peroxide on organic acids in the presence of an acid catalyst. See ORGANIC PER- OXIDES. E.G.E. Hawkins, D. Van Nostrand Company, Inc. (1961). Peracids have a variety of industrial uses, for ex- 10 ample, as catalysts and as oxidizing agents. [0003] Peracids also find use as cleaners and laundry bleaches. As such, the formulator typically prepares a relatively stable compound (a so-called "bleach activator") which decomposes in water in the presence of inorganic percarbonate or perborate to form the peracid in situ in a laundry liquor. See, generally, British 864 768; Canadian 635 620; U.S. 4 100 095; 4 119 660; 4 126 573; 4 412 934 and EPO published applications 0 068 547, 83 303 675.9. See especially 15 U.K. 1 382 594 for Quat-Activators. [0004] US-A-3,272,756 describes a detergent composition and process for bleaching textile materials. The bleaching composition comprising an inorganic persalt and an ester of carbonic acid or pyrocarbonic acid. US-A-3,256,198 de- scribes a detergent composition comprising an oxygen-releasing compound and an organic carbonate which bleaches and whitens textile and fabrics. GB-A-1 ,445,299 describes a bleaching composition containing an inorganic percom- 20 pound capable of releasing hydrogen peroxide and an activating agent. [0005] As can be seen from the extensive literature, there is a continuing search for new, more effective peracids and bleach activators. One major problem with some activators (or their degradation products, in-use) is poor odor quality. Another problem is that some activators are either rather complicated structures, or are made from rather expensive raw materials; in either event, many art -disclosed materials have remained laboratory curiosities rather than 25 viable commercial items. [0006] The present invention provides a cleaning composition comprising bleach activators which are readily pre- pared from inexpensive raw materials, and which do not suffer from the problems associated with many art-disclosed bleaching agents. [0007] The present invention encompasses a cleaning composition comprising a peroxide source and a bleach ac- 30 tivator compound of the formula [RX]mAL 35 wherein R is C6-C20 branched straight-chain or substituted, allyl, alkenyl, or alkyl-substituted aryl; X is O, S02, (R')P^O or (R')N^O and wherein for m = I, A is 40 0 0 45 or 50 or 55 0 „ II 2 EP 0 484 324 B1 or 0 0 -C-Oj<H-C- or 0 o n « , where x is an integer from 0 to 4; z is an integer from 0 to 2; (R1) is alkyl and R" is branched-chain alkylene and wherein for m = 2, A is 0 \ II CH-C- and wherein L is a leaving group, comprising a group selected from 0 -NCR2 (a) and(b) Y wherein x is an integer from 0 to 8, Z is H, R2 or halide, R2 is C1 to4 alkyl, and Y is selected from S03M, OS03M, C02M, N+(R2)3Q", N(R2)2->0 wherein M is H, alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium or substituted ammo- nium and Q is halide or methosulphate, the conjugate acid of which has a pKa in the range from 6 to 13. [0008] Preferred compounds herein are those wherein X is oxygen. [0009] The bleaching compositions of the invention comprising the bleach activator described above also comprise a peroxide source such as a perborate, percarbonate, or peroxide compounds. [0010] In general, 'R' in the above formulas can be branched or straight-chain or substituted C6-C20 alkyl or alkenyl or C6-C20 alkyl - substituted aryl. C6-C15 alkyl is especially preferred for oxidative stability. Also, 'R' can be optionally alkoxylated (i.e. linked to one or more ethyleneoxy or propyleneoxy groups or mixtures thereof). DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [0011] The compounds of this invention, and their synthesis, can best be understood by a consideration of the bleach activator compounds. It will be appreciated that the peracid compounds can be generated in situ from the activator compounds in aqueous media, in the presence of peroxide. [0012] The bleach activator compounds can be described as comprising three parts: (i) an optionally alkoxylated EP 0 484 324 B1 hydrocarbyl part (designated 'R' in the general formula) said hydrocarbyl part being linked via a heteroatom ('X' in the formula) to (ii) a bridging part ('A' in the formula) which contains a labile carbonyl group; said bridging part being attached to a leaving group ('L' in the formula) at the labile carbonyl group; as follows: 5 [RX] m-A-L [0013] In use, the activator forms the active, bleaching peracids, as follows: 10 00H~ [RX] AL > RXAOOH + L 15 Synthesis Schemes [0014] The synthesis of the herein-disclosed peroxy acids per se employs standard chemical reactions, and such 20 synthesis schemes form no part of the present invention. For example, the parent organic acid can be reacted with H202 in the presence of an inorganic acid catalyst to form an equilibrium aqueous mixture containing the organic peracid. Alternatively, the acid chloride or acid anhydride can be used with H202. Cationic ion-exchange resins may be used as the catalyst. Water-free peracids can be prepared by azeotropic distillation from alkyl acetate solvents. Dipicolinic acid can be used to reduce the danger of explosions when the pure acid is being isolated. 25 [0015] It is to be understood that there is no need to isolate the pure peracid in order to use it as a bleaching or cleaning agent ; indeed, to do so is generally wasteful, since the peracid is typically used in solution rather than as the pure compound. [0016] The peracids herein are most conveniently provided in situ when their respective bleach activator molecules are placed in the presence of a peroxide source (e.g. H202, sodium perborate or sodium percarbonate) and water at 30 alkaline pH. [0017] Having earlier considered the bleach activator molecules as comprising three parts, it becomes relatively simple to devise synthesis schemes for the various compounds herein, using well-known starting materials and chem- ical reactions. [0018] For example, portion "RX" of the activators (and the peracids) can comprise the commercially-available al- 35 cohols (ROH) and amines (RNH2). It will be appreciated that the N(H) hetero-atom will be more-or-less labile to self- oxidation unless limited to a carbonyl, i.e., amides. Hence in other cases substituent groups should preferably be alkyl (conveniently C-^-C^ rather than hydrogen and are designated R' in the general formula, shown above. [0019] The bridging group "A" of the activators (and the peracids) can comprise moieties derived from such com- monly-available materials as oxalic acid (-C(O)-C(O)-); maleic acid (-C(0)CH=CHC(0)): phthalic acid (-C(0)C6H4C 40 (O)-); adipic acid (-C(0)(CH2)4C(0)-); Such bridging moieties are all derivable by chemical reactions well known in the art [0020] The combination of "RXA" forms the parent acids from which the peracids can ben generated, as noted above, and also constitutes the parent acid of the bleach activators, which are formed from RXA acids and leaving groups "L". [0021] With regard to leaving group "L", it will be apppreciatedfrom even a cursory review of the cited patent literature 45 that there is a wide choice of chemical moieties which act as leaving groups and from which bleach activator molecules can be synthesized which are sufficiently stable for incorporation into a home laundry detergent or laundry bleach.

    ABSTRACT WANG, GUAN. Synthesis and Application of Bleach Activators Containing Various Cationic Groups and PET Fabric Decolorization using Fenton’s Reagent. (Under the direction of Dr. David Hinks.) CBAs are quaternary ammonium salts (QAS) that are extensively used in various applications. Although most of the QAS are generally believed to be nontoxic to humans, they will harm aquatic life both animals and plants. CBAs are applied in textile bleaching process and the wastewater after bleaching contains chemicals including bleach activators. Even though wastewater contains CBAs will be treated in a wastewater treatment plant, the treated water still contain these chemicals. The study of acute toxicity and genotoxicity of CBAs to aquatic organisms was conducted in this study. Eight new bleach activators and two bench mark cationic bleach activators were investigated. New invented cationic bleach activator 3- PBBC is 86 times less toxic in the Daphnia sp. Immobilization Test, 18 times less toxic in Algae Toxicity assay and 10 times less mutagenic in the Salmonella/microsome microsuspension assay in comparison with the benchmark product (TBBC). This confirmed that replacing the cationic group in CBAs using low toxicity ammines can reduce the toxicity of CBAs to aquatic organisms. An effective low temperature and neutral pH bleaching system was developed using CBAs. A comparison life-cycle assessment for conventional and innovational bleaching system was conducted in this study. Their relative environmental performance was analyzed and compared. Based on data from industry, pre-published research, lab-scale experiments and the Ecoinvent database, the life-cycle-inventory (LCI) for both innovative and conventional bleaching process was developed.

  • Antimicrobial and Cleaning Modes of Action of Peroxide and Reactive Oxygen Species for Combating Biofilms
    Antimicrobial and Cleaning Modes of Action of Peroxide and Reactive Oxygen Species for Combating Biofilms Cláudio Lourenço Department of Chemistry Centre for Doctoral Training in Molecular Modelling & Materials Science University College London Thesis submitted to the University College London for the Doctor of Engineering degree in Molecular Modelling and Materials Science 2020 Declaration I, Cláudio Lourenço, hereby confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. _______________________ Date: March 2020 2 Abstract Poor denture hygiene is the underlying cause behind several undesirable effects including denture stomatitis, bad breath, staining among others. Dentures are immediately exposed to microbes and quickly become colonized by biofilm. Dentures therefore require regular cleaning and disinfection by a safe and reliable product. With this in view, the effects of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the removal of biofilms and stains were studied. Furthermore, the kinetics of the reaction and the pH conditions necessary for effective production of reactive oxygen species within a formulation and its antibiofilm properties were also investigated. 1H-NMR was used to kinetically follow ROS production at different pH in the tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED)/ hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) system within different formulations and complemented with fluorometric detection of ROS. Subsequently the antimicrobial properties of the tested formulations were observed against oral microorganisms in suspension and were supplemented with biofilm studies to visualize the biofilm removal properties of ROS using confocal microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Quantitative 1H-NMR and fluorimetry proved to be robust and reliable methods to assess the efficacy of a formulation in delivering ROS.

HERA Targeted Risk Assessment of TAE D Oct. 14, 2002 1. Executive Summary General TAED (tetraacetylethylenediamine) is a bleaching activator which is mainly used in detergents and additives for laundry washing and dishwashing. Typical concentrations of TAED range between 1.4% and 13% in these products. The amount of TAED which is used in household cleaning products in Europe was estimated to be 61,000 t in 2001. After starting the washing process, TAED is completely dissolved within minutes in the wash liquor and undergoes perhydrolysis in the presence of persalts such as perborate or percarbonate via triacetylethylenediamine (TriAED) to diacetylethylenediamine (DAED). A recent kinetic study of the perhydrolysis under conditions of the washing process (pH 10) has shown that TAED is converted >99% to DAED even at low temperature (23 degree C). In this risk assessment report the parent compound TAED as well as the final degradation product DAED were assessed.

  • ABSTRACT WANG, GUAN. Synthesis of Bleach
    ABSTRACT WANG, GUAN. Synthesis of Bleach Activators with Varying Cationic Groups. (Under the direction of David Hinks.) Bleaching is a key method for preparing natural textile fibers for dyeing and finishing. The process removes colored and non-colored impurities in the fiber. It whitens the fiber and provides a more uniform base to enable high quality dyeing. Hydrogen peroxide is an abundant, low-cost and commonly used oxidizing agent that oxidizes a range of organic compounds by dissociation into perhydroxyl anion under alkaline conditions. Relatively high temperature and alkali conditions are necessary for rapid hydrogen peroxide bleaching. These conditions produce a loss of fabric strength, result in relatively high energy consumption, and generate large amounts of electrolyte upon neutralization of the bleach solution. Bleach activators have been employed for several decades in laundry detergent and dishwashing formulations, and their investigation as commercially viable bleaching systems for textile wet processing has been on-going for approximately 15 years. The most commonly used peroxide bleach activators are tetraacetyl ethylene diamine (TAED) and sodium nonanoyloxybenzenesulfonate (NOBS). While these bleach activators enable hydrogen peroxide bleaching at relative low temperature (approximately 60-80 °C )these activators still require alkali conditions for good bleaching performance and TAED has low solubility, which limits its use. Cationic bleach activators have been investigated as next generation bleach activators that exhibit inherent substantivity towards cellulosic fibers. N-[4-(triethylam- moniomethly)benzoyl]caprolactam chloride) (TBCC) is a cationic bleach activator that has been shown to exhibit improved hydrogen peroxide bleaching in relative low temperature and under neutral conditions. For enhance the water stability, another cationic bleach activator was used, N-[4-(triethylam-moniomethly)benzoyl]butyrolactam chloride (TBBC) which exhibits equivalent bleaching performance to TBCC.
