Abstract:
The invention provides liquid cleaning or bleaching compositions containing compounds having the structure of Formula (I) wherein A is a saturated ring formed by five atoms in addition to the N1 atom, the five saturated ring atoms being four carbon atoms and a heteroatom, the substituent R1 bound to the N1 atom of the Formula (I) structure including either (a) a C1-24 alkyl or alkoxylated alkyl where the alkoxy is C2-4, (b) a C4-24 cycloalkyl, (c) a C7-24 alkaryl, (d) a repeating or nonrepeating alkoxy or alkoxylated alcohol, where the alkoxy unit is C2-4, or (e) -CR2R3CN where R2 and R3 are each H, a C1-24 alkyl, cycloalkyl, or alkaryl, or a repeating or nonrepeating alkoxyl or alkoxylated alcohol where the alkoxy unit is C2-4, the R2 and R3 substituents are each H, a C1-24 alkyl, cycloalkyl, or alkaryl, or a repeating or nonrepeating alkoxyl or alkoxylated alcohol where the alkoxy unit is C2-4, and wherein Y is a generally anionic counterion and Z is in the range of 0 to 10. Additional, adjunct materials commonly found in liquid cleaning and bleaching compositions can be added.
Abstract:
Granules are provided that are useful for oxidizing applications when the granules are dissolved in the presence of an active oxygen source. These granules include a salt having the structure of formula (I), wherein A, R1, R2, R3, Y and Z are as defined in the disclosure. The salt is carried by, coated with, or admixed with a solid particulate such as silica gel, silicic acid, silicate, aluminum oxide, clay, aluminum silicate, or mixtures thereof.
Abstract:
The invention comprises heterocyclic cationic activators with the structure of Formula (I) that are capable of forming a peroxyimidic acid with a source of active oxygen in aqueous solution or being in a peroxyimidic form wherein A, R1, R2, R3, Y, and Z are as defined in the disclosure. The activators of Formula (I) are admixed with another compound selected from anionic species either capable of forming a peracid with a source of active oxygen in aqueous solution, or being in a peracid form, or a non-ionic polarizable activator and suitable counterion.
Abstract:
Nitrile activators, such as N-alkyl ammonium acetonitrile activators, are combined with a source of active oxygen as cleaning and bleaching compositions. Preferred activator embodiments of the invention include salts of N-methyl morpholinium acetonitrile, N-butylmorpholinium acetonitrile, N-hexyl morpholinium acetonitrile, and N-octyl morpholinium acetonitrile. A particularly preferred activator embodiment is an N-methyl morpholinium acetonitrile salt. The nitrile and active oxygen react to form a bleaching agent which is applied to a stain on an article. The treated stain is coctacted with dense gas so as to provide substantially non-aqueous stain removal. One embodiment is a composition in which the nitrile and active oxygen are disposed in the dense carbon dioxide.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of a compound having the structure of Formula (I) wherein A, R1, R2, R3, Y and Z are as defined in the disclosure. The process includes reacting a heterocyclic amine with a monoaldehyde or a dialdehyde in a pH range of from about 8 to 14 and then quaternizing the so-reacted heterocyclic amine with an alkylating agent at a pH of not less than about 2. The use of a pH control substantially prevents formation of an undesirable protonated intermediate.

Abstract:
Bleaching compositions are provided that comprise two nitrile groups where each nitrile is bonded to a quaternary nitrogen through a methylene unit. The quaternary nitrogens are part of a saturated ring. This saturated ring contains from two to eight atoms in addition to the quaternary nitrogen. A source of active oxygen will react with the nitriles for bleaching applications.
