Dimethicone copolyol amido quats

by O'Lenick, Jr., Anthony J.;



BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Technical Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to novel dimethicone copolyol amido quaternary compounds bearing a cationic group and an amido group. This invention also relates a series of such products having differing amounts of water-soluble groups, silicone soluble groups and fatty soluble groups. By careful selection of the compounds so constructed, very efficient mild conditioning agents may be achieved.

2. Description of the Arts

There have been several silicone containing surfactants prepared over the years for specific applications. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,153,294 issued in March 1994 discloses silicone alkoxylated quats. These ester containing carboxylates are prepared by the reaction of chloroacetic acid and a dimethicopne copolyol to male a chloro intermediate. The resulting product contains a silicone soluble group, a water-soluble group (polyoxyalkylene glycol) on a silicone backbone. The product however containing the ester group is sensitive to a process called hydrolysis. If placed in aqueous solution at a pH of 5 or below or a pH of 10 of above, the ester cleaves giving the starting dimethicone copolyol and succinic acid or it's salt. This hydrolytic instability limits the usefulness of this type of product since many processes are not run within this range. Another shortcoming of these compounds is the fact that in forming the ester linkage, the hydroxyl group on the molecule is reacted out. There are many instances in which a reactive hydroxyl group is desirable. For example, in the preparation of urethanes, this hydroxyl group is needed to react with isocynate to make flexible urethane. Another example is in making release coatings for paper. The presence of both a carboxyl and hydroxyl group offers the ability to make heretofore unavailable crosslinked systems.

It was not until the compounds of the present invention that molecules having a water-soluble group, silicone soluble group, fatty soluble groups as well as a cationic group were available.

3. Summary of the Invention

The present invention is directed toward the provision of a series of novel silicone compounds that have cationic groups and hydroxyl groups (water-soluble) and an amido group that provides outstanding foaming and conditioning properties. This allows for the preparation of very mild conditioning useful in the formulation of personal care products. The compounds of the present invention have the formula: ##STR1##

Other objectives will become clear from reading the specifications and claims of the present patent.

Detailed Description of the Invention

The compounds of the present invention conform to the formula; ##STR3##

wherein;

a is an integer ranging from 0 to 2000;

b is an integer ranging from 1 to 20;

c is an integer ranging from 1 to 20;

d is an integer ranging from 0 to 20;

n is an integer ranging from 10 to 20;

x is an integer ranging 0 to 20;

R.sup.1 is ##STR4##

R.sup.2 is selected from the group consisting of --CH.sub.3, --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.6 H.sub.5, --CH.sub.2C(O)--O.sup.-, and --CH.sub.2 CH(OH)CH.sub.2 OH.

The products are made by reacting the following compounds with dimethylaminopropyl amine, followed by reaction with benzyl chloride, methyl chloride and/ or monochloro glycerin to give the compounds of the present invention. ##STR5##

wherein;

a is an integer ranging from 0 to 2000;

b is an integer ranging from 1 to 20;

c is an integer ranging from 1 to 20;

d is an integer ranging from 0 to 20;

n is an integer ranging from 10 to 20;

x is an integer ranging 0 to 20;

y is an integer ranging 0 to 20;

z is an integer ranging 0 to 20.

To produce an intermediate conforming to the following structure: ##STR6##

The silicone amido amine is then reacted with benzyl chloride, sodium monochloro acetate, monochloro glycerin or methyl chloride to produce a compound on which there is a (+) charge on the nitrogen bearing the two methyl groups.

In order to make the amido amine intermediate useful in making the products of the present invention, of the a intermediate methyl ester conforming to the following structure is first prepared: ##STR7##

wherein;

a is an integer ranging from 0 to 2000;

b is an integer ranging from 1 to 20;

c is an integer ranging from 1 to 20;

d is an integer ranging from 0 to 20;

n is an integer ranging from 10 to 20;

x is an integer ranging 0 to 20;

y is an integer ranging 0 to 20;

z is an integer ranging 0 to 20.

The methyl ester is prepared by the hydrosilylation reaction of a silicone polymer and specific alpha vinyl compounds. ##STR8##

wherein;

a is an integer ranging from 0 to 2000;

b is an integer ranging from 1 to 20;

c is an integer ranging from 1 to 20;

d is an integer ranging from 0 to 20;

n is an integer ranging from 10 to 20;

x is an integer ranging 0 to 20;

y is an integer ranging 0 to 20;

z is an integer ranging 0 to 20.

The preparation of the intermediate is critical to the synthesis of the compounds of the present invention. If one tries to hydrosilylate a carboxylic acid directly, the reaction fails. The carboxylic acid group reacts with the Si-H and the desired product is not achieved. The hydrosilylation using the methyl ester however is essentially quantitative and proceeds to give the desired product.

2. Methyl Undecylenate

Example 11

Methyl undecylenate is an item of commerce and conforms to the following structure:

CH.sub.2.dbd.CH(CH.sub.2).sub.8 --C(O)--OCH.sub.3

As previously stated, the action requires the reaction of an ester, not the acid directly.

General Reaction Process (Hydrosilation)

To a suitable flask fitted with a mechanical agitator, thermometer with a Therm-o-watch temperature regulator, nitrogen sparge tube vented reflux condenser and heating mantle is added the specified quantity of euganol (example 11), allyl alcohol alkoxylates (examples 12-20), and alpha olefin (examples 21-25) examples. Next is added the specified number of grams of the specified hydrosilylation intermediate (Example #1-10) and isopropanol. The temperature is increased to 85 C and 3.5 ml of 3% H2PtCl 6 in ethanol is added. An exotherm is noted to about 95 C, while the contents are stirred for about 2 hours. During this time silanic hydrogen concentration drops to nil. Cool to 65 C and slowly add 60 g of sodium bicarbonate, allow to mix overnight and filter through a 4-micron pad. Distill off any solvent at 100 C and 1 torr.

General Procedure

The alkylating agents (raw materials A-C) are reacted with the amido amine intermediate under aqueous conditions so that the concentration of the final product is between 30 and 50% by weight. The proffered mole ratio of alkylating agent to amido amine ranges from 1.1:1 to 0.9:1 with the preferred being 1.05:1.0. The preferred concentration is 40% by weight. The reaction is conducted at a temperature of between 30.degree. C. and 100.degree. C., with the preferred temperature range being 85.degree. C.-95.degree. C. The reaction is monitored by analyzing for % chloride ion, which approaches 99% of theoretical as the reaction proceeds. During the reaction the pH is kept at between 8.5 and 9.5 by addition of KOH as required.

Examples 92-124

To the specified number of grams of the specified amido amine intermediate is added enough water to make the final concentration of solids 35%. Next the specified amount of the specified alkylating agent (Raw Material examples A-C) is added. The reaction mass is heated to 90.degree. C. The temperature is held between 90.degree. C.-95.degree. C. for between 5 and 10 hours. The pH is kept between 8.5 and 8.5 during this hold period by adding small amounts of 45% KOH. The concentration of chloride in is monitored by titration.
