Abstract
Mid-chain branched peracids and peracid precursors useful in laundry and cleaning compositions, especially granular and liquid detergent compositions are disclosed. These peracids and precursors are suitable for formulation with a wide range of detergent adjuncts for the purpose of providing improved cleaning systems, especially for use in detergent compositions which will be used in laundry processes involving low water temperature wash conditions. The present invention also relates to novel mid-chain branched peracids and precursors for use in the compositions of the present invention.
Claims9
A bleaching compound having a formula selected from the group consisting of:
- 14
- and mixtures thereof, R, R1, and R2 are each independently selected from hydrogen and C1-C3 alkyl, provided R, R1, and R2 are not all hydrogen;
- w is an integer from 0 to 11;
- x is an integer from 0 to 11;
- y is an integer from 0 to 11, z is an integer from 0 to 11 when m is not 0 and when m is 0, z is an integer from 1 to 11;
- w+x+y+z is from 5 to 11;
- and EO/PO are alkoxy moieties, wherein m is within the range of from 0 to about 30 and L, when present, is a leaving group;
- provided that when m is 0 and w is 0 or 1, then R is H and when w is 0 then R1 is also H;
- and provided that when m is 0 and w and x are both 0, then R and R1 are both H.
A bleaching composition comprising the bleaching compound according to any of the preceding claims.
