Organosilane compounds

Abstract

Novel compounds of formula ##STR1## or siloxane oligomers thereof, wherein a is 0 to 2; R.sub.1 is an alkyl group containing 1 to 18 carbon atoms; b is 1 to 3; c is 0 or 1; at least one R.sub.2 is a carboxy-substituted alkyl group containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, (C.sub.x H.sub.2x O).sub.m Z wherein x is 2 to 4, m is 1 to 20, Z is hydrogen, an alkyl group containing 1 to 18 carbon atoms or an acyl group containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or oxygen provided only one R.sub.2 is oxygen, and provided R.sub.2 is not oxygen when c is 0, while the other R.sub.2 is an alkyl, aryl or arylalkyl group containing 1 to 12 carbon atoms; R.sub.3 is an alkyl, aryl or arylalkyl group containing 1 to 22 carbon atoms; X is halide; and Y is nitrogen, phosphorus, or sulfur are disclosed. The novel compounds are useful for inclusion in a detergent composition for imparting soil release benefits to metallic and vitreous surfaces washed or rinsed therewith.
