Abstract
The present invention relates to laundry care compositions comprising mono-azo carboxylate dyes.
Claims8
A laundry care composition comprising from about 0.00001 wt % to about 0.5 wt % of a mono-azo carboxylate dye is selected from
- and mixtures thereof,
- wherein R1 is independently selected from the group consisting of:
- (a) unsubstituted or substituted C1 to C12 alkyl chains, optionally the alkyl chains comprising ether (C—O—C), ester and/or amide links, optionally, the alkyl chains are substituted with —Cl, —Br, —CN, —NO2, —SO2CH3, —OH and mixtures thereof;
- and
- (b) (CH2CH2O)y((CH2)wNH)zQ;
- wherein R2 is (CH2CH2O)y′((CH2)w′NH)z′Q′;
- wherein y and y′ are independently selected integers from 0 to about 39;
- wherein the sum of y+y′ is in the range of from about 3 to about 30;
- wherein w and w′ are independently selected from about 2 and about 3;
- wherein z and z′ are independently selected from 0 and about 1;
- wherein z is 1 when y is 0;
- wherein z′ is 1 when y′ is 0;
- wherein Q and Q′ are independently selected from the group consisting of H and Y;
- wherein at least one Q or Q′ group is Y;
- wherein Y is an organic radical represented by Formula V
- wherein independently for each Y group:
- M is H or a charge balancing cation;
- m is 0 to about 5;
- n is 0 to about 5;
- the sum of m+n is about 1 to about 10;
- each R12 is independently selected from the group consisting of H, C3-18 or C4-C18 linear or branched alkyl, C3-18 or C4-C18 linear or branched alkenyl, and mixtures thereof,
- at least one R12 group is not H;
- wherein R3 is selected from acid amide, C1-C8 alkyl, heteroaromatic and aryl;
- wherein R4 is selected from CN, NO2, alkoxy, carboxylic acid ester, alkyl sulfonyl and arylsulfonyl;
- wherein R5 is selected from F, Cl, Br, CN, NO2, alkoxy, phenyl, benzyl, amine, alkyl, and carboxylic acid ester;
- wherein R6 is selected from H, CN, NO2, alkoxy, alkyl sulfonyl, arylsulfonyl and carboxylic acid ester;
- wherein R7 is selected from CN, SCN, F, Cl, and Br;
- wherein R8 is selected from C1-C8 alkyl, heteroaromatic and aryl;
- wherein R9 is selected from CN, NH2C(O), NO2, and acetyl;
- wherein R10 is selected from C1-C8 alkyl;
- wherein R11 is an acid amide.
