Abstract
The present invention relates to laundry care compositions comprising carboxylate dyes. The laundry care compositions can be laundry detergent compositions, laundry additive compositions such as fabric enhancer compositions or bleach additive compositions. Preferably, the laundry care composition is a laundry detergent composition. The composition can be a solid, such as a powder, tablet or bar, or a liquid. The composition can be in the form of a unit dose, such as pouch. Suitable unit dose pouches include single compartment and multi-compartment pouches.
Claims1
A mono-azo carboxylate dye 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)wNH)zQ′;
- wherein y and y′ are independently selected integers from 0 to 39;
- wherein the sum of y+y′ is in the range of from 3 to 30;
- wherein w and w′ are independently selected from 2 and 3;
- wherein z and z′ are independently selected from 0 and 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 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 5;
- n is 0 to 5;
- the sum of m+n is 1 to 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 at least one Q or Q′ group is Y;
- 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 C3-C8 alkyl;
- wherein R11 is an acid amide.
