Description

In one aspect the invention relates to novel quaternized compounds which possess viscosity enhancing and hair conditioning properties, particularly in the presence of anionic surfactants. In another aspect the invention relates to novel quaternized compounds having bactericidal properties. Still another aspect of the invention relates to the preparation of said quaternized compounds and in still another aspect, the invention relates to the use of said compounds in several fields of application.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The selection of components for hair and skin treating formulations presents numerous difficulties involving compatibility. Several hair treatment and shampoo formulations have been developed which aim to provide conditioning action during cleansing so as to leave the hair soft, manageable and lustrous and thus to eliminate a separate application of creme rinses or conditioning treatments. Problems arise from the limited compatibility of anionic detergents with commercial cationic conditioning agents which precipitate out of solution in shampoo formulations.

Shampoo formulations have employed conventional anionic surfactants such as sodium lauryl sulfate, ammonium lauryl sulfate, amine lauryl sulfates and sodium lauryl sulfate ethers which have been found to be incompatible with most cationic conditioning at effective concentration levels.

Additionally, reproducible thickening for formulations containing anionic detergents such as sodium .alpha.-olefin sulfonates is very difficult to achieve.

Still another problem encountered in hair conditioning shampoos is one of a preservative nature. It has been found that shampoos, containing inadequate preservative, on standing develop strands of Pseudomonas aerouginosa which are clearly visible in the liquid and which may cause scalp infection. Consequently, separate biocidal agents are added to the formulation to prevent development of this bacteria and prevent skin infection. These and many other problems are encountered in the formulation of various shampoos, conditioners and cream rinses. Certain of these difficulties are also encountered in skin lotions, healing salves, mouthwashes, etc.

Accordingly it is an object of this invention to minimize or obviate the above problems while providing additional benefits in hair and skin treating formulations.

Another object of the invention is to provide novel quaternized nitrogen containing compounds having unique properties.

Another object is to provide novel quaternized nitrogen containing compounds having excellent hair conditioning and thickening properties when incorporated into a shampoo and having high compatibility with components of hair and skin treating formulations.

Another object is to provide an economical and commercially feasible method for the preparation of said novel quaternized nitrogen containing compounds.

Still another object is to provide processes for the use of said quaternized compounds.

These and other objects will become apparent from the following description and disclosure.

THE INVENTION

According to this invention there is provided quaternized compounds having unique properties and defined by the formula ##STR2## wherein m is an integer having a value of from 1 to 4; R is alkylene having from 3 to 9 carbon atoms and is optionally substituted with C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkyl; R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are each independently selected from the group of alkyl, alkyl oxide, alkylhydroxy, alkoxy, aryl, aralkyl, alkaryl and alkyl amidoalkyl radicals, said groups each having from 1 to 30 carbon toms and at least one of R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 being a radical having from 8 to 30 carbon atoms; and X.sup.- is a chloride, bromide or iodide anion.

The present quaternary compounds possess unique properties, among which is their ability to build viscosity, while simultaneously providing a hair and skin conditioning capability in cosmetic formulations containing anionic surfactants. These compounds are highly compatible with .alpha.-olefin sulfonates and anionic surfactant salts conventionally employed in shampoos and skin lotions. Their compatibility is such that up to 5% by weight or more of the quaternized compounds can be incorporated in the formulation, a characteristic which permits the formation of effective formulations as liquids or gels. In contrast, most prior quaternary viscosity building conditioning compounds are incorporatable only up to 0.5 or 1 wt. percent based on total anionic formulations. The pyrrolidonyl compounds which contain an octadecyl substituent on the quaternary nitrogen are particularly outstanding for their compatability, viscosity building and conditioning properties. The pyrrolidonyl products having a hexadecyl substituent on the terminal amino nitrogen are outstanding for their biocidal properties and can be used in a mouthwash or as a highly compatable preservative in shampoo, hair creams and hand or body lotions. It is contemplated that mixtures of the pyrrolidonyl compound, such as the C.sub.16 and C.sub.18 alkyl terminally substituted compounds, can be employed in shampoos, hair conditioners and lotions as an agent which incorporates thickening, conditioning and preservative qualities in one additive; thus eliminating the need for separate chemical components to accomplish these individual needs. These mixtures may also be used to control dandruff or bacterial infections of the scalp and body skin. Generally, the quaternary compounds of this invention are mixed with a standard formulation of shampoo, cream rinse, hand or body lotion or creams, mouthwash, etc., in an effective amount which ranges from between about 0.05 to about 8% by weight, preferably between about 0.5 and about 5% by weight, of the total formulation. The present compounds are also compatible with anionic .alpha.-olefin sulfonate which property is surprising since most anionic compounds cause precipitation of cationic agents. However, the present compounds in concentrations up to 5% by weight show no tendency to precipitate after extended periods including periods up to 6 months or more.

The quaternary pyrrolidonyl compounds of this invention are prepared by an economically feasible process which involves the reaction between a tertiary amine and a N-haloalkyl lactam having a 5 to 10 membered ring. A general equation for the preparation is defined by the equation: ##STR3## wherein m, R, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and X- are as defined above and X is chloro, bromo or iodo.

Examples of suitable lactam reactants include the N-chloromethyl, N-bromomethyl and N-iodomethyl derivatives of 2-pyrrolidone, 4-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, 4-butyl-2-pyrrolidone, 2-piperidinone, 2-piperidone, methyl-2-piperidinone, 2-caproyl, hexahydro-2-(1H)-azacinone, octahydro-2H-azaonin-2-one, octahydro-2-(1H)-azecinone and C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkyl substituted derivatives located on an alkylene group in the heterocyclic ring of these lactams. Mixtures of these lactam reactants can also be employed to provide a correspondingly mixed quaternary product, if desired. Of these lactam reactants the N-halomethyl-2-pyrrolidones and N-halomethyl caprolactams are preferred and the N-chloromethyl lactams are most preferred.

Preferred tertiary amines employed in the present process include reactive methyl and ethyl tertiary amines having one or two C.sub.8 to C.sub.22 alkyl groups, for example N-methyl-N,N-didecyl amine, N,N-dimethyl-N-octadecyl amine, N,N-dimethyl-N-dodecyl amine, N,N-dimethyl-N-hexadecyl amine, N,N-dimethyl-N-eicosyl amine, and N-ethyl-N,N-dihexadecyl amine. However, also included in the scope of this invention are reactive amines wherein a C.sub.8 to C.sub.30 alkyl group is itself substituted with alkoxy of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, phenyl, benzyl, amido, can be employed, as well as tertiary amines having 1 to 3 aryl groups, eg. phenyl, benzyl, tolyl, xylyl, etc., such as triphenyl amine, dimethyl tolyl amine, ethyl di(phenyl) amine, methyl di(nonylphenyl) amine, dimethyl chlorophenyl amine and other halo substituted phenyl amines. Tri- C.sub.8 to C.sub.22 alkyl amines can also be employed in the reaction, examples of which include trihexadecyl amine, trioctadecyl amine, tridodecyl amine, tridecyl amine, etc. Also included are heterocyclic tertiary amines such as morpholine, imidazoline, piperazine, pyridine etc.

The most preferred amine reactants of this invention are those defined by the formula ##STR4## wherein R.sub.1 is methyl, R.sub.2 is methyl or C.sub.8 to C.sub.22 alkyl and R.sub.3 is C.sub.8 to C.sub.22 alkyl.

The process is effected by reacting the tertiary amine and the haloalkyl lactam at a temperature between about 25.degree. and about 150.degree. C., preferably between about 60.degree. and about 100.degree. C., under a pressure of from about 0 to about 50 psig, preferably atmospheric pressure, for a period up to about 10 hours, usually not more than 5 hours is required to complete the reaction. From the above equation, it is seen that stoichometric amounts of haloalkyl lactam and amine are used in the reaction. However, an excess of one or the other of the components is practicible in the process. Generally, for economic considerations, a mole ratio of between 1:1.5 and about 1.5:1 is employed; although, a slight excess of the tertiary amine to insure complete reaction of the lactam is recommended. Accordingly, the most preferred mole ratio of lactam to amine is about 1:1.01-1:1.03.

It is also recommended that the haloalkyl lactam be added gradually or dropwise to the amine at the beginning of the ensuing exothermic reaction. At the completion of the reaction, a solid product is formed and recovered. Since the reaction is quantitative, the product can be used as is or, when a slight excess of the amine is employed, it can be neutralized with a weak acid such as acetic, lactic or citric acid.

For incorporating into a standard formulation of shampoo, cream rinse, hand or body lotion, etc., the present product is dissolved in an inert solvent such as water, propylene glycol, ethanol, etc., and the solution in the desired amount is mixed into the formulation to provide a homogeneous liquid, gel, cream or lotion. Incorporation of the present product is usually affected at room temperature under atmospheric pressure and requires no special formulating technique. However, for certain formulations incorporation of the present product can be effected at temperatures up to about 85.degree. C. Amphoteric-containing shampoo formulations are best prepared by initially preparing an aqueous solution of the quaternized product and the amphoteric surfactant and then adding the solution to the shampoo formulation.

Having generally described the invention, reference is now had to the accompanying examples which set forth preferred embodiments, but which are not to be construed as limiting to the scope of the invention as more broadly set forth above and in the appended claims.

To a 1 liter, 4-neck flask equipped with mechanical stirrer, reflux condenser, thermometer, and dropping funnel was added N,N-Dimethyl-N-Octadecyl Amine (150.29 g, 0.505 mole) which was heated with stirring to 70.degree. C. under N.sub.2 blanket after which the heating source was removed and N-chloromethyl-2-pyrrolidone (66.8 g, 0.5 mole) was added to the amine dropwise over a period of 25 minutes. An exothermic reaction ensued and was controlled at 100.degree. C. by the rate of addition of N-chloromethyl-2-pyrrolidone.
