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, ammonium lauryl ether sulfate and sodium lauryl ether sulfate which have been found to be incompatible with most cationic conditioning agents at effective concentration levels.

Additionaly, reproducible thickening for formulations containing anionic detergents such as sodium .gamma.-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

The present quaternary compounds possess unique properties, among which is their ability to build viscosity, e.g. for liquids having a viscosity less than 50 centipoises, while simultaneously providing hair and skin conditioning capability in cosmetic formulations containing anionic surfactants. In the context of this application, "conditioning" includes the functions of moisturizing, softening, cleansing, penetrating, disinfecting, luster enhancing, hair combability, dye leveling, thickening, dye retention and others. These compounds are highly compatible with .gamma.-olefin sulfonates and anionic surfactant salts conventionally employed in shampoos, skin lotions and textile treating products. 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 incorporable only up to 0.5 or 1 wt. percent based on total anionic formulations. The pyrrolidonyl compounds which contain an octadecyl moiety on the quaternary nitrogen are particularly outstanding for their compatability, viscosity building and fiber and hair conditioning properties. The pyrrolidonyl products having a hexadecyl or dodecyl moiety on the quaternized nitrogen possess antibacterial properties and can be used in a mouthwash or as a highly compatible preservative in shampoo, hair conditioners and hand or body lotions. It is contemplated that mixtures of pyrrolidonyl compounds, such as those containing C.sub.16 and C.sub.18 alkyl terminally substituted compounds, can be employed in shampoos, hair conditioners, skin lotions and textile softeners as an agent which incorporates thickening, scroop, 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 compatability of the present compounds with anionic .gamma.-olefin sulfonates 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 ether 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, p, 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-piperidone, methyl-2-piperidone, 2-azacycloheptanone, 2-azacyclooctanone, 2-azacyclononanone, 2-azacyclodecanone and other C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkyl substituted derivatives bonded to 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.

The tertiary ether amines employed in the present process include reactive methyl and ethyl tertiary species containing at least one group having 8 to 22 carbon atoms, for example N-methyl-N,N-[3-di(decyloxy)propyl] amine, N,N-dimethyl-N-[3-(octadecyloxy)propyl] amine, N,N-dimethyl-N-[2-(dodecyloxy)ethyl] amine, N,N-dimethyl-N-[4-(hexadecyloxy)butyl] amine, N,N-dimethyl-N-[3-(eicosyloxy)propyl] amine, N-ethyl-N,N-[3-di(hexadecyloxy)propyl] amine and others including any of the ether amines corresponding to the forenamed quaternized products of this invention, e.g. N-phenyl-N,N-[3-di(decyloxy)propyl] amine, N-dodecyl-N,N-[2-di(ethoxy)ethyl] amine, N-(3-octadecanamidopropyl)-N,N-[2-di(methoxy)ethyl] amine, etc., ether amine based on mixtures of synthetic alcohols such as NEODOL 25 (a mixture of C.sub.12 to C.sub.15 primary alcohols, average molecular weight of 203), NEODOL 23 (a mixture of C.sub.12 to C.sub.15 primary alcohols, average molecular weight of 197) and cocoalcohol types such as ALFOL 810 (a mixture of C.sub.8 and C.sub.10 alcohols), ALFOL 1012 (a mixture of C.sub.10, C.sub.12 and C.sub.14 alcohols), ALFOL 1216 (a mixture of C.sub.12, C.sub.14 and C.sub.16 alcohols) and ALFOL 1218 (a mixture of C.sub.12, C.sub.14, C.sub.16 and C.sub.18 alcohols) etc. However, also included in the scope of this invention are reactive ether amines wherein a C.sub.8 to C.sub.30 group is itself substituted with alkoxy of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, phenyl, benzyl, amido, as well as tertiary ether amines having 1 to 2 aryl groups, e.g. phenyl, benzyl, tolyl, xylyl, etc., such as a bisphenyl ether amine, a ditolyl ether amine, a benzyl phenyl ether amine, and halo substituted phenyl ether amines. Tri- C.sub.8 to C.sub.22 alkoxyalkyl amines can also be employed in the reaction, examples of which include

N,N,N-tris[3-(hexadecyloxy)propyl] amine, N,N,N-tris[4-(octadecyloxy)butyl] amine, N,N,N-tris[2-(dodecyloxy)ethyl] amine, N,N,N-tris[3-(decyloxy)propyl] amine, etc.

The preferred ether amine reactants of this invention are those defined by the formula: ##STR4## wherein R.sub.2 is methyl, R.sub.3 is methyl or --(CH.sub.2).sub.p OR.sub.1 and R.sub.1 is C.sub.8 to C.sub.22 alkyl.

The process is effected by reacting the tertiary ether 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 stoichiometric amounts of haloalkyl lactam and amino ether are used in the reaction. However, an excess of one or the other of the components is practicable 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 ether amine to insure complete reaction of the lactam is recommended. Accordingly, the most preferred mole ratio of lactam to ether amine is about 1:1.01 and about 1:1.03.

It is also recommended that the haloalkyl lactam be added gradually or dropwise to the ether amine at the beginning of the ensuing exothermic reaction. At the completion of the reaction, the solid quaternized product is formed and recovered. Since the reaction is quantitative, the product can be used as is or, when a slight excess of the ether 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, dye bath or textile treating formulation, etc., the present product can be diluted with an inert diluent such as water, propylene glycol, ethanol, etc. The solution in the desired concentration can then be mixed into the formulation to provide a homogeneous liquid, gel, cream or lotion. However, since the present products in solvents are generally liquid at room temperature, they may be directly incorporated into a formulation. 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.
