Problems solved by technology

This yellowness is often difficult to reverse by normal laundering procedures.
Unfortunately, current bluing agents either do not provide a hueing benefit after a single treatment cycle and/or they build up to an undesirable level, thus ov

example 1

[0160]To an aqueous suspension of 11.68 grams of p-acetamidobenzenesulfonyl chloride cooled to 15-20° C. is added 8.15 grams of 3-(2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethoxy)propylamine at a rate sufficient to keep the temperature below 20° C. Aqueous sodium hydroxide solution is added as needed to keep the pH at >7. After 2 hours of stirring, the reaction is complete and 50 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid is added, and the mixture refluxed until the infrared spectrum indicated that the acetyl group has been cleaved. The mixture is cooled to 0-5° C. and 3.58 grams of sodium nitrite is added to the mixture and stirred for 2 hours. The resulting diazonium salt is added to a cooled solution of 6.85 grams of 2-methoxy-5-methylaniline in dilute aqueous hydrochloric acid resulting in a deep orange red product. This product is further diazotized at 0-5° C. by adding 3.58 grams of sodium nitrite with additional hydrochloric acid as necessary to keep the pH at max of 569 nm in water.

example 2

[0161]The product represented as Formula BA13 herein is prepared in a similar manner to Example 1 except 7.65 grams of 2,5-dimethoxyaniline are substituted for 2-methoxy-5-methylaniline. The product has a λmax of 583 nm in water.

example 3

[0162]The product represented as Formula BA31 herein is prepared in a similar manner to Example 1 except 9.75 grams of N-acetyl-H acid are substituted for H acid. The product has a λmax of 560 nm in water.

Abstract

This invention relates to bis-azo colorants for use as bluing agents, laundry care compositions comprising bis-azo colorants that may serve as bluing agents, processes for making such bluing agents and laundry care compositions and methods of using the same. The bluing agents are generally comprised of at least two components: at least one chromophore component and at least one polymeric component. These bluing agents are advantageous in providing a whitening effect to fabrics, while not building up over time and causing undesirable blue discoloration to the treated fabrics.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]This invention relates to bis-azo colorants for use as bluing agents, laundry care compositions comprising bis-azo colorants that may serve as bluing agents, processes for making such bluing agents and laundry care compositions and methods of using the same. The bluing agents are generally comprised of at least two components: at least one chromophore component and at least one polymeric component. These bluing agents are advantageous in providing a whitening effect to fabrics, while not building up over time and causing undesirable blue discoloration to the treated fabrics.BACKGROUND[0002]As textile substrates age, their color tends to fade or yellow due to exposure to light, air, soil, and natural degradation of the fibers that comprise the substrates. Thus, the purpose of bluing agents is generally to visually brighten these textile substrates and counteract the fading and yellowing of the substrates. Typically, bluing agents may be found in laundry detergent...
