Definitions
- R and R are either straight chain or predominantly straight chain but dissimilar alkyls, each ranging from 7 to 15 carbons, and at least one of which has an odd number of carbons, the sum of the carbon atoms in R and R being in the range of from 20 to 22 carbons; and wherein X is a biocidally acceptable anion preferably derived from a halogen such as bromine or chlorine, or which may be methosulfate.
- a biocidally acceptable anion preferably derived from a halogen such as bromine or chlorine, or which may be methosulfate.
- This invention relates to the biocidal use of certain water-soluble unsymmetrical di-higher alkyl dimethyl ammonium salts.
- hard water is generally used to describe water having an appreciable amount of carbonates, bicarbonates, sulfates and chlorides of calcium and magnesium, and sometimes also of iron.
- hard water also includes the possible presence of alkaline earths and heavy metal ions in general. By appreciable amount is meant at least about 75 p.p.m. to about 500 p.p.m. Very hard water is that which contains over 1,000 p.p.m.

- R and R are either straight chain or predominantly straight chain but dissimliar alkyls, each ranging from 7 to 15 carbons, and at least one of which has an odd number of carbons, the sum of the carbon atoms in R and R being in the range of 20 to 22 carbons; and wherein X is a biocidally acceptable anion preferably derived from a halogen such as bromine or chlorine. It is also possible to use methosulfate, although much less preferable since the results are not as effective and the compounds are somewhat more diflicult to make.
- straight chain or predominantly straight chain alcohols such as may be obtained by the oxo-reaction of alpha-olefins.
- an oxo-drived alcohol containing about 20% by weight C 30% by weight C13, 30% by weight C and 20% by weight C may be converted to a tertiary amine and quaternized.
- Decene-l may be converted to a C amine via the C oxo-alcohol.
- the biocides of the present invention are effective in very hard water in a concentration of the biocide of between about 100 to 1,000 p.p.m.
- the preferred and most efiective range is about 200 to 400 p.p.m.
- the present compounds are all easily prepared in various manners.
- the following examples are illustrative of their preparation.
- EXAMPLE 1 Equimolecular amounts of dodecyl dimethyl amine and nonyl bromide were mixed with an amount of 99% isopropanol equal to about the weight of the mixture of the amine and the bromide. The mixture was then heated at the reflux temperature (about 88 to 90 C.) and at atmospheric pressure for a period of about eight hours, or until the reaction appeared to be complete. It was determined by argentometric titration that the yield was about 90% complete after five hours, and essentially complete (about 98-99%) overnight on the steam bath. The product was then cooled to room temperature and the concentration adjusted to 50 weight percent by the addition of 99% isopropanol.
- EXAMPLE 4 Using the same procedure as in Examples 1, 2 and 3, and using the same reaction conditions, the di-higher alkyl dimethyl ammonium bromides shown in Table I hereinafter, as well as the corresponding chlorides, were prepared from the corresponding alkyl dimethyl amines and alkyl bromides and chlorides.
- the aforesaid unsymmetrical quaternary ammonium compounds may also be prepared by a two-stage process whereby an unsymmetrical di-higher alkyl monomethyl amine is first prepared by the interaction of an alkyl halide, such as chloride or bromide, and an alkyl monomethyl amine. Then after liberating the tertiary amine, by treatment with a caustic, from its hydrohalide salt,
- an alkyl halide such as chloride or bromide
- EXAMPLE 5 Equimolecular amounts of dodecyl monomethyl amine and nonyl bromide were mixed with an amount of 99% isopropanol equal to about the combined weight of the amine and the bromide. The mixture was then heated at about 90 C., under agitation, and under reflux, at atmospheric pressure, for a period of hours until the reaction was essentially complete as indicated by argentometric titration of the bromide ion. The solution was then mixed with about twice its volume of water plus about 1 to 1.2 molecular equivalent of NaOH. The liberated tertiary amine (nonyl dodecyl monomethyl amine) was then separated in a separatory funnel, washed with water, and dried.
- EXAMPLE 6 The tertiary amine of Example 5 was quaternized by reaction with methyl chloride, in an agitated pressure vessel at about 90 C., in a medium of 99% isopropanol, along with about 3% of water and 0.5% of sodium bicarbonate as an acid acceptor. Methyl chloride was then passed into the vessel at such a rate as to maintain a pressure of less than 30 p.s.i. in the reactor, the addition of the methyl chloride being continued until no further reaction occurred, as indicated by failure of the pressure to fall when the methyl chloride supply was cut off.
- the corresponding bromide was prepared in a similar manner by reacting the tertiary amine with methyl bromide at about 50-55 C., at about atmospheric pressure.
- EXAMPLE 7 A process similar to Example 6 was used to obtain the corresponding methosulfate, except that the reaction was conducted at about 60 C. and a stoichiometric amount of dimethyl sulfate was used as the reactant.
- alkyl halide may then be employed as a quaternizing agent for the tertiary amines, or it may be reacted with either monomethyl amine or dimethyl amine to form the corresponding higher alkyl monomethyl amine or higher alkyl dimethyl amine. It may theretafter be reacted according to the foregoing examples to yield the unsymmetrical dihigher alkyl dimethyl ammonium quaternary salts of this invention. This type of reaction is shown by the following example:
- EXAMPLE 8 The alcohol derived by the 0x0 reaction from decene-l, which yields a mixture of n-undecanol and alpha-methyl decanol, was halogenated by reaction with hydrogen chloride to yield the undecyl chloride. This chloride was then reacted with dodecyl monomethyl amine in the manner described in Example 5 to form undecyl dodecyl monomethyl amine. This was quaternized by reaction with methyl chloride in the same manner described in Example 6, to yield the unsymmetrical di-higher alkyl dimethyl ammonium salt.
- any desirable alcohol other than isopropanol may be used, or any other feasible solvent may be substituted.
- the organism used was Escherichia call, the inoculum containing a concentration of the organism in the order of 100,000,000 per milliliter.
- the compound used was the bromide salt.
- the product of this invention may be used for the disinfection or sanitization of hard surfaces; for the sanitization of textile and other fabrics; as topical antiseptics; in water treatment; and for other bactericidal, fungicidal and algacidal purposes where quaternary ammonium compounds are compatible.
- the products When mixed with an equal amount of a non-ionic surfactant, such as alkyl phenol ethoxylate, the products retain a substantial proportion of their efiicacy. They also remain substantially potent in the presence of small amounts of anionic surfactants of the protein.
- a non-ionic surfactant such as alkyl phenol ethoxylate
