- Diester amine adducts
-
Described are diester amine adducts of formula (1) wherein R1, R2, R3, R4are each independently of one another C4-C22alkyl; C2-C22alkenyl; or C5-C7cycloalkyl; X1and X2are each independently of the other hydrogen, C1-C4alkyl; C2-C4hydroxyalkyl or C2-C4hydroxyhaloalkyl; Y is a radical of formula (1b); A1is C2-C3alkylene or 2-hydroxy-n-propylene; X3is hydrogen; C1-C4alkyl, C2-C4hydroxyalkyl; or C2-C4hydroxyhaloalkyl; (A) is an asymmetrical carbon atom in the R- or S-configuration, wherein, if C1=R, C2=R; C1=S, C2=S; and C1=R; C2=S; m1is 1 or 2; and n is an integer from 1 to 4; p is 0 or 1; which adducts may be in the form of free bases or ammonium salts. Said compounds are precursors of compounds having good complex-forming properties and are thus able to effectively bind heavy metal ions such as iron, zinc, magnesium or copper ions and to prevent metal-initiated oxidations after enzymatic or chemical cleavage. They have a plurality of uses, for example in foods, beverages, derusting and decalcification baths, as additives in liquids for cooling-water circuits, in personal-care products, as bleaching stabilizers, in cleaning agents and detergents, in the textile industry and also as soft handle agents for organic fibre materials.
