Abstract

Abstract 1,3-Butadienes which are substituted at both terminal carbon atoms with phenyl, naphthyl, theinyl or furyl groups or one benzoxazolyl group are useful as optical brighteners for detergents. The butadienes, some of which are known, can be obtained by HORNER syntheses.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 175 words
A detergent composition consisting essentially of as optical brightener 0.01 to 2% by weight of a compound of the formula (1) A -- CH = CH -- CH = CH -- B (1) in which A is phenyl, naphthyl or 2-thienyl and B is 2-benzoxazolyl or defined as A, which radicals A and B are unsubstituted or substituted by lower alkyl; lower alkoxy; phenyl; lower alkyl substituted by phenyl; chlorine; cyano; lower alkanoylamino; benzoylamino; carboxy or sulfo or a group of the formula --COOR, --CONR.sup.1 R.sup.2, --SO.sub.2 OR, --SO.sub.2 NR.sup.1 R.sup.2, --COR.sup.3 or SO.sub.2 R.sup.4 in which R is lower alkyl or phenyl, which radicals R are unsubstituted or substituted by hydroxy, lower alkoxy, lower dialkylamino or lower trialkylammonium; R 1 and R 2 are hydrogen or lower alkyl or R 1 and R 2 together with the nitrogen are piperidino or morpholino; R 3 is lower alkyl or phenyl and R 4 is lower alkyl or phenyl which radicals R 4 are unsubstituted or substituted by lower dialkylamino, lower trialkylammonium, lower alkanoylamino or sulfo.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 175 words
A detergent composition consisting essentially of as optical brightener 0.01 to 2% by weight of a compound of the formula (1) A -- CH = CH -- CH = CH -- B (1) in which A is phenyl, naphthyl or 2-thienyl and B is 2-benzoxazolyl or defined as A, which radicals A and B are unsubstituted or substituted by lower alkyl; lower alkoxy; phenyl; lower alkyl substituted by phenyl; chlorine; cyano; lower alkanoylamino; benzoylamino; carboxy or sulfo or a group of the formula --COOR, --CONR.sup.1 R.sup.2, --SO.sub.2 OR, --SO.sub.2 NR.sup.1 R.sup.2, --COR.sup.3 or SO.sub.2 R.sup.4 in which R is lower alkyl or phenyl, which radicals R are unsubstituted or substituted by hydroxy, lower alkoxy, lower dialkylamino or lower trialkylammonium; R 1 and R 2 are hydrogen or lower alkyl or R 1 and R 2 together with the nitrogen are piperidino or morpholino; R 3 is lower alkyl or phenyl and R 4 is lower alkyl or phenyl which radicals R 4 are unsubstituted or substituted by lower dialkylamino, lower trialkylammonium, lower alkanoylamino or sulfo.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 22 words
A composition as defined in claim 1, consisting of 99 to 99.98% of a detergent and 0.02 to 1% of said brightener.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 66 words
A composition as defined in claim 1, wherein the brightener has the formula 1, in which A is phenyl, naphthyl or 2-thienyl and B is 2-benzoxazolyl or defined as A, which radicals A and B are unsubstituted or substituted by lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, phenyl, chlorine, cyano, carboxy, sulfo, lower carboalkoxy or lower carboalkoxy substituted in the alkyl moiety by di-(lower alkyl)-amino or tri-(lower alkyl)-ammonium methosulfate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 34 words
A composition as defined in claim 1, wherein the brightener has the formula 1, in which A is phenyl, naphthyl, 2-thienyl, lower alkoxyphenyl, cyanophenyl or biphenylyl and B is 2-benzoxazolyl or defined as A.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 23 words
A composition as defined in claim 1, wherein the brightener has the formula 1, in which A and B are biphenylyl or naphthyl.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 26 words

Claim 8
Dependent Claim 26 words
A composition as defined in claim 1, wherein the brightener has the formula 1, in which A is 2-naphthyl and B is 1-naphthyl, 2-naphthyl or p-biphenylyl.
