Abstract

Abstract This disclosure concerns: (a) Compounds having the molecular structure represented by the formula: ##STR1## wherein M is selected from the group consisting of --H, --CH 3 , --C 2 H 5 , --NH 4 , --Na, --K and combinations thereof; R is selected from the group consisting of an alkyl radical (branched or straight chain) containing up to about C 20 , --CH(CO 2 M) 2 , and --CH 2 CO 2 M, and R' is selected from the group consisting of an alkyl radical (branched or straight chain) containing up to about C 20 , --H, and --OR; (b) a method for making the compounds of (a); (c) solid and liquid detergent compositions comprising compounds of (a), and (d) washing processes employing the compounds of (a) and/or the compositions of (c).
