Abstract

Abstract Compounds having the formula <IMAGE> wherein R represents a C8-C14 aliphatic radical; R1 represents a C1-C4 lower alkyl radical; R2 and R3 each represent H or CH3; M1 and M2 represent cations of hydrogen, ammonium, alkyl ammonium, alkali metal, or an equivalent of alkaline earth metal; n is an integer having an average value of from 5 to 10; s and t can either be 0 or 1 but both cannot be simultaneously 0; and A represents an anionic radical such as hydroxide, halogen, sulfate, alkyl sulfate, etc. are useful as essentially non-iritating and high foaming amphoteric surface active agents for shampoo and other cosmetic applications. Preferably R is a naturally derived or synthetic alkyl group containing 10-12 carbon atoms.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim 114 words
A method comprising washing human hair and skin with an aqueous composition containing an effective washing amount of an amphoteric surface active compound of the formula: ##STR4## wherein R is C 8-14 alkyl, R 1 is C 1-2 alkyl or benzyl; y 1 and y 2 are each integers, the sum of which ranges from about 5 to about 50; Z 1 is, with the bonded O atom, a sulfate ester group in free acid form or in the form of its sodium, potassium, magnesium or calcium salt, Z 2 is H or Z 1 ; and A is a halide, sulfate or C 1-2 alkyl sulfate anion; or a mixture of such compounds.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 114 words
A method comprising washing human hair and skin with an aqueous composition containing an effective washing amount of an amphoteric surface active compound of the formula: ##STR4## wherein R is C 8-14 alkyl, R 1 is C 1-2 alkyl or benzyl; y 1 and y 2 are each integers, the sum of which ranges from about 5 to about 50; Z 1 is, with the bonded O atom, a sulfate ester group in free acid form or in the form of its sodium, potassium, magnesium or calcium salt, Z 2 is H or Z 1 ; and A is a halide, sulfate or C 1-2 alkyl sulfate anion; or a mixture of such compounds.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 19 words
