Patent number: 5545748Abstract: Polyglycolate compounds are provided having the general structure: ##STR1## wherein n is an integer from 2 to about 10; R is C.sub.1-20 linear or branched alkyl, alkoxylated alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, alkylaryl, substituted aryl; R' and R" are independently H, C.sub.1-20 alkyl, aryl, C.sub.1-20 alkylaryl, substituted aryl, and NR.sub.3.sup..alpha.+, wherein R.sup..alpha. is C.sub.1-30 alkyl; and L is a leaving group displaceable in a peroxygen bleaching solution by perhydroxide anion. When this compound is combined with a source of peroxgen in aqueous solution, then a plurality of stain removing peracids are formed. Such peracids are formed substantially sequentially beginning with the carbonyl adjacent to the leaving group L. Thus, a first stain removing peracid having the structure ##STR2## will be formed in amounts approaching quantitative yield.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 1994Date of Patent: August 13, 1996Assignee: The Clorox CompanyInventors: Richard R.

Patent number: 5049305Abstract: A perhydrolysis system is provided which includes peroxyacid precursors and a source of peroxygen. Upon dissolution in water these compositions provide high yields of a novel peroxyacid having the structure ##STR1## where R is hydrogen or an alkyl of not more than 5 carbon atoms. The precursors may include hydroxyl nitrogen derivatives as leaving groups, since the .alpha.-substituted phenoxy moiety enhances carbonyl reactivity toward perhydroxyl anion.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 1990Date of Patent: September 17, 1991Inventors: Alfred G.

Patent number: 4814110Abstract: The present invention provides a method of esterifying dihydroxybenzene starting materials to synthesize unsymmetrical diesters in high yield. Many of the resultant unsymmetrical diesters are useful in dry bleaching compositions. The method can be practiced by selectively monoacylating a dihydroxybenzene starting material with an acid anhydride to form an intermediate monoester having the structure ##STR1## which is then acylated to form a diester reaction product having the structure ##STR2## wherein R.sub.1 is greater than R.sub.3 (and both R.sub.1 and R.sub.3 are alkyl groups) and X is a substituent group which does not participate in the esterification (or which can have a protecting group thereon).Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 1986Date of Patent: March 21, 1989Assignee: The Clorox CompanyInventors: Ronald A. Fong, Richard R. Rowland

Patent number: 4613332Abstract: A dry bleaching composition, particularly useful for low temperature applications, is provided in which generation of hypochlorite by reaction between a peroxygen bleaching agent and a chloride salt is promoted by an aromatic diol or oxidized aromatic diol activator. Preferred activators are in ester form and provide hypochlorite generation at levels of less than about 20 ppm for at least about the first two minutes following dissolution of the compositions in aqueous solution, but rising to effective bleaching levels within a reasonable time thereafter. The initially low hypochlorite level assists in the functioning of laundry additives, such as fabric brighteners.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 1984Date of Patent: September 23, 1986Assignee: The Clorox CompanyInventors: Victor M.
