Abstract: A method of making a triarylmethane leuco compound comprises reacting an aromatic aldehyde compound, a first oxyalkylenated aryl compound, and a second oxyalkylenated aryl compound in a condensation reaction in the presence of an acidic catalyst to produce the triarylmethane leuco compound. The first oxyalkylenated aryl compound is oxyalkylenated with ethylene oxide. The second oxyalkylenated aryl compound is oxyalkylenated with propylene oxide or with both ethylene oxide and propylene oxide.

Abstract: This invention relates to bis-azo colorants for use as bluing agents, laundry care compositions comprising bis-azo colorants that may serve as bluing agents, processes for making such bluing agents and laundry care compositions and methods of using the same. The bluing agents are generally comprised of at least two components: at least one chromophore component and at least one polymeric component. These bluing agents are advantageous in providing a whitening effect to fabrics, while not building up over time and causing undesirable blue discoloration to the treated fabrics.
