PRO-FRAGRANCE SILICONE -POLYMER AND
COMPOSITIONS THEREOF
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a pro-fragrance silicone polymer and
compositions thereof, more specifically a pro-fragrance silicone polymer
derived
~o from an aminoalkyi polysiloxane and a fragrance carbonyl compound.
BACKGROUND
Most consumers have come to expect pleasingly scented laundry
products, as well as such products imparting the pleasing scent to laundered
~5 fabrics. Consumers also desire that laundered fabrics retain a pleasant
fragrance over time. Perfume additives have been employed to impart an
aesthetically pleasing scent io laundry products such as laundry detergents
and
fabric conditioners. In some case, these perfumes also impart their fragrance
to
fabrics treated with the perfumed laundry product. Consumers have also come
Zo to expect laundry products which provide a soft andlor smooth tactile
sensation
to the laundered products. Additionally, consumers have come to expect hair
products which produce a pleasing scent and providing softness to the hair.
Certain odoriferous acetals and ketats capable of producing additional
desirable odor upon hydrolysis, have long been known in pertumery. See
z5 Steffen Arctander, "Perfume and Flavor Chemicals," Arctander, N.J., 19fi9,
and
U_S. patent 5,37$,468, Suffis et al., issued January 3, 1995. Certain classes
of
acetals and ketals, formulated into detergent compositions can produce a
delayed release of fragrance. Such pro-fragrance acetals and ketals, once
deposited onto fabrics during washing process, tend to produce pleasing
3o fragrances upon hydrolysis of the acetals and ketals by humidity and sweat
during wearing of the laundered fabrics. See, PTCIUS96I04060, Mao et al.
_ Silicone polymers are widely known and have been used for providing
softness and smoothness to a surface, e.g., of skin, textile fibers, tissues,
and
hair. t7epending on structures and properties of silicone polymer, there are
two
s5 main areas for the use of such silicone polymer. One area is for surface
treating


CA 02323488 2000-09-12
WO 99/4631$ PG?t11S98/04950
2
to provide softness to materials such as fibers, tissues, or clothes as pre-
treating
agent. Conventional silicone polymers are also used in various products, e.g.,
cleaning or laundry detergents, fabric softeners, shampoos, heir conditioner,
which are applied later during process of washing, for maintaining softness of
- .
materials such as fabrics and hair. In addition, such products containing
silicone
polymers tend to be used on a daily basis to maintain softness or provide
further
softness to fabrics and/or hair.
Aminoalicy polysiloxanes are one type of conventional silicone polymer
employed as a softening agent in applications for washing; for example,
~o detergent, fabric softener, and the like. Such amino polysiloxanes can be
formulated alone or in combination with any materials commonly used in laundry
products, e.g., surtactants such as anionic, cationic, and nonionic
surfactants
and polyurethane in compositions. See Japan publication (KOKAI) H8-32x952,
issued December 10, 1996, and Japan patent publication (KQKAI) H8-246354,
~s issued September 24, 1996, and U.S. Patent 5,591,880 to Anthony J.
O'Lenick,
Jr, issued January 7, 1997. One class of amino polysiloxanes having an
alkylene
moiety is disclosed to provide improved dispersion in addition to softness to
fabrics. See U.S. Patent 5,378,7$7 to Vrckovnik et al., issued January 3,
1995.
Due to deposition property of silicone polymers to maintain softness of fabric
and
zo the hair, these silicone polymers are formulated into applications such as
detergents and softeners for daily washing in addition to pre-treatment.
However, neither of these approaches successfully provide a pro-
fragrance silicone polymer having improved deposition onto fabric andlor hair,
providing softness, andlor releasing a pleasant fragrance by hydrolysis.
2s Based on the foregoing, there is a need for providing a pro-fragrance
silicone polymer that can provide a fabric andlor hair softening effect,
andlor
desirable post-deposition release of a pleasant odor.

The pro-fragrance silicone polymer of the present invention is derived from
s an aminoalkyt polysiloxane and a fragrance carbonyl compound by condensation
which produces a schiff base unit. Such fragrance sources of the pro-fragrance
silicone polymer produce a pleasant fragrance. Without being bound by theory,
it
is believed that due to less volatility, a silicone polymer (e.g., aminoalkyl
polysiloxane) generally produces little smell so that the pro-fragrance
silicone
o polymer derived herein in itself tends to be smelled weakly d wring
depositing onto
the surface, e.g., of fabric or hair. Most of the pleasing smell is produced
by
hydrolysis of schiff base moiety of the pro-fragrance silicone polymer rather
than
provide good fragrance in a non-hydrolyzed state. Consequently, the pro-
fragrance silicone polymer herein releases a pleasant fragrance by hydrolysis.
~s Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction against condensation or dehydration.
The mechanism of hydrolysis generally proceeds against steps of condensation
on a reactive center. Such hydrolysis, herein, is caused on the schiff base of
structure (I) which is prepared by an aminoalkyl polysiloxane and a fragrance
carbonyl compound. The schiff base of the pro-fragrance silicone polymer tends
2o to be hydrolyzed by humidity and sweat when the pro-fragrance when
depositing
to the fabric and the hair. The hydrolysis of the pro-fragrance silicone
polymer
herein can be characterized by a half life less than fi0 minutes when measured
at
pH 0 by the Hydrolysis Half life (t-112) Test as described herein.
The pro-fragrance silicone polymers of the present invention are stable
under pH conditions encountered in the formulation and storage of products
containing the pro-fragrance silicone (e.g., laundry detergents, fabric
softeners,
shampoos, hair conditioners) which have a pH of from about 7.1 to about 13,
and
during solution-use of such products. Due to hydrophilicity and high degree of
heteroatom incorporation, these pro-fragrance compounds give reasonably good
3o deposition from e.g., a taundering solution onto fabrics (or lathering
solution to
hair.) Because the pro-fragrance silicone polymers are subject to hydrolysis
when the pH is reduced, they are hydrolyzed to release fragrance carbonyl
compound when the fabrics (or other surtace) upon which they have been
deposited are exposed even to reduced pH such as is present in rinse water and
ss humidity. Such a reduction in pH is preferably at least about 0.1, more
preferably


CA 02323488 2000-09-12

at least about 0.5 units. Preferably the pH is reduced by at least about 0.5
units
to a pH of about 7.5 or less, more preferably about 6.9 or less_ Preferably,
the
solution in which the fabric (or other surtace) is washed is alkaline_
The pro-fragrance silicone polymer of the present invention may be further - _
designed to readily disperse in aqueous solution and thereby result in
reasonably
good deposition, e_g_, from laundering solution onto fabric.

as
the primary amine. ,
The reaction can generally proceed under a catalyst and solvent. The .
preferred catalyst is a Lewis acid. Exemplary acidic catalysts are p--toluene
s sulfonic acid, methane sutfonic acid, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid,
suifosalicylic
acid, and mixtures thereof or supported sulfonic acid catalysts, e.g.,
AMB~RLYST 15T"". lNhen the catalysis is sensitive to strong acid conditions
and
can undergo undesirable side reactions, acid catalysts with pKa's among 3 and

are the most desirable to minimize unnecESSary side-reaction. Non-acidic
1o catalysts are useful in the present invention. Examples are Girder KSF,
boron
trifluoride etherate, potassium hydrogen sulfate, copper sulfate, and ion

The solvent useful herein can be any solvent used in the conventional
condensation or dehydration by Dean-Stark apparatus, which has sufficient
1s stability during the process. "SuffiClent stability" herein means a solvent
which
does not cause decomposition or degradation as a side-reaction during the
heating step. The preferred solvent is hexane, benzene, or toluene. See

E. Test Methods for Determining H~rdrolyrsis Half life (t-1121
Hydrolysis half life is the measurement used to determine the ease with
which the pro-fragrance silicone polymer undergoes acid hydrolysis and thereby
releases fragrance components) upon exposure to acid conditions. The pro-
~o fragrance silicone polymer of the present invention preferably has a half-
life of
less than f0 minutes, under the described hydrolysis conditions at pH 0; more
preferably a half-life at pH 2 of less than f0 minutes.
When the pro-fragrance silicone polymer is used in granular detergents,
the more reactive pro-fragrance silicone polymer, that is, those with half-
life at pH
~s 2 of less than one minute, are most suitable, although those having a half-
fife of
less than 60 minutes at pH 0 are also useful. For liquid detergent
applications,
pro-fragrance silicone polymers having a half life of less than 60 minutes at
pH 0,
and half life greater than one minute at pH 2 should preferably be used.
Hydrolysis half life is determined by UVIV spectroscopy in a 90110
2o dioxanelwater system at 30°C by following the appearance of the
carbonyl
absorbance. Because of the hydrophobicity of the pro-fragrance silicone
polymer
herein, a high dioxanelwater ratio is needed to ensure solubility of the pro
fragrance silicone polymer. The pH of the water used is achieved by using
aqueous HCI. The concentration of the pro-fragrance silicone polymer in the
25 dioxanelwater system can be adjusted to achieve convenient, measurable
absorbance changes.
All measurements are carried out using a Hewlett Packard 8452 A Diode
Array Spectrophotometer using quartz 1 cm path length cuvette cells. Materials
used include 1,4-dioxane HPLC Grade 99.9°/a (Sigma-Aldrich), 1 N HCI
volumetric
. 3o solution {J.T. Baker), deipnized water filtered with MiIIiQPIus
(Millipore) at
resistivity of '18.2 M Ohm cm_ The pH's are measured using an 4rion 230 A
_ standardized with pH 4 and pH 7 buffers. The 1 N HCI standard is used
directly
for pH 0 conditions. For pH 2 conditions, 1 N HCI is diluted with deionized
water.
Pro-fragrance silicone polymer is weighed out in a l0ml volumetric flask
35 using an analytical balance {Mettler AE 200) Precision is 1/10 mg. The
weighed

material is dissolved in about 8ml dioxane. Both the dioxane solution of pro-
fragrance silicone polymer and aqueous acid solution prepared as described
supra are pre-heated in their separate containers to a temperature of 3p _+
0.25°C by means of a water-bath. 1.OOOmI of aqueous acid solution is
added to -
s the pro-fragrance solution by means of an Eppendorf pipetter. This is
followed
by diluting to the l0rnl mark with dioxane- Hydrolysis time is measured,
starting
upon addition of the acid. The pro-fragrance solution is mixed for 30 seconds
by
shaking, and the solution is transferred to a quartz cuvette. The absorbance
of
the pro-fragrance solution (A~ is followed at a regular series of time
intervals,
~o and the cuvette is kept in the water-bath at the above-indicated
temperature
between measurements. Initial absorbance (Ao) measurements are carried out
using an equal concentration of pro-fragrance in a 90110 v/v dioxane -
deioniaed
water solution, and final absorbance (Af) measurements are taken using the
hydrolyzed pro-fragrance solution after the hydrolysis is complete- ; The
~s wavelength at which the hydrolysis is followed is chosen at the wavelength
of the
absorbance maximum of the starting fragrance carbonyl compound such as
aldehydes or ketones_
Reaction half lifes are determined using conventional procedures. The
observed first-order rate constant (kobs) is determined by slope of the fine
2o provided by plotting the following function vs time (min):
Ln [(Ao - Af)I (At - Af)l
wherein the function is the natural log of the ratio between the absorbance
difference at initial time (Ao) and final time (Af) over the absorbance
difference at
time t (A~ and final time (Af).
zs Half life as defined herein is the time required for half of the pro-
fragrance
silicone polymer to be hydrolyzed, and is determined from the observed rate
constant (kobs) bY the following function:
Ln ( 1/2) - -kobs t 112
F. Method of Use
3° I. Acceotabl Carrier
The pro-fragrance silicone polymer of the present invention can be used in
a variety of the products in different industries. For example, the products
which
desire the release of fragrances and providing softness to the hair and
fabrics.
In another aspect of the present invention, a composition has an effective
se amount of the pro-fragrance silicone polymer and an acceptable carrier.
Herein,


CA 02323488 2000-09-12

- "acceptable carrier' means one yr more compatible solid or liquid filler
diluent or
. encapsulating substances which do not substantially reduce the efficacy of
the
polymer. The specific carrier will depend upon the final form of the
composition.
For example, when the composition is a laundry detergent composition, the
s acceptable carrier would preferably be carriers which are acceptable during
washing and drying, e.g., detersive surfactants, builders, soil releasing
agents,
and the like.
Detergent Comr~osition
The pro-fragrance silicone polymer can be used in 'a detergent
1o composition. Preferably, the pro-fragrance silicone polymer formulated in a
detergent composition is at levels of from about 0.0001 % to about 20%; more
preferably from about 0.01 % to 10%.
The pro-fragrance silicone polymer can be used as the sole fragrance
compound of the detergent composition, or in combination with other pro
1s fragrances andlor in combination with other fragrance materials, extenders,
fixatives, diluents and the like. For example, incorporation of the pro-
fragrance
silicone polymer into a waxy substance, such as a fatty triglyceride, may
further
improve storage stability of the present pro-fragrance silicone polymer in
granular
laundry detergents, especially those comprising bleaches. In liquid or gel
forms
zo of detergent compositions, hydrophobic liquid extenders, diluents or
fixatives can
be used to form an emulsion wherein the pro-fragrance silicone polymer is
further
stabilized by separating it from the aqueous phase.
Nonlimiting examples of such stabilizing materials include dipropylene
glycol, diethyl phthalate and acetyl triethyl citrate. Just as there exist
2s - hydrophobic perfumery ingredients which can be used to stabilize the pro
fragrance silicone polymer, there also exist detergency ingredients which also
have a perfume stabilizing effect and can be formulated with the pro-fragrance
silicone polymer. Such ingredients include fatty acid amines, low foaming waxy
nonionic materials commonly used in automatic dishwashing detergents, and the
- 30 like. In general, where pro-fragrance silicone polymers are used along
with other
fragrance materials in detergent compositions herein, it is preferred that the
pro-
fragrance silicone polymer be added separately from the other fragrance

- a. Detersive Surfactants
The detergent composition incorporating a detersive surfactant, preferably _
a synthetic detergent surfactants, have a detergent level of from about 0.5%
to
about 50%, by weight. The detergent compositions containing soap preferably
include from about 10% to about 90°i6 soap_
Many detergent surfactants which are conventional for detergent
surfactants can be used. Mixtures of anionic and nonionic surfactants are
especially useful. Other conventional useful surtactants are listed in
standard
texts. See also U.S. Patent 3,664,961, issued May 23, 1972.
1o The detergent compositions herein, preferably, have a pH of from about
7.1 to about 13, more typically from about 7.a tQ about 9.5 for liquid
detergents
and from about 8 to about 12 for granular detergents when measured at 1
concentration of the distilled water at 20°C _
b. Additional Detergent Ingredients
~ s In addition to the pro-fragrance silicone polymer, detergent compositions
may further include one or more additionai detergent ingredients, commonly
used
in detergent products, such as materials for assisting or enhancing cleaning
performance, treatment of the substrate to be cleaned, or to modify the
aesthetics of the detergent composition (e.g., conventional perfumes,
colorants,
2o dyes, etc.). Such additional ingredients are known to those skilled in the
art. The
following are illustrative examples of other detergent ingredients.
(i) Builders - Detergent builders can optionally be included in the
compositions herein to assist in controlling mineral hardness and in the
remaval
of particulate soils. Suitable builders include those of U_S. Patent
3,308,067,
2s issued Mar. 7, 1967; 4,144,2.26, issued Mar. 13, 1979 and 4.246,495, issued
Mar. 27, 1979. Inorganic as well as organic builders can be used.
The level of builder can vary widely depending upon the end use of the
composition and its desired physical form. When present, the compositions will
typically comprise at least about 1 % builder. Preferably, liquid formulations
3o typically comprise from about 5% to about 50%, and granular formulations _
typically comprise from about 10% to about $0%. Lower or higher levels of
builder, however, are not meant to be excluded_
ii Soil Release Agents - Soil Release agents are desirably used in
laundry detergents of the instant invention. Suitable soil release agents
include
3s those of U.S. Patent 4,968,451, issued Nov. 6, 1990; the nonionic end-
capped

1,2-propylene/polyoxyethylene terephthalate polyesters of U.S. Patent
4,711,730, Dec. 8, 1987; the partly- and fully- anionic-end-capped oligomeric
esters of U.S. Patent 4,721,580, issued Jan. 26, 1988; the nonionic-Capped
block
polyester oligomeric compounds of U.S. Patent 4,702,857, issued Oct. 27, 1987;
and the anionic, especially sulfoaroyl, end-capped terephthalate esters of
U.S.
Patent 4,877,89fi, issued Oct. 31, 1989. Another preferred soil release agent
is
a suffonated end-capped type described in U.S. Patent 5,415,807.
c. Other Ingiredients
The compositions herein can contain other ingredients such as enzymes,
~o bleaches, fabric softening agents, dye transfer inhibitors, suds
suppressors, and
chelating agents, all well known within the art.
d. Formulations With or Without Conventional PerFumer~r Materials
While the pro-fragrance silicone polymer of the present invention can be
used alone and simply mixed with essential detergent ingredient, most notably
~s surfactant, they can also be desirably combined into three-part
formulations
which combine (a) a non-fragrance detergent base containing one or more
synthetic detergents. (b) one or more pro-fragrance silicone polymers in
accordance with the invention and (c) a fully-formulated fragrance_ The latter
provides desirable in-package and in-use (wash-time) fragrance, while the pro-
zo fragrance provides a long-term fragrance to the laundered textile fabrics.
It is
preferred that the pro-fragrance silicone polymer be added separately from the
conventional fragrances to the detergent compositions.
e. Formulations with other Special-Purpose Fragrance Delivering
Compounds
25 laetergent compositions in accordance with the present invention may
further, optionally, contain other known compounds having the capability to
substantively enhance a fragrance_ Such compounds include, but are not limited
to, the aluminum alkoxides such as isobutylaluminium diferanylate as disclosed
in U.S. Patent 4,055,634, issued Oct. 25, 1977; or the known ~titanate and
3a zirconate esters or oligoesters of fragrant materials such as those
disclosed in
U.S. Patent 3,947,574, issued March 30, 1976 and U.S. Patent 3,779,932,
issued Dec. 18, 1973. When using such organoaluminium, organotitanium or
organozinc derivatives, they may be incorporated into the detergent
compositions
of the present invention described herein at their art-known levels.
