Abstract:
This application relates to thiophene azo dyes for use as hueing agents, laundry care compositions comprising such thiophene azo dyes, processes for making such thiophene azo dyes, and laundry care compositions and methods of using the same. The thiophene azo dyes contain a formally charged moiety and are generally comprised of at least two components: at least one chromophore component and at least one polymeric component. Suitable chromophore components generally fluoresce blue, red, violet, or purple color when exposed to ultraviolet light, or they may absorb light to reflect these same shades. These thiophene azo dyes are advantageous in providing a hueing effect, for example, a whitening effect to fabrics, while not building up over time and causing undesirable blue discoloration to the treated fabrics. The thiophene azo dyes are also generally stable to bleaching agents used in laundry care compositions.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of laundering fabric comprising the step of contacting a liquid laundry detergent composition comprising a bleach ingredient to water to form a wash liquor, and laundering fabric in said wash liquor, wherein the bleach ingredient has a logP o / w greater than about 0, wherein the bleach ingredient is capable of generating species having a X SO of from about 0.01 to about 0.30, wherein the laundry detergent is contacted to water in such an amount so that the concentration of the laundry detergent composition in the wash liquor is from above 0g/l to 4g/l, and wherein from 0.01kg to 2kg of fabric per litre of wash liquor is dosed into said wash liquor.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a solid laundry detergent composition comprising multiple catalysts and water-soluble electrolyte, wherein the ratio of (i) the total reduction in activation energy in kilojoules per mole achieved by the catalysts to (ii) the electrolytic strength of the laundry detergent composition at a concentration of 1g/l in de-ionized water and at a temperature of 25 o C in mScm-1 laundry detergent composition is at least 300.
Abstract:
The present disclosure describes processes for the epimerization of a cyclohexene comprising the steps of providing to a reactor a first isomer of a 1-(2-alkyl-3-cyclohexen-1-yl)-alkanone compound according to Formula I I wherein R1 ad R2 are each independently C1-C4 alkyl, and R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, and R8 are each independently selected from the group consisting of H and C1-C4 alkyl; and epimerizing the first isomer of the 1-(2-alkyl-3-cyclohexen-1-yl)-alkanone with a metal alkoxide base to form a second isomer of the 1-(2-alkyl-3-cyclohexen-1-yl)-alkanone.
