Houben-Weyl, Vol. 11/2, pp. 408-412 (1958), Thieme-Verlag, Stuttgart.

Als Lösemittel kommen vorzugsweise Wasser zum Einsatz, oder mit Wasser mischbare organische Lösemittel, wie Methanol, Ethanol, n-Propanol, iso-Propanol, tertiär-Butanol, Dioxan oder Tetrahydrofuran. Es können auch Mischungen dieser organischen Lösungsmittel untereinander oder ihre Mischungen mit Wasser verwendet werden. Bei wäßrigen Mischungen wird zweckmäßigerweise zum Gewicht des Wassers 10 bis 70 Gew.% organisches Lösungsmittel gegeben.Water is preferably used as the solvent, or organic solvents which are miscible with water, such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, tertiary butanol, dioxane or tetrahydrofuran.

Bei einer zweckmäßigen und bevorzugten Reaktionsführung wird das Natrium- oder Kaliumsalz des Serins in einem der o.g. Lösungsmittel oder Lösungsmittelgemische, wobei eine wäßrige Lösung bevorzugt wird, mit dem Formaldehyd in Form seiner wäßrigen, ca. 30 gew.%igen Lösung und der flüssigen Blausäure bei den bevorzugten Temperaturen von 15 bis 25°C umgesetzt.In an expedient and preferred reaction procedure, the sodium or potassium salt of the serine in one of the abovementioned solvents or solvent mixtures, with an aqueous solution being preferred, with the formaldehyde in the form of its aqueous, about 30% by weight solution and the liquid hydrocyanic acid the preferred temperatures of 15 to 25 ° C implemented.

Für die Umsetzung mit flüssiger Blausäure kommen zweckmäßigerweise pH-Bereiche von 0 bis 11, vorzugsweise 3 bis 9, in Betracht, die entsprechend mit einer Säure oder Base eingestellt werden können.For the reaction with liquid hydrocyanic acid, pH ranges from 0 to 11, preferably 3 to 9, are expedient, which can be adjusted accordingly with an acid or base.

Das entstandene Zwischenprodukt Serin-N,N-diacetonitril ist in der Literatur noch nicht beschrieben.The resulting intermediate, serine-N, N-diacetonitrile, has not yet been described in the literature.

In der Regel schließt sich für die vorliegenden Nitrilgruppen und ggfs. vorhandenen Ester- oder Amidgruppen eine Hydrolyse oder Verseifung zur Carbonsäure in an sich üblicher Weise in einem wäßrigen Reaktionsgemisch ggfs. nach Zusatz von Wasser in Gegenwart von Alkalien, wie Natrium- oder Kaliumhydroxid, oder von Säure, wie Schwefel- oder Salzsäure, an.As a rule, for the nitrile groups present and any ester or amide groups present, hydrolysis or saponification to give the carboxylic acid is carried out in a conventional manner in an aqueous reaction mixture, if appropriate after adding water in the presence of alkalis, such as sodium or potassium hydroxide, or of acid such as sulfuric or hydrochloric acid.

Diese Hydrolyse wird zweckmäßigerweise bei Temperaturen von 20 bis 110°C, vorzugsweise 40 bis 100°C, durchgeführt, bei ggfs. geringem Überschuß an Base oder Säure.This hydrolysis is expediently carried out at temperatures from 20 to 110 ° C., preferably 40 to 100 ° C., with a slight excess of base or acid, if necessary.

Entsprechend den Reaktionsbedingungen wird bevorzugt die Serin-N,N-diessigsäure oder ein Alkalisalz erhalten. Anschließend können ohne weiteres Salze mit einem anderen Kation hergestellt werden.According to the reaction conditions, the serine-N, N-diacetic acid or an alkali salt is preferably obtained. Then salts with another cation can be prepared without further notice.

Falls erforderlich, kann auch umgekehrt aus der erhaltenen Säure in üblicher Weise ein Säurederivat hergestellt werden.If necessary, an acid derivative can also be produced in the usual way from the acid obtained.

Die Verbindungen der Formel I können ohne Schwierigkeiten in reiner Form isoliert werden. Für die freie Säure und die Salze bieten sich insbesondere Sprüh- oder Gefriertrocknung, Kristallisation oder Fällung an. Es kann vorteilhaft sein, die angefallene Lösung direkt einer technischen Verwendung zuzuführen.The compounds of formula I can be isolated in pure form without difficulty. Spray or freeze drying, crystallization or precipitation are particularly suitable for the free acid and the salts. It can be advantageous to use the resulting solution directly for technical use.

Das erfindungsgemäße Herstellungsverfahren hat gegenüber bekannten Verfahren insbesondere zur Herstellung von Serin-N,N-diessigsäure und ihren Salzen den Vorteil, daß praktisch keine anorganische Salzlast anfällt. Aufgrund der leichten Verfügbarkeit der Ausgangsverbindungen werden außerordentlich günstige großtechnische Verfahren zur Verfügung gestellt.The production process according to the invention has the advantage over known processes, in particular for the production of serine-N, N-diacetic acid and its salts, that there is practically no inorganic salt load. Due to the easy availability of the starting compounds, extremely inexpensive large-scale processes are made available.

Die durch die Erfindung hergestellte Serin-N,N-diessigsäure und ihre Salze sind in hervorragender Weise geeignet, Erdalkali- und Schwermetallionen, insbesondere Calcium-, Magnesium- sowie Eisen-, Kupfer-, Nickel- und Manganionen, zu komplexieren. Aufgrund dieser Fähigkeit weisen sie eine Vielzahl von technischen Anwendungsmöglichkeiten auf. Da es sich um biologisch sehr gut abbaubare Verbindungen handelt, können sie in großen Mengen überall dort eingesetzt werden, wo die Abwässer geklärt werden müssen und auch phosphorhaltige Verbindungen vermieden werden sollen.The serine-N, N-diacetic acid and its salts produced by the invention are outstandingly suitable for complexing alkaline earth and heavy metal ions, in particular calcium, magnesium as well as iron, copper, nickel and manganese ions. Because of this ability, they have one Variety of technical applications. Since they are biodegradable compounds, they can be used in large quantities wherever the waste water has to be clarified and phosphorus-containing compounds should also be avoided.

In Wasch- und Reinigungsmitteln können die genannten Komplexbildner eingesetzt werden, um den Gehalt an freien Schwermetallionen in den Waschmitteln selbst und in den Waschlösungen zu kontrollieren. Die Einsatzmenge als Komplexbildner beträgt zweckmäßigerweise 0,1 bis 2 % bezogen auf das Gesamtgewicht der Waschmittelbestandteile.The complexing agents mentioned can be used in washing and cleaning agents in order to control the content of free heavy metal ions in the washing agents themselves and in the washing solutions. The amount used as a complexing agent is advantageously 0.1 to 2% based on the total weight of the detergent components.

Ihre vorteilhafte Wirkung liegt auch in einer Bleichmittelstabilisierung, beispielsweise für Natriumperborat, in Waschmitteln und bei der Bleiche von Textilien, Zellstoff oder Papierrohstoff. Spuren von Schwermetallen wie Eisen, Kupfer und Mangan, kommen im Waschpulver selbst, im Wasser und im Textilgut vor und katalysieren die Zersetzung des Natriumperborates. Die genannten Komplexbildner binden diese Metallionen und verhindern die unerwünschte Zersetzung des Bleichsystems während der Lagerung und in der Waschflotte. Dadurch erhöht sich die Effizienz des Bleichsystems und Faserschädigungen werden zurückgedrängt.Their advantageous effect also lies in bleach stabilization, for example for sodium perborate, in detergents and in the bleaching of textiles, cellulose or paper raw materials. Traces of heavy metals such as iron, copper and manganese occur in the washing powder itself, in the water and in the textile goods and catalyze the decomposition of the sodium perborate. The complexing agents mentioned bind these metal ions and prevent the undesired decomposition of the bleaching system during storage and in the wash liquor. This increases the efficiency of the bleaching system and fiber damage is suppressed.

Zusätzlich werden Enzyme, opt. Aufheller und Duftstoffe vor schwermetallkatalysierter oxidativer Zersetzung geschützt.In addition, enzymes, opt. Brighteners and fragrances protected from heavy metal catalyzed oxidative decomposition.

In flüssigen Waschmittelformulierungen können die genannten Komplexbildner als sog. Konservierungsmittel, zweckmäßig in einer Menge von 0,05 bis 1 Gew.%, bezogen auf das Gesamtgewicht der Waschmittelformulierung, eingesetzt werden.In liquid detergent formulations, the complexing agents mentioned can be used as so-called preservatives, advantageously in an amount of 0.05 to 1% by weight, based on the total weight of the detergent formulation.

In Seifen verhindern die genannten Komplexbildner beispielsweise metallkatalysierte oxidative Zersetzungen.In soaps, for example, the complexing agents mentioned prevent metal-catalyzed oxidative decomposition.

Weiterhin dienen sie in hervorragender Weise in Wasch- und Reinigungsmitteln als Gerüststoff (Builder), um Ausfällungen und Inkrustationen auf dem Gewebe zu verhindern.Furthermore, they serve as an excellent builder in detergents and cleaning agents to prevent precipitation and incrustation on the fabric.

Sie können in vorteilhafter Weise überall dort eingesetzt werden, wo bei technischen Verfahren Ausfällungen von Ca-, Mg- und Schwermetallsalzen stören und verhindert werden sollen. Beispielsweise zur Verhinderung von Ablagerungen und Verkrustungen in Kesseln, Rohrleitungen, an Sprühdüsen oder allgemein an glatten Oberflächen.They can advantageously be used wherever the precipitation of calcium, magnesium and heavy metal salts is to be disrupted and prevented in technical processes. For example, to prevent deposits and incrustations in boilers, pipelines, on spray nozzles or generally on smooth surfaces.

Sie können zur Stabilisierung von Phosphaten in alkalischen Entfettungsbädern und Verhinderung der Ausfällung von Kalkseifen dienen und verhindern dadurch das "Anlaufen" von Nichteisenoberflächen und verlängern die Standzeiten von alkalischen Reinigerbädern.They can be used to stabilize phosphates in alkaline degreasing baths and prevent the precipitation of lime soaps, thereby preventing "tarnishing" of non-ferrous surfaces and extending the service life of alkaline cleaning baths.

Sie können als Komplexbildner in alkalischen Entrostungs- und Entzunderungsbädern verwendet werden sowie in galvanischen Bädern anstelle von Cyaniden, um Verunreinigungen zu maskieren.They can be used as complexing agents in alkaline rust removal and descaling baths as well as in galvanic baths instead of cyanides to mask impurities.

Die Kühlwasserbehandlung mit den genannten Komplexbildern verhindert Ablagerungen bzw. löst bereits vorhandene wieder auf. Von Vorteil ist die Anwendung in alkalischem Medium und damit die Beseitigung von Korrosionsproblemen.The cooling water treatment with the complex images mentioned prevents deposits or dissolves existing ones. Use in an alkaline medium and thus the elimination of corrosion problems is an advantage.

Bei der Polymerisation von Kautschuk können sie zur Herstellung der dabei verwendeten Redoxkatalysatoren verwendet werden. Sie verhindern zusätzlich das Ausfallen von Eisenhydroxid im alkalischen Polymerisationsmilieu.When polymerizing rubber, they can be used to produce the redox catalysts used. They also prevent the precipitation of iron hydroxide in the alkaline polymerization environment.

In der photographischen Industrie können die genannten Komplexbildner in Entwickler/Fixierbädern, die mit hartem Wasser angesetzt werden, verwendet werden, um die Ausfällung schwerlöslicher Ca- und Mg-salze zu verhindern. Die Ausfällungen führen zur Grauschleiern auf Filmen und Bildern sowie Ablagerungen in den Tanks, die somit vorteilhaft vermieden werden können. Eisen-III-Komplexbildnerlösungen können vorteilhaft in Bleichfixierbädern eingesetzt werden, wo sie die aus ökologischen Gründen bedenklichen Hexacyanoferratlösungen ersetzen können.In the photographic industry, the complexing agents mentioned can be used in developer / fixing baths which are prepared with hard water in order to prevent the precipitation of poorly soluble calcium and magnesium salts. The precipitations lead to gray haze on films and images, as well as deposits in the tanks, which can thus advantageously be avoided. Iron III complexing agent solutions can advantageously be used in bleach-fix baths, where they can replace the hexacyanoferrate solutions, which are of ecological concern.

In der Textilindustrie können sie zur Entfernung von Schwermetallspuren während des Herstellungs- bzw. Färbeprozesses von natürlichen und synthetischen Fasern dienen. Dadurch werden viele Störungen verhindert: Schmutzflecken und Streifen auf dem Textilgut, Verlust des Glanzes, schlechte Benetzbarkeit, unegale Färbungen und Farbfehler.In the textile industry, they can be used to remove traces of heavy metals during the manufacturing or dyeing process of natural and synthetic fibers. This prevents many faults: dirt stains and streaks on the textile, loss of gloss, poor wettability, uneven dyeing and color errors.

In der Papierindustrie können sie zur Eliminierung von Schwermetall/Eisenionen verwendet werden. Die Ablagerung von Eisen auf Papier führt zu "heißen Flecken", an denen die oxidative, katalytische Zerstörung der Zellulose beginnt.In the paper industry they can be used to eliminate heavy metal / iron ions. The deposition of iron on paper leads to "hot spots" where the oxidative, catalytic destruction of cellulose begins.

Als verschiedene Anwendungen kommen beispielsweise Anwendungen in Pharmazeutika, Kosmetika und Nahrungsmitteln in Betracht, um die metallkatalysierte Oxidation von olefinischen Doppelbindungen und damit das Ranzigwerden der Erzeugnisse zu verhindern.For example, applications in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and foodstuffs are considered as various applications in order to prevent the metal-catalyzed oxidation of olefinic double bonds and thus the rancidity of the products.

In der Pflanzenernährung werden zur Behebung von Schwermetalldefiziten Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn-Komplexe verwendet. Die Schwermetalle werden als Chelate zugegeben, um die Ausfällung als biologisch inaktive, unlösliche Salze zu verhindern.In plant nutrition, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn complexes are used to remedy heavy metal deficits. The heavy metals are added as chelates to prevent precipitation as biologically inactive, insoluble salts.

Weitere Anwendungsgebiete für die genannten Komplexbildner sind die Rauchgaswäsche, und zwar die Entfernung von NOx aus Rauchgasen, die H₂S-Oxidation, die Metallextraktion, sowie Anwendung als Katalysatoren für org. Synthesen (z.B. Luftoxidation von Paraffinen, Hydroformylierung von Olefinen zu Alkoholen).Other areas of application for the complexing agents mentioned are flue gas scrubbing, namely the removal of NO x from flue gases, H₂S oxidation, metal extraction, and use as catalysts for org. Syntheses (e.g. air oxidation of paraffins, hydroformylation of olefins to alcohols).

Die genannten Komplexbildner für Erdalkali- und Schwermetallionen werden als Komplexbildner allgemein und ganz besonders hervorzuheben in Wasch- und Reinigungsmitteln sowie Spül- und Waschhilfsmitteln, insbesondere als Komplexbildner für Schwermetall- und/oder Erdalkaliionen, als Bleichmittelstabilisatoren sowie als Gerüststoffe (Builder) verwendet.The complexing agents mentioned for alkaline earth and heavy metal ions are used as complexing agents in general and very particularly in detergents and cleaning agents and dishwashing detergents, in particular as complexing agents for heavy metal and / or alkaline earth metal ions, as bleach stabilizers and as builders.
