Abstract

The synthesis of phenol sulfonate esters of alkanoyl amino acids is conducted in the presence of aqueous base to provide bleach activator compounds. Thus, the acid chloride of N-nonanoyl-6-aminocaproic acid is reacted with the sodium salt of p-phenol sulfonate in the presence of water at a pH in the range of about 9 to about 12 to yield the corresponding phenol sulfonate ester. The synthesis of the phenol sulfonate ester of the monononyl amide of adipic acid is also illustrated.
