Abstract

Bleaching compositions are provided that comprise two nitrile groups where each nitrile is bonded to a quaternary nitrogen through a methylene unit. The quaternary nitrogens are part of a saturated ring. This saturated ring contains from two to eight atoms in addition to the quaternary nitrogen. A source of active oxygen will react with the nitrites for bleaching applications.
