ACIDOS AMIDO PEROXICARBOXILICOS PARA BLANQUEAR

UN AMIDO PEROXIDO CON FORMULA (I) DONDE R ES SELECCIONADA DEL GRUPO QUE CONSTA DE C{SUB,1}-C{SUB,16}ALQUILENO, C{SUB,5}C{SUB,12}CICLOALQUILENO, RADICALES C{SUB,1}-C{SUB,12}ARILENO; R{SUP,1} Y R{SUP,2} SE SELECCIONAN DEL GRUPO QUE CONSTA HIDROGENO, C{SUB,1}-C{SUB,16}ALQUIL, C{SUB,5}C{SUB,12}CICLOALQUIL Y C{SUB,6}-C{SUB,12} RADICALES DE ARIL; R{SUP,3} SE SELECCIONA DEL GRUPO QUE CONSTA DE C{SUB,1}C{SUB,16}ALQUILENO, C{SUB,5}-C{SUB,12}CICLOALQUILENO Y C{SUB,6}C{SUB,12} RADICALES DE ARILENO; N Y M SON ENTERON CUYA SUMA ES 1, Y M SE SELECCIONA DEL GRUPO QUE CONSTA DE HIDROGENO, METAL ALCALI, METAL DE TIERRA ALCALINO, AMONIACO Y CATIONES Y RADICALES DE ALCANOLAMONIACO C{SUB,1}-C{SUB,10}. EL AMIDO PEROXIACIDO ES UTIL PARA BLANQUEAR SUSTRATOS TALES COMO ROPA MANCHADA, VAJILLAS, Y SUPERFICIES DURAS DEL HOGAR. UN METODO Y COMPOSICION DE BLANQUEADO QUE INCLUYE UN SURFACTANTE. An amido peroxyacid is provided having the formula: (III) wherein: R is selected from the group consisting of C1-C16 alkylene, C5-C12 cycloalkylene and C6-C12 arylene radicals; R1 and R2 are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C1-C6 alkyl, C5-C12 cycloalkyl and C6-C12 aryl radicals; R3 is selected from the group consisting of C1-C16 alkylene, C5-C12 cycloalkylene and C6-C12 arylene radicals; n and m are integers whose sum is 1; and M is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium and C1-C10 alkanolammonium cations and radicals. The amido peroxyacid is useful for bleaching substrates such as stained laundry, dishware and household hard surfaces. A method and bleaching composition that includes a surfactant is also described.
