Description:
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION 
       [0001]    This non-provisional application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) on Patent Application Nos. 2011-026789 and 2011-194619 filed in Japan on Feb. 10, 2011 and Sep. 7, 2011, respectively, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. 
       TECHNICAL FIELD 
       [0002]    This invention relates to novel amino acid-modified silane compounds and a method for preparing the same. These silane compounds are useful as paint additives, adhesives, silane coupling agents, textile treating agents, surface treating agents, and the like. 
       BACKGROUND ART 
       [0003]    Amino-containing silane compounds are known useful as surface treating agents which are applied to substrates to render their surfaces hydrophilic and as textile treating agents which are applied to fibers and fabrics to impart hydrophilic properties. Exemplary compounds include aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, aminopropylmethyldimethoxysilane, aminoethylaminopropyltrimethoxysilane, and aminoethylaminopropylmethyldimethoxysilane. While these amino-containing silane compounds can impart hydrophilic properties, they are less effective for imparting antifouling and antifungal properties to the treated surface. 
         [0004]    Also known are those compounds capable of imparting not only hydrophilic, but also antifouling and antifungal properties to the treated surface. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses silane compounds having a tetraalkylammonium group such as 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyloctadecyldimethylammonium chloride. Patent Documents 1 and 2 disclose silane compounds containing a sulfobetaine group and silane compounds containing quaternary ammonium and carboxyl groups. 
         [0005]    However, these compounds are still unsatisfactory. Although the tetraalkylammonium-containing silane compounds described in Patent Document 1 can impart antifungal properties, they fail to impart satisfactory antifouling properties because the treated surfaces of substrates or fabrics are electrostatically charged positive by the tetraalkylammonium group, allowing dust and debris to deposit on the surface owing to electrostatic adsorption. Since the sulfobetaine-containing silane compounds described in Patent Documents 2 and 3 and the silane compounds containing tetraalkylammonium and carboxyl groups described in Patent Document 3 form a zwitter-ion in the molecule, the treated surfaces of substrates or fabrics are less electrostatically charged than the treatment with the tetraalkylammonium-containing silane compounds. The sulfobetaine-containing silane compounds have a bias toward the negative charge side due to the sulfonic acid group which is a strong acid, and the silane compounds containing tetraalkylammonium and carboxyl groups have a bias toward the positive charge side due to the tetraalkylammonium group. Because of such a bias from electrical neutrality, no satisfactory antifouling properties are available.

       DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION 
       [0009]    An object of the invention is to provide amino acid-modified silane compounds capable of imparting satisfactory antifouling and hydrophilic properties and a method for preparing the same. 
         [0010]    The inventors have found that a certain amino acid-modified silane compound exhibits improved hydrophilic and antifouling properties since it is free of a bias of electric charge. When the compound is used as a surface treating agent or textile treating agent, the treated surface is kept electrically neutral because electric charges are offset by a weakly acidic amino group and a weakly basic carboxyl group. As a consequence, the adsorption to the surface by an electric charge is minimized. This ensures improved hydrophilic and antifouling properties. 
         [0011]    In one aspect, the invention provides an amino acid-modified silane compound having the general formula (1): 
         [0000]    
       
                 
         
             
             
         
       
     
         [0000]    wherein R 1 , R 4  and R 5  each are hydrogen or a substituted or unsubstituted, C 1 -C 20  monovalent hydrocarbon group, R 2  and R 3  each are a substituted or unsubstituted, C 1 -C 20  monovalent hydrocarbon group, R 6  is hydrogen, a substituted or unsubstituted, C 1 -C 20  monovalent hydrocarbon group, or carboxyl group, a is 0 or 1, b is an integer of 1 to 10, and n is 0, 1 or 2. 
         [0012]    Preferably in formula (1), R 1 , R 4  and R 5  each are hydrogen, R 6  is hydrogen or carboxyl group, a is 1, b is 3, and n is 0, 1 or 2. 
         [0013]    Typical of the silane compound of formula (1) are
   N-(3-trimethoxysilylpropyl)-β-alanine,   N-(3-methyldimethoxysilylpropyl)-β-alanine,   N-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)-β-alanine,   N-(3-methyldiethoxysilylpropyl)-β-alanine,   N-(3-trimethoxysilylpropyl)aspartic acid,   N-(3-methyldimethoxysilylpropyl)aspartic acid,   N-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)aspartic acid, and   N-(3-methyldiethoxysilylpropyl)aspartic acid.   
 
         [0022]    In another aspect, the invention provides a method for preparing the amino acid-modified silane compound of formula (1), comprising de-triorganosilylation reaction of a silyl-protected, amino acid-modified silane compound having the general formula (2): 
         [0000]    
       
                 
         
             
             
         
       
     
         [0000]    wherein R 1′  is R 1  or a triorganosilyl group of R 10 R 11 R 12 Si—, R 1 , R 4  and R 5  each are hydrogen or a substituted or unsubstituted, C 1 -C 20  monovalent hydrocarbon group, R 2  and R 3  each are a substituted or unsubstituted, C 1 -C 20  monovalent hydrocarbon group, R 6′  is hydrogen, a substituted or unsubstituted, C 1 -C 20  monovalent hydrocarbon group, or silyl-protected carboxyl group, R 7 , R 8 , R 9 , R 10 , R 11  and R 12  each are a substituted or unsubstituted, C 1 -C 20  monovalent hydrocarbon group, a is 0 or 1, b is an integer of 1 to 10, and n is 0, 1 or 2. 
       ADVANTAGEOUS EFFECTS OF INVENTION 
       [0023]    When the amino acid-modified silane compound is used as a surface treating agent or textile treating agent, the treated surface is kept electrically neutral because electric charges are offset by a weakly acidic amino group and a weakly basic carboxyl group. As a consequence, the adsorption to the surface by an electric charge is minimized. This ensures improved hydrophilic and antifouling properties. The compound is thus useful as paint additives, adhesives, silane coupling agents, textile treating agents, surface treating agents, and the like.
