Abstract:
A process for the production of triglycerides of C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl esters of C.sub.6 -C.sub.22 fatty acids:a) where dry sodium carbonate catalyst is dissolved in glycerol and mixed with a molar excess of preferably the methyl ester of C.sub.6 -C.sub.22 fatty acid at a temperature between about 150.degree. C. and 250.degree. C. at less than atmospheric pressure and under substantially anhydrous conditions to produce an initial reaction mixture containing the corresponding triglycerides of said fatty acids, and partially reacted glycerol with unreacted hydroxyl groups (OH values 10-40),b) thereafter, a portion of the initial reaction mixture is reacted with additional C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl ester of C.sub.6 -C.sub.22 fatty acid under conditions to achieve substantially full conversion of said unreacted hydroxyl groups (OH values of 5 or less), andc) a product containing the corresponding triglycerides of said fatty acids is separated from unreacted alkyl ester and from the sodium carbonate catalyst. Improved light colored triglyceride products are achieved and can be separated readily from the sodium carbonate catalyst by filtration.
Abstract:
Quaternary ammonium compounds containing one or two long-chain ester or amide radicals of etherified hydroxycarboxylic acids and, for the remainder, short-chain radicals, which are liquid to pasty substances that may readily be dissolved or dispersed in water or alcohol/water mixtures. They may be used in dilute or concentrated, storable form for softening fabrics without the absorbency of the treated fabrics being adversely affected. The quaternary ammonium compounds are obtained by reaction of epoxyfatty acid esters with amines and subsequent quaternization.
Abstract:
Process for the manufacture of quaternary ammonium compounds by reacting a compound having a terminal epoxide troup with a salt of a tertiary amine in the presence of a quaternary ammonium compound as catalyst.
Abstract:
Process for the manufacture of quaternary ammonium compounds by reacting a compound having a terminal epoxy group with a tertiary amine which is partly present as the free amine and partly present in the form of a salt, followed by the addition of sufficient acid at the end of the reaction to complete salt formation of the quaternary ammonium compound.
