Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a percarboxylated polymer effectively by adding hydrogen peroxide to a suspension of a polymer essentially consisting of structural units derived from a monoolefinically unsaturated dicarboxylic anhydride in an inert diluent. SOLUTION: A percarboxylated polymer (B) is prepared by adding hydrogen peroxide to a suspension of a polymer essentially consisting of structural units derived from a monoolefinically unsaturated carboxylic acid anhydride (A) in an inert diluent. A is a cyclic dicarboxylic acid, more particularly maleic, citraconic or glutaconic anhydride which may be substituted with an alkyl or a phenyl. The monoetheylenically comonomer combined therewith is suitably N-vinylpyrrolidone, an N-vinyllactam, N-vinylcaprolactam or the like and also may be an N-vinylamide or a vinyl ester. The source of hydrogen peroxide is advantageously a 30-60wt.% aqueous solution. Product B can be easily isolated from the reaction mixture by filtration or the like and can be used in, e.g. blanching.

Abstract:
The invention describes a process for the preparation of surfactant alcohols and surfactant alcohol ethers which are, inter alia, highly suitable as surfactants or for the preparation of surfactants. The process, starting from olefin mixtures having a defined minimum content of linear hexenes, gives mixtures having a predominant fraction of branched dodecenes, which are subsequently derivatized to give surfactant alcohols and then optionally alkoxylated. The surfactant alcohol mixture obtained in the process has a degree of branching of from 2.0 to 3.0 and in particular exhibits advantageous properties as regards ecotoxicity and biodegradability. A description is also given of the use of the surfactant alcohols and surfactant alcohol ethers as surfactants by glycosidation or polyglycosidation, sulfation or phosphation.
