    Abstract: Novel quaternary ammonium salts of the general formula [R1R2R3N(A-O)n-R4]+Z- where R1 and R2 are identical or different and each is alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, alkylaryl, alkoxyalkyl, or a (poly)alkylene glycol radical, or R1 and R2, together with the nitrogen atom, are a heterocyclic ring, or one or more substituents R1 or R2 are polyfunctional so that the salt contains not less than 2 ammonium groups, R3 and R4 are identical or different monovalent radicals of one or more alkylating agents R3X or R4X, for example an (ar)alk(en)yl halide, sulfate or methosulfate or an (alkyl)aryl-sulfonate or -sulfonic acid ester, A is alkylene of 2 to 10 carbon atoms, n is an integer and Z is either X or another salt-forming anion or a hydroxyl ion, are prepared by N-alkylation and O-alkylation of an alkanolamine with the aid of a phase transfer catalyst and are useful as cationic surfactants, etc.
