Abstract:
Described is the use of terminal group capped fatty acid amide alkoxylates of the formula (I): R1-CO-NH-(CH¿2?)n-O-(AO)x-R?2¿ in which R1 is a C¿5?-C21 alkyl or akenyl group, R?2¿ is a C¿1?-C4 alkyl group, A is C2-C4 alkylene, n is 2 or 3 and x is a number from 1 to 6, as non ionic surfactants or emulsifiers in washing, cleaning or bodycare agents, as surface-active substances for applications in the electroplating field, in the photographic industry, in the transport of crude oil, in the pharmaceutical industry, in plant nutrition and in plant-protection formulations, as well as surface-active substances for use in the manufacture of emulsions, pigments and synthetic-polymer dispersions.
Abstract:
The proposed method of producing free N-acyl amino-carboxylic and sulphonic acids from their alkali metal salts produced without solvents involves precipitation with aqueous acids. This is done by adding to the alkali metal salts a quantity of the appropriate free N-acyl amino-carboxylic and sulphonic acids equivalent to 5-100 wt % of the quantity of alkali metal salts before mixing with the aqueous acids.
Abstract:
In order to produce N-acylamino carboxylic and N-acylaminosulphonic acids and their alkaline metal salts from industrial alkaline metal salts of aminocarboxylic or aminosulphonic acids with an active content from 50 to 95 % by weight, in relation to the solid content of the industrial alkaline metal salts, and from carboxylic acid alkyl esters, (a) a suspension of solid water-free industrial alkaline metal salts of aminocarboxylic or aminosulphonic acids in carboxylic acid alkyl esters is prepared; (b) the suspension is made to react by admixture of more than 30 and up to 150 % by moles of strong bases into the alkaline metal salts of N-acylaminocarboxylic or N-acylaminosulphonic acids; and (c) if desired free N-acylaminocarboxylic or N-acylaminosulphonic acids are produced therefrom in the usual manner by admixture of acids.

Abstract:
N-alkanoyl-polyhydroxyalkylamines having the formula (I), in which Z stands for the polyhydroxyalkyl residue of a mono- or oligo saccharide; R1 stands for hydrogen or C¿1?-C8-alkyl and R?2¿ stands for C¿1?-C21-alkyl are prepared by reaction of polyhydroxyalkylamines having the formula (II): Z-NH-R?1¿, with carboxylic acid alkyl esters having the formula (III), in which R3 stands for a C¿1?-C4-alkyl residue, in the presence of a basic catalyst. For that purpose, (a) the total amount of the ester (III) is taken, is heated up to the reaction temperature and the amine (II) is precisely added thereto as a molten mass while the reaction is in progress, the resulting alcohol represented by the formula R?3¿-OH being continuously distilled away; (b) the reaction is carried out at a temperature from 55 to 110 °C; and (c) the reaction is carried out in the absence of organic solvents.
Abstract:
1-(2'-hydroxy- and 2'-sulphatoalkyl)glycosides have the formula (I), in which X stands for a hydroxyl or sulphate group having the formula OSO3M, in which M stands for hydrogen, an alkali metal or ammonium cation that may be substituted by organic rests; R stands for a C6 to C30 alkyl or alkylene rest; and Gly stands for the rest of a monosaccharide acetalised in position 1 by the above grouping. The glycosides (I) are useful as surfactants or emulsifiers in washing, cleaning or body care products.

N-alkanoyl-polyhydroxyalkylamines having the formula (I), in which Z stands for the polyhydroxyalkyl residue of a mono- or oligo saccharide; R stands for hydrogen or C1-C8-alkyl and R stands for C1-C21-alkyl are prepared by reaction of polyhydroxyalkylamines having the formula (II): Z-NH-R , with carboxylic acid alkyl esters having the formula (III), in which R stands for a C1-C4-alkyl residue, in the presence of a basic catalyst. For that purpose, (a) the total amount of the ester (III) is taken, is heated up to the reaction temperature and the amine (II) is precisely added thereto as a molten mass while the reaction is in progress, the resulting alcohol represented by the formula R -OH being continuously distilled away; (b) the reaction is carried out at a temperature from 55 to 110 DEG C; and (c) the reaction is carried out in the absence of organic solvents.
