    Abstract: Betaine-amine oxides of the formula in which R denotes alkyl, alkenyl or hydroxyalkyl, each of which has 8-22 carbon atoms, R1 denotes hydrogen or methyl, R2 denotes ethylene, propylene or 2-hydroxypropylene, R3, R4 and R5 can be identical or different and denote C1-C3-alkyl or a group of the formula or R3 denotes a group of the formula -R2-BR4R5, X denotes a direct bond or a group of the formula -CO-, A and B denote a group of the formulae it being necessary for at least one amine oxide group and at least one betaine group to be present, a denotes 0 or 1, b denotes 1, 2 or 3, n denotes a number from 0 to 10 and m denotes 1, 2 or 3. These compounds are obtained by partially quaternizing the parent polyamines with the alkali metal salt of an omega -halogenocarboxylic acid and then oxidizing the non-quaternized nitrogen atoms. These betaine-amine oxides are suitable for use as surfactants in cleansing agents.
