<p>Tertiary amine oxides which comprise an amine oxide nucleus substituted with an organic group and with two hydroxy groups which have carbon atoms in at least the (Alpha) < (Beta) and (Alpha) positions, a hydroxyl group on the (Beta)-carbon atom, and have an effective chain length of at least 4 carbon atoms, said amine oxide being capable of being provided in ostensibly anhydrous form and being capable of being made at a concentration by weight of at least about 80% by oxidizing the corresponding tertiary amine with an oxidizing agent without solvent and without gelling during said oxidation. </p> |
