PROCESS FOR PREPARING SECONDARY AMINOETHER ALCOHOLS

摘要

The present invention relates to a process for selectively preparing severely sterically hindered secondary aminoether alcohols by reacting a primary amino compound with a polyalkenyl ether glycol in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst at elevated temperatures and pressures. The severely sterically hindered secondary aminoether alcohols are useful in acid gas scrubbing processes, particularly in the selective removal of H2S from gaseous streams containing CO2 and H2S.
