| 摘要 |
The present invention is directed to alkoxylated alcohol alkyl ethers. In some embodiments, these ethers include a very short chain ether end cap, such as a methyl or ethyl group. In some embodiments, the long chain fatty alcohol used is unsaturated and/or branched. In some embodiments, a compound of the invention includes:;R1O—(PO)n—R2 (Formula Xa);wherein P is a branched alkyl group having 3 carbons; n is an integer ranging from 2 to 10; R1 is a branched or unsaturated hydrocarbon having 16 to 24 carbons which are substituted or unsubstituted; and wherein R2 is a methyl group. In some embodiments, n is 3 and R1 is an isostearyl group. |

1. A compound having Formula X:
R1O-A-R2 (Formula X) wherein:
i) A is one selected from the group consisting of:
a) (PO)n, where P is a branched alkyl group having 3 carbons and n is an integer ranging from 2 to 10;b) (EO)m, where E is an alkyl group having 2 carbons and m is an integer ranging from 2 to 6; andc) (PO)n-(EO)m, where P is a branched alkyl group having 3 carbons, E is an alkyl group having 2 carbons, n and m are integers, n≧1, m≧1, and n+m=2 to 25, and PO and EO can be in any order;ii) R2 is a methyl or ethyl group; andiii) when A is (PO)n and R2 is methyl, or when A is (PO)n-(EO)m, R1 is a branched or unsaturated hydrocarbon having 16 to 24 carbons which are substituted or unsubstituted; orwhen A is (PO)n and R2 is ethyl, or when A is (EO)m, R1 is a branched or unsaturated hydrocarbon having 14 to 24 carbons which are substituted or unsubstituted. |
