摘要

Provided are alkoxylates of the formula I: wherein AO, EO, m, n, R, R1 and R2 are as defined below. Also provided are processes making alkoxylates of formula I. The processes provide alkoxylates that exhibit narrow molecular weight distribution and low amounts of residual unreacted alcohol. The alkoxylates have utility in a variety of applications, such as use as surfactants.
