NEW ROUTE TO LONG CHAIN AMINES Novel isomeric amine mixtures are described, characterized by amines with N-alkyl groups in the C10-C18 range with a main branch at the 2-position and moderate additional branching in most isomers. The amines are produced from lower olefins by a series of oxo, aldol and reductive amination reactions. The amines and their oxide and quaternary ammonium salt derivatives are of interest in surfactant uses. |
