1,210,509. Ester-type detergents. RAFFINERIE TIRLEMONTOISE. 30 Nov., 1967 [2 Dec., 1966; 17 Nov., 1967], No. 54574/67. Heading C2C. [Also in Divisions C3 and C5], Organic products are prepared by reacting simultaneously: (a) an organic compound having at least one labile hydrogen atom in a hydroxy, thiol, primary or secondary aliphatic or aromatic amine, amide, diamide or imine group; (b) an organic compound of acid character and/or a mineral salt or anhydride thereof; (c) an oxyalkylation substance. Examples prepare compounds from saccharose, oleic acid and propylene oxide; saccharose, potassium oleate and propylene oxide; saccharose, fatty acids from linseed oil and ethylene oxide; saccharose, fatty acids from tallow, isobutyric acid and propylene oxide; saccharose, benzoic acid, and ethylene oxide; saccharose, propionic acid, isobutyric acid and propylene oxide; glycerol, propylene glycol, fatty acid from copra and ethylene oxide; diethanolamine, fatty acid from coconut oil and ethylene oxide; saccharose, tall oil and propylene oxide; saccharose, palmitic acid and ethylene oxide; saccharose, oleic acid and propylene oxide; maltose, fatty acids from tallow and ethylene oxide; saccharose, fatty acids from tallow and propylene oxide; saccharose, palmitic acid, ethylene oxide and propylene oxide; saccharose liquor, palmitic acid, oleic acid and ethylene oxide; blackstrap molasses, fatty acids from tallow and propylene oxide; saccharose, mixture of fatty acids from tallow and propylene oxide; saccharose, mixture of fatty acids from tallow and ethyl oleate and propylene oxide; saccharose, fatty acids from coconut butter and ethylene oxide to which methyl laurate and further ethylene oxide may be added; saccharose, fatty acids from tallow and propylene oxide and ethylene oxide; saccharose, lauric acid and ethylene oxide and propylene oxide. The reaction may be carried out in the presence of a catalyst. These products have detergent, wetting, emulsive, solubilizing or anti-foaming properties (see Division C5) and may be used as starting materials for preparing alkyd resins or polyurethanes (see Division C3).
