Abstract
This invention relates to a wax composition comprising a plurality of fatty acid amide compounds having the Formula (I): where R1, R2, n1, n2, m1, and m2 are as described herein. This invention also relates to a wax composition comprising: a) one or more fatty acid amide compounds having the Formula (II): and b) one or more fatty acid amide compounds having the Formula (III): where R1, R2, n1, and n2 are as described herein. This invention also relates to a fatty acid amide compound having the Formula (I) and a process for preparing a compound of Formula (I).
Claims5
A process for preparing a compound of Formula (I):
- said process comprising:
- providing one or more monoamide compounds having the Formula (IV):
- providing one or more acids having the Formula (Va) or Formula (Vb):
- wherein
- R1 is a substituted or unsubstituted C3 to C50 alkyl;
- R2 is substituted or unsubstituted C3 to C50 alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted arylalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted arylalkenyl, or substituted or unsubstituted aryl;
- R2 is substituted or unsubstituted C3 to C50 alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted arylalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted arylalkenyl, or substituted or unsubstituted aryl;
- n1 is an integer from 0 to 10;
- n2 is an integer from 1 to 20;
- m1 is 0 or 1;
- and
- m2 is 0 or 1,
- wherein m1+m2 cannot be 0 or 2;
- and
- reacting the one or more monoamide compounds having the Formula (IV) with the one or more acids having Formula (Va) or Formula (Vb) under conditions effective to make the compound of Formula (I),
- wherein said providing one or more monoamide compounds having the Formula (IV) comprises:
- providing one or more saturated free fatty acids having the Formula (VI):
- wherein R1 is a substituted or unsubstituted C3 to C50 alkyl;
- providing a diamine compound having the Formula (VII):
- (VII), wherein n1 is an integer from 0 to 10;
- and
- reacting the diamine compound having the Formula (VII) with the one or more saturated free fatty acids having the Formula (VI) to form the one or more monoamide compounds of Formula (IV).
