Abstract
This invention provides novel quaternary ammonium ethers of polygalactomannan having a degree of substitution between about 0.01 and 3.0, and further provides a process for producing quaternary ammonium ethers of polygalactomannan gums by contacting solid polygalactomannan gum with a haloalkyl-substituted quaternary ammonium compound under alkaline conditions in an aqueous solution of water-miscible solvent.
Claims3
4-(Trimethylammonium chloride)-2-butenyl ethers of guar gum having a degree of substitution between about 0.01 and 3.0.
4-(Trimethylammonium chloride)-2-butenyl ethers of locust bean gum having a degree of substitution between about 0.01 and 3.0.
Quaternary ammonium ethers of polygalactomannan gum having a degree of substitution between about 0.01 and 3, wherein the quaternary ammonium ether substituents correspond to the formula:
- ##STR3## wherein R is an alkyl group containing between one and about six carbon atoms, R.sub.1 is an alkylene or alkenylene group containing between one and about six carbon atoms, and X is chlorine or bromine.
