Abstract
A method for synthesizing compounds of formula: ##STR1## in which R' and R" (I) are the same or different monovalent branched or unbranched alkyl groups of from 1 to 18 carbon atoms, optionally substituted by from 1 to 2 hydroxyl groups, the sum of the carbon atoms in R' and R" being at least three; or (II) form a 5, 6, or seven membered ring when taken together with N; or (III) form the N-Morpholino group when taken together with N and Oxygen, wherein Z represents either X or --N R'R", wherein X is a halogen of atomic weight above 30, and wherein n represents an integer of from 2 to 20.
Claims10
A compound or mixture of compounds formed by the reaction between R'R"NCH.sub.2 CHOHCH.sub.2 NR'R" and an approximately equimolar quantity of 1,3-dihalo-2-propanol at a temperature of between about 40.degree. C. and about 95.degree. C. for between about 2 to about 12 hours, R' and R" being either (I) the same or different monovalent, branched or unbranched alkyl groups of from 1 to 18 carbon atoms either unsubstituted or substituted by either 1 or 2 hydroxyl groups, the sum of the carbon atoms in R' and R" being at least 3, or (II) form a 5, 6 or 7 membered monoheterocyclic saturated ring when taken together with N, the hetero atom being nitrogen or (III) when taken together with nitrogen and oxygen form the N-morpholino group.
