Abstract
Provided are modified natural compounds that are produced, at least in part, from (A) at least one epoxidized and/or maleated natural fatty acid, or epoxidized and/or maleated natural oil, and (B) at least one lactam having at least one hydroxyl functional group, wherein the lactam may be in a blend with one or more optional alcohol(s). Among other properties, the modified natural compounds may exhibit dispersibility or solubility characteristics in water and/or alcohols. The invention further provides a wide variety of compositions comprising the modified natural compounds.
Claims18
A modified natural compound produced from a reaction of:
- (A) at least one of an epoxidized natural fatty acid, a maleated natural fatty acid, an epoxidized natural oil, a maleated natural oil, or a combination thereof;
- and
- (B) at least one lactam comprising a hydroxyl functional group, wherein the hydroxyl-containing lactam has the structure:
- wherein:
- Y is an alkylene or alkenylene group comprising 2 to 50 carbon atoms, wherein 2 to 4 carbon atoms reside in the lactam ring between the
- group and the
- group;
- Q is selected from the group consisting of a functionalized and unfunctionalized alkylene of linear, branched, or cyclic structure, an arylene, and combinations thereof, wherein any of the before mentioned groups may be with or without oxygen atom(s);
- and
- R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, functionalized and unfunctionalized alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkenyl, and aryl groups, wherein any of the groups may be with or without heteroatoms, and
- wherein the lactam of the at least one lactam remains a lactam in the modified natural compound.
