Abstract
Wax compositions derived from metathesized natural oils and amines and methods of making wax compositions from metathesized natural oils and amines are provided. The wax compositions comprise amidated metathesized natural oils formed from a metathesized natural oil and at least one amine. The methods comprise providing an amine and providing a metathesized natural oil. The methods further comprise mixing the amine and the metathesized natural oil in the presence of a basic catalyst or heat, causing a reaction between the amine and metathesized natural oil, therein forming the amidated metathesized natural oil.
Claims20
A wax composition comprising:
- an amidated metathesized natural oil formed from a metathesized natural oil and at least one amine, wherein the amidated metathesized natural oil comprises molecules having the following structures:
- wherein R1 is
- wherein R2, R3, R4, and R5, are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alcohols, alkyls, aryls, alkyl-amines, aryl-amines, ether amines, amino acids and esters, thiol amines, ureas, and thioureas,
- wherein R10 and R11 are independently selected from the group consisting of:
- hydrogen and
- wherein X1, X2, X3, and X6 are independently selected from the group consisting of C4-C28 saturated or unsaturated alkyl chains from either a fatty acid of a natural oil, or a derivative thereof formed by a metathesis reaction.
A method of making an amidated metathesized natural oil comprising:
- providing an amine;
- providing a metathesized natural oil;
- mixing the amine and the metathesized natural oil in the presence of a basic catalyst or heat, causing a reaction between the amine and metathesized natural oil, therein forming the amidated metathesized natural oil.
