ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
N,N-Dialkylaminoalkyl-ethylenediamines of the formula 1 R1-CH2CH2-NH-(CH2)m-NH-(CH2)2-NH-(CH2)n-NH-CH2CH2-R2 (1) wherein Rl and R2 are identical or different and are alkyl, 2-hydroxyalkyl or alkenyl with from 6 to 28 carbon atoms each or C6-C22-alkoxy-propyl and m and n are 2 or 3 and process for their manufacture.

Description

~15~60 Subject of the invention are N,N-dialkylaminoalkyl-ethylenediamines of the formula 1 Rl-cH2cH2-NH-(cH2)m-NH-(cH2)2-Nll-(cH2)n NH C 2 2 2 (1) wherein Rl and R2 are identical or different and are alkyl, 2-hydroxyalkyl or alkenyl with from 6 to 28 carbon atoms each or C6-C22-alkoxy-propyl and m and n are 2 or 3.
Compounds of the formula 1, wherein Rl and R2 are identical and are alkyl, 2-hydroxyalkyl or alkenyl with from 8 to 18 carbon atoms each and m=n=3 are preferred.
Moreover, subject of the present invention is a process for the manufacture of compounds of the formula 1, which comprises reacting fatty alkyl-alkylenediamines of the formula 2 Rl-NH-(CH2)m NH2 or R2-NH-(CH2)n-NH2 (2) with glyoxal to give bisaldimines of the formula 3 Rl-NH-~cH2)m(n)-N=cH-cH=N-(cH2)n(m) 2 and subsequently catalytically hydrogenating the Schiff bases obtained.
As alkylalkylene diamines of the formula 2 there can be used, for example, coconut alkyl-propylenediamines, stearyl-propylenediamines or tallow propylenediamines. According to the invention there can also be used the corresponding ethylenediamines such as N-dodecyl-ethylenediamines or N-cetyl-ethylenediamine or even ether alkylenediamines such as lauryloxypropyl-propylenediamine.
In a preferred embodiment according to the invention in the formula 1 Rl and R2 are identical and m=n=3. Starting products preferably suitable and accessible in in-

1~5~60
- 3 ~ 7~/F 254 dustrial amo~nts ~re to this end for example fat,y allcyl-propylenediamilles Oll the basis of natural fats and oils such as tallow or coconut oil. Within khe scope of the present invention, diamines with chain distributions whlch are not accessible industrially or compounds with unif`orm chain can of course be used, too. These substances are prepared in knowrl manner for example by addition of 1 mol of acrylonitrile on primary fatty amines and subsequent catalytic hydrogenakion of the propionitriles. The corres-ponding alkoxypropyl-propylenediamirles are obtained by ad dition of acrylonitrils on fatty alcohols, catalytic hydrogenation of the propionitriles, addition of one more molecule of acrylonitrile on the resulting alkoxypropylami-nes and by another catalytic hydrogenation. The all~yl-ethylenediamilles can be prepared for example by reactionof one mol of alkyl halide with ethylenediamine.
The condensatioll of the diamines of the formula 2 with glyoxal is performed at temperatures below 50C preferably at roo~ temperature by adding a commercially available 40 % glyoxal solution to a solution of the cliamine in a solvent which is indifferent in the reaction preferably an alcohol such as methanol, isopropanol or isobutanol. The Molar ratio of amine to glyoxal is between 2:1 and 2:1.2.
The bisaldimine is formed instantaneously. Especially when using methanol as solvent, the products are difficultly so-luble and deposit in liquid paste-like or solid form. They carl easily be separated by phase separation or filtration and isolated as pure substances after drying.
The suspensions or emulsions of the bisaldimines of 3Q formula 3 which are formed during the condensation are pre-ferably subjected directly to the catalytic hydrogenat-.oll.
According to the invention 2 mols of different N-alkyl-pro-pylenediamirles~ N-alkyl-ethylenediamines or N-alkoxypropyl-propylenediami-les or their mixtures can of course also be reacted with glyoxal. With this method statitistical mix tures of dlfferent Schiff bases are obtained.
The catalytic hydrGgenation is expediently carried out ~ 155~60 at temperatures below 100C, preferably at 40 to 80C. Suitable catalysts are noble metals, such as platinum, palladium or rhodium. Because of economical reasons, however, metal catalysts, such as nickel or cobalt, will be preferably used. Raney nickel is especially suitable. The hydrogen pressures are, accord-ing to the invention, from 50 to 150 bar, especially from 80 to 120 bar.
The isolation of the pure products of the formula 1 according to the invention is performed by separating them by filtration from the hydrogenation catalyst and evaporating the solvent. The resulting compounds of the formula 1 are obtained in a purity of 80 to 90% according to the analysis of the amine nitrogen and can be directly used in this form for most applications. Absolutely pure compounds can be obtained by recrystallization.
The N,N'-dialkylalk~ylene-ethylenediamines of the formula 1 are suitable as starting products for the manufacture of a number of new surface active com-pounds.
