WO 90/13545 1 PC~/EP90/00629 A process for the production of 2-alkyl or alkenyl-2-oxazolines from fatty acid glycerides This invention relates to a process for the production of 2-alkyl or alkenyl 2-oxazolines corresponding to general formula I
1'`3 '---I

R1~ ~ 0 J (I) in which Rl is an optionally hydroxy-substituted hydrocarbon radical containing at least 7 and, more particularly, 7 to 21 carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon chain, by condensation of fatty acid ethanolamides or fatty acid glycerides and 2-aminoethanol as precursors thereof in the liquid phase in the presence of catalysts.
2-Alkyl-substituted 2-oxazolines are valuable products which are used inter alia as solvents or plasticizers and, in particular, as polymerization components. Numerous processes have been described for the preparation of compounds of this class.
The most simple method is based on the cyclodehydra-tion of N-2-hydroxyethyl carboxylic acid amides (Chem. Rev.
44, 447 et ~g (1949), Chem. Rev. 71, 485 et ~g (1971)).
However, cyclization of the unsubstituted N-2-hydroxyethyl carboxylic acid amides requires very drastic conditions or the presence of special cataly~ts. Whereas gas-phase reac-tions in the presence of dehydrating metal oxides, such as Al203, SiOJAl2O3, Al2O3/TiO2, Tio2 or MgO, have proved to be s~itable for the preparation of readily volatile, short-c:hain 2-alkyl-2-oxazolines, the more volatile, relatively ; 30 long-chain 2-alkyl-2-oxazolines are better prepared in the liguid phase, Compounds of manganese, cobalt, molybdenum, X~5~37~
W0 90/13545 2 PC~/EP90/00629 tungsten, iron, cadmium, zinc and tin and also compounds of the rare earth metals have been described as catalysts for the liquid-phase reaction (cf. US-PS 3,562,263, BE-PS 666 829, C.A. 87, 135353, C.A. 87, 135352, US-PS 3,681,329, US-PS 3,681,333, EP-OS 0 033 752, US-PS 4,543,414, US~PS
4,354,029, US-PS 4,443,611, EP-OS 0 105 944 and EP-05 0 164 219)~ However, the catalysts described in the publications cited above do not lead to good yields in the production of relatively long-chain 2-fatty alkyl-2-oxazolines.
It has now been found that special titanium and zirconium compounds are eminently suitable as catalysts for a process of the type mentioned at the beginning, enabling yields of up to about 85~ of the theoretical, based on the starting compound, to be obtained.
Accordingly, the present invention relates to a process of the type mentioned at the beginning in which glycerides, more particularly triglycerides, of optionally hydroxy-substituted fatty acids containing at least 8 and, more particularly, B to 22 carbon atoms are condensed with 2-aminoethanol in the presence of titanium or zirconium compounds corresponding to general formula II

M(OR2) 4 (II) in which M represents tetravalent titanium or zirconium and R2 is an alkyl group containing at least 2 and more par-ticularly 2 to 4 carbon atoms, an acyl group containing at least 2 and more particularly 2 to 10 carbon atoms or a 2-aminoethyleneoxy group or the residue of a B-diketone corresponding to general formula III

W0 90/135~5 3 PC~/EPgO/006~9 R3 and R4 may be the same or different and represent radicals from the group consisting of alkyl yroups contain-ing 1 to 4 carbon atoms and phenyl optionally substituted in the p-position, two of the groups R2 together being formed by the two~bond radical of a dihydric alcohol containing 2 to 4 carbon atoms in the presence of titanyl acetyl acetonate or in the presence of condensation products of titanium(IV) or zirconium(IV) tetraalkoxylates corresponding to general formula II, in which M and R2 are as defined above, with polyfunctional alkanols, more particularly containing 3 to 12 carbon atoms and 2 to 6 hydroxyl groups, and the 2-alkyl or 2-alkenyloxazolines thus obtained are isolated with removal of water and glycerol formed.
The process according to the invention may be applied inter alia to any fatty acid glycerides derived from straight-chain or branched, saturated or unsaturated fatty acids containing at least 8 carbon atoms, more particularly 8 to 22 carbon atoms, including hydroxy-substituted deriva-tives thereof. Preferred starting compounds for the process according to the invention are fatty acid glycer-ides, more particularly triglycerides, of vegetable, animal or sea-animal origin, including technical mixtures thereof and derivatives hardened by catalytic hydrogenation.
Typical representatives of the fatty acids occurring in the glycerides mentioned above are caprylic, capric, myristic, palmitic, stearic, 12-hydroxystearic, arachic, behenic, lignoceric, lauroleic, myristoleic, palmitoleic, oleic, gadoleic, erucic, ricinoleic, linoleic, linolenic and arachidonic acid. As usual in oleoc~emistry, the fatSy acid glycerides are not generally used as such, but in the form of technical mixtures of the type obtainable from natural raw materials, for example ~rom lauric oils, coconut oil, palm oil, palm kexnel oil, soybean oil, peanut ~3~37~i oil, rapeseed oil, olive oil, linseed oil, sunflower oil, castor oil, beef tallow, lard and fish oil.
The titanium or zirconium compounds suitable for use as catalysts in the process according to the invention are known and, for the most part, are commercially available.
Condensation products of titanium(IV) or zirconium(IV) tetraalkoxylates with polyfunctional alkanols containing 3 to 12 carbon atoms and 2 to 6 hydroxyl groups, such as glycerol, trimethylol propane and pentaerythritol, are esterification and/or transesterification catalysts, which are described for example in US-C 4,705,764, to which reference is hereby made. Another suitable polyalkanol is polyvinyl alcohol. The titanium or zirconium tetra-(2-aminoethoxylates) also suitable as catalysts may be prepar-ed from titanium or zirconium tetraalkoxylates and 2-amino-ethanol.
In one preferred embodiment of the invention, esters of titanic acid (H4Tio4) or zirconic acid (H4ZrO4) or mixed anhydrides of titanic or zirconic acid with organic acids corresponding to general formula II, in which M = Ti or zr and R2 is an alkyl group containing at least 2 or more than 2 carbon atoms and more particularly 2 to 4 carbon atoms or an acyl group containing 2 or more than 2 carbon atoms, more particularly 2 to 10 carbon atoms, derived from a monocarboxylic acid, are used as catalysts.
In another advantageous embodiment of the invention, catalysts from the group consisting of titanium or zir-conium tetraethylate, tetrapropylate, tetraisopropylate, tetrabutylate and tetraacetate are used.
In another advantageous embodiment of the invention, titanium or zirconium acetyl acetonates corresponding to general formula (IV) (R50) mM (ACA) n ( IV) .

WO 90/1354S 5 PCT/~P~o/00629 in which R5 is an alkyl group containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, ACA is an acetyl acetonate group and m is the number 0 and n is the number ~ or m is the number 2 and n is the number 2, are used as catalysts.
In another advantageous embodiment of the invention, polycondensation products of esters of titanic acid with monoalkanols containing 2 to 10 carbon atoms with penta-erythritol are used as catalysts.
In another advantageous embodiment of the invention, the catalysts to be used in accsrdance with the invention are used in a quantity of 0.1 to 10 mol-% and preferably in a quantity of 1 to 5 mol-%, based on the fatty acid resi-dues present.
According to the invention, the condensation reaction is carried out at 150 to 270C, preferably in vacuo and in an inert gas atmosphere. The water of reaction formed may be distilled off together with the 2-alkyl or alkenyl-substituted 2-oxazolines and separated therefrom during the distillation, entrained residual water being removed with typical drying agents, such as anhydrous sodium sulfate or molecular sieve (4A), particularly in the case of relative-ly short-chain 2-alkyl or alkenyl-2-oxazolines. However, the water of reaction may also be removed from the reaction mixture before the actual distillation of the 2-oxazolines by azeotropic distillation with high boiling entraining agents, such as for example tetralin or cumene.
In another preferred embodiment of the invention, the 2-alkyl or alkenyl-substituted 2-oxazolines may be directly prepared from fatty acid glycerides by reaction thereof at elevated temperature and at atmospheric pressure in the presence of ethanolamine to form the fatty acid ethanol-amides, removing water and glycerol formed and any un-reacted or excess ethanolamine substantially completely by distillation in vacuo and leaving the reaction mixture to 3~37~

react ln vacuo in a second step in which the reaction temperature is further increased. The glycerides react in the presence of ethanolamine and the claimed catalysts in a first step to form fatty acid ethanolamides which react in the second step to form the 2-oxazolines. The ethanol-amine is preferably usPd in a 50 to 400 mol-% excess, based on the starting material. A reaction temperature below 185C is preferably applied in the first step, a reaction temperature of 185 to 270C preferably being applied in the second step. The catalysts are preferably used in a quan-tity of 0.1 to 10 mol-% and preferably in a quantity of 1 to 5 mol-%, based on the fatty acid residues present.
Titanium tetraalcoholates, more particularly selected from the group consisting of titanium tetraethylate, propylate, isopropylate and butylate, are again preferably used.
Alternatively, mixed anhydrides of titanic acid with monocarboxylic acids, particularly those containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, preferably titanium tetraacetate, are used.
Other preferred catalysts are titanium or zirconium acetyl acetonates corresponding to general formula IV, the above-mentioned polycondensation products of esters of titanic acid with monoalkanols containing 2 to 10 carbon atoms with pentaerythritol and also titanium(IV) or Zr(IVJ tetraamino-ethanolates.
In this variant of the process, the second reaction step is preferably carried out in vacuo and the water of reaction formed is distilled off together with the 2-alkyl or alkenyl-substituted 2-oxazolines with further separation during distillation. However, the water of reaction may also be removed by azeotropic distillation before distilla-tion of the 2-alkyl or alkenyl-2-oxazolines.
It is of particular advantage in this regard to carry out the first and the second stages of the reaction as a one-pot reaction in one and the same reactor.
The invention is illustrated by the following Ex-amples.
