Abstract

Esters of dibasic aliphatic acids which contain at least 6 carbon atoms in a chain are produced by condensing an aliphatic alcohol at a temperature of at least 190 DEG C. with a diamide having the general formula H2N-OC-(CH2)n-CO-NH2, n being not less than 4, and simultaneously removing the liberated ammonia. Suitable diamides for use are adipamide and sebacamide which may be prepared as described in U.S.A. Specification 2,109,941 by heating 1 mol. of urea with 1 mol. of adipic or sebacic acid at about 160-180 DEG C. for 4-6 hours, other dibasic acids such as pimelic acid may also be used. When 1 mol of the diamide is condensed with 1 mol. of each of two different alcohols having the general formula R-OH and R1-OH, mixed esters of the type ROOC-(CH2)n-COOR1, R and R1 being alkyl groups and n not less than 4, can be obtained. The process is particularly useful for preparing long chain esters having the same or different alkyl groups containing at least 12 carbon atoms and reaction between the higher alcohols used and the diamides is readily effected by heating them together in an open flask until evolution of ammonia closes. When using the lower alcohols, the reaction must be effected in a closed vessel under pressure to obtain the desired reaction temperature and the liberated ammonia must be removed, e.g. by using an absorbent such as sodium bisulphate. When dihydric or polyhydric alcohols are used, the products are polyesters, e.g. with equimolecular quantities of ethylene glycol and adipamide, the product is a polymeric ethylene adipate having a structural unit of the formula (-OC-(CH2)4-CO-O-(CH2)2-O-). In examples: (1) cetyl adipate is obtained from adipamide and cetyl alcohol, heated together at 200-250 DEG C.; (2) and (3) lauryl adipate and n-octadecyl adipate are similarly obtained, using lauryl alcohol and n-octadecyl alcohol respectively; (4), (5) and (6) n-octadecyl sebacate, lauryl sebacate and cetyl sebacate are obtained from sebacamide and n-octadecyl alcohol, lauryl alcohol and cetyl alcohol respectively; (7) ethyl adipate is obtained by heating ethyl alcohol and adipamide under pressure at 200-250 DEG C.; (8) cetyl octadecyl adipate is obtained from adipamide and the corresponding alcohols; (9) sebacamide and ethylene glycol are reacted to produce a polymeric ethylene sebacate; (10) a resinous high molecular weight polyester is obtained from adipamide and glycerol. The Provisional Specification is not limited to the use of an aliphatic alcohol.
