Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To produce the subject compound in a high purity and in a short reaction time without using a large excess of an alkanol amine by adding the alkanol amine to a fatty acid for performing a reaction. SOLUTION: This method for producing a fatty acid amide ether comprises adding an alkanol amine e.g.; a compound of formula I [X is H or an alkyl; Z is H or a (OH substituted)alkyl], concretely monoethanolamine, etc.}, into a fatty acid (a 6-22C fatty acid such as hexanoic acid or a fatty acid derived from an animal oil such as a tallow, or a plant oil such as a coconut oil, etc.), for performing a reaction to produce a fatty acid alkanolamide, then adding an alkylene oxide (ethylene oxide, propylene oxide or their mixture) to obtain an objective compound (e.g.; a compound of formula II [R is an alkyl or an alkenyl; A is an alkylene; (n) is 0-30; X is H or an alkyl; W is H, an alkyl or the like]}.

2. Description of the Related Art Fatty acid amide ethers are widely used as a base agent and an auxiliary agent of detergents because of their good foaming power, excellent solubility, and high detergency. Conventionally, fatty acid amide ethers have been produced by reacting a fatty acid methyl ester with an alkanolamine under an alkaline catalyst to produce a fatty acid alkanolamide, and further adding an alkylene oxide. In this method, high-purity fatty acid alkanolamide is obtained in a short reaction time, and fatty acid amide ether derived therefrom is also obtained with high purity. However, fatty acid methyl esters are more expensive than fatty acids, are economically disadvantageous, and produce an equimolar amount of methanol as a by-product of the amidation reaction, which imposes a burden on post-treatment and the like.

On the other hand, as a method for obtaining a fatty acid alkanolamide which is an intermediate for producing a fatty acid amide ether, a method is known in which inexpensive fatty acids and alkanolamines are collectively charged into a reaction system and reacted. However, this method has a low raw material cost, but it is difficult to remove water generated by the reaction, so the reaction does not proceed efficiently, unreacted fatty acids and alkanolamines remain, and fatty acid amide esters, ester amines, etc. Many reaction by-products also exist. These various impurities adversely affect the addition of the alkylene oxide to the obtained fatty acid alkanolamide, which not only produces a large amount of by-products such as polyethylene glycol, but also has an adverse effect on odor, solubility, detergency, and the like. There is a problem. There is also a method in which the reaction is carried out at a high reaction temperature.
Although the reaction water can be efficiently removed, unreacted alkanolamine is distilled off at the same time as the water, and the reaction does not proceed sufficiently due to a shortage of alkanolamine in the reaction system.

The reaction molar ratio of the fatty acid to the alkanolamine is preferably in the range of alkanolamine / fatty acid = 0.9 to 1.2 because the amidation reaction is efficient and the yield is high. The pressure during the reaction between the fatty acid and the alkanolamine is normal pressure, which suppresses the distillation of the alkanolamine, improves the yield and production efficiency, increases the purity of the obtained fatty acid alkanolamide, and increases the fatty acid amide derived therefrom. It is preferable to increase the purity of the ether.

[0015] The reaction temperature is preferably from 150 to 250 ° C, more preferably from 160 to 200 ° C, in order to increase the reaction rate and suppress the coloring of the reaction product. In the conventional production method, since the entire amount of alkanolamine is charged all at once, the reaction temperature exceeding 160 ° C. is higher than the boiling point of alkanolamine. It has been considered undesirable because fatty acids remain in large quantities. However, in the present invention, by adding alkanolamine to the fatty acid at a high reaction temperature, it is possible to suppress the amount of alkanolamine distilled out without participating in the reaction, that is, it is possible to reduce the amount of alkanolamine used. ,Also,
Since the reaction can be performed at a high temperature, the reaction water can be efficiently removed, and the reaction can be favorably advanced.

Although a high-purity fatty acid alkanolamide can be obtained by the above method, when it is necessary to reduce impurities contained in a very small amount in order to further increase the purity, a treatment by adding a metal alcoholate may be further performed. it can. In this case, since the added metal alcoholate has both the catalytic action of the addition reaction of the alkylene oxide in the next step and the effect of converting the by-product to alkanolamide, the purity of the fatty acid amide ether can be increased. It is also economical.
