Definitions
- Another object is to provide an improved procedure for obtaining sulphonated or sulphated low molecular weight alkyl esters of high molecular fatty acids with enhanced yield.
- a low molecular weight alkyl fatty ester is formed from a low molecular weight alkanol such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol or butanol and an unsaturated or hydroxy fatty acid, such as oleic, ricinoleic, erucic, and so forth, in the presence of a suitable catalyst such as an alkylated naphthalene sulphonic acid.
- a low molecular weight alkanol such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol or butanol
- an unsaturated or hydroxy fatty acid such as oleic, ricinoleic, erucic, and so forth

- the preferred temperature for the reaction is C. to 0., and the preferred time is from 4 to 6 hours, and generally when the reaction is carried on under these conditions there is a yield of ester amounting to 90% to 95%.
- esters of somewhat lighter color may be produced.
- the amount of catalyst usually found desirable for. optimum results may range from 5% to 10% of the amount of the reaction mixture and when the reaction is completed the catalyst together with the water produced in the reaction may bepermitted to settle out and drawn ofi if desired.
- any alkylated aromatic sulphonic acid may be employed, which is not darkening, among which acids may be alkyls ated or unalkylated aromatic sulphonic acids, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, amyl or other alkylated benzene, toluene or naphthalene sul phonic acids.
- This first step appears to result in formation of low molecular weight alkyl esters of high molecular weight unsaturated or hydroxy fatty acids.
- the ester which has been prepared in the first step above stated is cooled to a temperature of about to C., and a molal weight of a complex alcohol or ester having ether, ketone, or amino groups in the molecule is added per mol of fatty acid.
- complex alcohols or esters ma be allphatic, aromatic, or mixed types and among the complex alcohols or esters which have been found to be particularly suitable are the following groups and classifications:
- (l) Esters containing an ether grouping such as dietlvyleneglycol monobutyl ether acetate.

- Alcohols containing amino groups such as monoethanolamine.
- Ethylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (methyl "Cellosolve” acetate)
- Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate (“Cellosolve acetate)
- Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate (butyl Among the preferred amino alcohols which may be used are:
- the amount of sulphating agent should be at least of the total weight of the reaction mixture and may be as high as 300%.
- the resulting product is washed, preferably with a 10% to 20% solution of common salt, and then neutralized with caustic soda or any other suitable alkali,
- the final products are clear, oily liquid of either an amber or a reddish color and give clear solutions in water, which have remarkable foaming properties, even at highly attenuated dilutions.

-' 15 Claims. (c1. zoo-+400)" a strong sulphating or sulphonating agent.
For example, where butyl oleate or butyl ricinoleate are first prepared and then treated with sulphuric acid, most desirable results are not obtained.
This is also true in cases where mixtures of butyl alcohol and oleic acid are sulphonated or where butyl alcohol is first combined with sulphuric acid following which the butyl acid sulphate resets with the fatty acid.
Furthermore, many disadvantages have been observed in processes where the fatty acid glycerides are sulphonated in the presence of a low molecular weight aliphatic alcohol, as for example, where castor oil is sulphated or sulphonated in the presence. of isopropyl alcohol as a solvent.
It is among the objects of the present invention to prepare improved sulphated or sulphonated fatty esters with greater yield and with a smaller production of undesirable by-products, which may be more readily and effectively used as penetrating, emulsifying, and washing agents, and generally as surfac active agents particularly in the textile fields.
Another object is to provide an improved procedure for obtaining sulphonated or sulphated low molecular weight alkyl esters of high molecular fatty acids with enhanced yield.
Still further objects and advantages will appear from the more detailed description set forth below, it being understood, however, that this more detailed description is given by way of illustration, sinc various changes therein may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.
In accomplishing the above objects it has been found most satisfactory to form the fatty esters by a series of steps, preferably two in number, which are most economically and satisfactorily carried out in succession.
According to the first step a low molecular weight alkyl fatty ester is formed from a low molecular weight alkanol such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol or butanol and an unsaturated or hydroxy fatty acid, such as oleic, ricinoleic, erucic, and so forth, in the presence of a suitable catalyst such as an alkylated naphthalene sulphonic acid.
This reaction may be carried out at a temperature of 80 to 100 (1., withv refluxing, if necessary, *nd preferably with constant stirrin or agitation for a period of 2 to 8 hours.
The preferred temperature for the reaction is C. to 0., and the preferred time is from 4 to 6 hours, and generally when the reaction is carried on under these conditions there is a yield of ester amounting to 90% to 95%.
By the use of lowertemperatures and shorter reaction periods esters of somewhat lighter color may be produced.
In all cases, however, it has been found most desirable to use molal proportions of alcohols and fatty acids, except in those cases wher the alcohol is highly volatile. In such cases about 10% in excess over molal proportions may be used to cover possible losses.
The amount of catalyst usually found desirable for. optimum results may range from 5% to 10% of the amount of the reaction mixture and when the reaction is completed the catalyst together with the water produced in the reaction may bepermitted to settle out and drawn ofi if desired. t
In this first step it is possible to use as the fatty acids:
Oleic Linoleic Linolenic Eleostearlc Erucic Ricinoleic or the mixed fatty acids derived from the following oils:
Soy bean oil Corn oil Olive oil Tea seed oil Sperm oil Fish oils Rice bran oil Grapefruit seed oil Sunflower seed oil As the low molecular weight alcohols there may be employed the following alcohols:
or instead of these low molecular weight alcohols it is also possible to use their esters such as Formates Acetates Propionates Butyrates Lactates Citrates Succinates As the catalyst, generally any alkylated aromatic sulphonic acid may be employed, which is not darkening, among which acids may be alkyls ated or unalkylated aromatic sulphonic acids, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, amyl or other alkylated benzene, toluene or naphthalene sul phonic acids.
Among the preferred compounds which may be employed are:
Mono butyl alpha naphthalene snlphonic acid Beta naphthalene sulphonic acid Para toluene sulphonic acid Sulphuric acid itself is generally not utilized because of its darkening effect.
This first step appears to result in formation of low molecular weight alkyl esters of high molecular weight unsaturated or hydroxy fatty acids.
In the second step the ester which has been prepared in the first step above stated is cooled to a temperature of about to C., and a molal weight of a complex alcohol or ester having ether, ketone, or amino groups in the molecule is added per mol of fatty acid.
These complex alcohols or esters ma be allphatic, aromatic, or mixed types and among the complex alcohols or esters which have been found to be particularly suitable are the following groups and classifications:
(l) Esters containing an ether grouping, such as dietlvyleneglycol monobutyl ether acetate.
(2) Alcohols containing an ether grouping, such as the monobutyl ether of diethyleneglycol.
(3) Alcohols or esters containing a ketone group,
such as diacetone alcohol.
(4) Alcohols containing amino groups such as monoethanolamine.
As preferred alcohols and esters which may be used:
Ethylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (methyl "Cellosolve" acetate) Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate ("Cellosolve acetate) -Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate (butyl Among the preferred amino alcohols which may be used are:
' Monoethanolamine Diethanolamine Trietltanolamine Phenylethanolamine Hydroxyethyl ethylenediamine Diethylaminoethanol 2 amino-2 methyl- 1 propanol Di n-butyl aminoethanol Trimethylol aminomethane ether (methyl The above mixture is, then treated with a sulphating agent, preferably commercial 66 B. sulphuric acid at a temperature of 20 to 25 C. for
l to 3 hours. The amount of sulphating agent should be at least of the total weight of the reaction mixture and may be as high as 300%.
During this second step or reaction it appears that the larger or more complex radical replaces the smaller and simpler radical at least in part; that is, if methyl oleate, produced by the first reaction is treated with the monobutyl ether of diethylene glycol acetate, the radical "butyl ether diethylene glycol" appears to replace in part the methyl group in its combination with oleic acid.
After completion of the second reaction step, the resulting product is washed, preferably with a 10% to 20% solution of common salt, and then neutralized with caustic soda or any other suitable alkali,
In most cases a partial neutralization to a pH of between 5 and 7 is preferable.
The final products are clear, oily liquid of either an amber or a reddish color and give clear solutions in water, which have remarkable foaming properties, even at highly attenuated dilutions.
On the Standard canvas disc method for measuring efficiency of penetration, these products give considerabl better results than sulphated esters produced by the other methods previously described.
