Definitions
- This invention relates to a plastic composition, the plasticizer component of which is a novel class of amides.

- amides of the type represented by the formula wherein -R is an alkyl group of chain length C to C the alkyl group being monounsaturated and/or epoxidized, i.e., containing only one olefinic group and/or at least one epoxy group.
- R may also be phenyl, cyclohexyl, a substituted phenyl such as C H COCR", where R" represents a saturated alkyl group of less than about 9 carbon atoms.
- diesteramides are efiicient primary solvent-type plasticizers exhibiting good compatibility with, and imparting long-term thermal stability, low volatility, and low brittle point to polymer and copolymer compositions of vinyl chloride.
- the diesteramides are also, quite unexpectedly, eflicient plasticizers for cellulose triacetate and in addition they possess utility as softeners for nitrile rubbers.
- vinyl chloride resins is used throughout this specification and the accompanying claims to refer to polymers and copolymers of monomers containing vinyl chloride in a predominant proportion in parts by weight.
- plasticizers for vinyl chloride resins are used throughout the specification to refer to plasticizers which show no signs of exudation or migration to the surface for at least 30 days when the plasticizer is present in the proportion of about 60 parts per 100 parts by weight of vinyl chloride resin.
- long chain fatty acid is used throughout this specification and the accompanying claims to refer to monocarboxylic aliphatic acids containing 12 or more carbon atoms.

- Compatible diesteramides can, however, be prepared from cottonseed oil acids which have been modified either by converting the polyunsaturated acyls in the mixture to monounsaturated acyls by selective hydrogenation, dimerization, halogenation, and epoxidation, or by converting the polyunsaturated acyls alone or both the polyunsaturated and the monounsaturated acyls to saturated epoxyacyls. Similar adjustments in composition can be made in the fatty acid mixtures obtainable from other natural sources, such as vegetable or animal oils and fats, tall oil, and the like, to prepare compatible diesteramides. These adjustments of the degree of unsaturation may be performed on the original oils, on the acids, on the esters, or on the diesteramides prepared from them. In general it is usually preferred to perform the epoxidation at the diesteramide stage.

3 Claims. (Cl. 260-31.6)
Ser. No. 263,370, which was a divi- 1961, now United This application is a division of filed Jan. 22, 1963 (now abandoned), sion of Ser. No. 147,377, filed Oct. 24, States Patent No. 3,179,615.
A non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free license in the invention herein described, throughout the world for all purposes of the United States Government, with the power to grant sublicenses for such purposes, is hereby granted to the Government of the United States of America.
This invention relates to a plastic composition, the plasticizer component of which is a novel class of amides. The amides which form the plasticizer component of the resinous composition which is subject of this invention have the ability to plasticize both the hydrophilic and the hydrophobic type of resins and in addition are characterized by their ability to confer softening characteristics on nitrile rubbers.
It is known to prepare amides of the type represented by the formula 0 O CHaCHrO-il R RC-N CHaCHr-O-(fiR' where R and R are the same substituent alkyl group (particularly a saturated alkyl group with chain length of from 2 to 9 carbon atoms). These amides have recognized utility as plasticizers for vinyl-chloride-type resins, but it is well known that whenever the length of the carbon chain in the substitutent alkyl groups exceeds 8 or 9 carbon atoms, i.e., when R==R'=C,,H and n exceeds 9, compatibility with the vinyl-chloride-type resins is lost. It is known that compounds of the formula are incompatible of R=R'=CH or'of R=R'= a long chain monounsaturated alkyl group such as C H We have found that compounds of this formula are-also incompatible if R==CH and R is a long chain saturated alkyl such as C H or if 'R'=CH and R is a long chain polyunsaturated alkyl such as C H We have made the surprising discovery, however, that compounds of this formula are compatible if R=CH and R is either a long chain monounsaturated alkyl group such as C H or a long chain saturated or monounsaturated alkyl group containing at least one epoxy group such as C H O or r'z si 3,340,218 Patented Sept. 5, 1967 ice It is the object of this invention to supply amides of the type represented by the formula wherein -R is an alkyl group of chain length C to C the alkyl group being monounsaturated and/or epoxidized, i.e., containing only one olefinic group and/or at least one epoxy group. R may also be phenyl, cyclohexyl, a substituted phenyl such as C H COCR", where R" represents a saturated alkyl group of less than about 9 carbon atoms.
It is also the object of this invention to supply mixtures of amides represented by this formula consisting predominantly of diesteramides in which R represents an alkyl group (or alkyl groups) of chain length C to C these alkyl groups being monounsaturated and/or monounsaturated containing at least one oxirane ring and/ or saturated containing at least one oxirane ring, and R' is a saturated alkyl group containing 3 or less carbon atoms.
These diesteramides are efiicient primary solvent-type plasticizers exhibiting good compatibility with, and imparting long-term thermal stability, low volatility, and low brittle point to polymer and copolymer compositions of vinyl chloride. The diesteramides are also, quite unexpectedly, eflicient plasticizers for cellulose triacetate and in addition they possess utility as softeners for nitrile rubbers. The term vinyl chloride resins is used throughout this specification and the accompanying claims to refer to polymers and copolymers of monomers containing vinyl chloride in a predominant proportion in parts by weight. The terms such as good compatibility, compatible, and compatible plasticizers in reference to plasticizers for vinyl chloride resins are used throughout the specification to refer to plasticizers which show no signs of exudation or migration to the surface for at least 30 days when the plasticizer is present in the proportion of about 60 parts per 100 parts by weight of vinyl chloride resin.
.The term long chain fatty acid is used throughout this specification and the accompanying claims to refer to monocarboxylic aliphatic acids containing 12 or more carbon atoms.
The compatible diesteramides are primary plasticizers and act as compatibilizers for incompatible diesteramides. For example, the binary compositions where is composed of oleoyl25% palmitoyl or epoxyoleoy1-15% palmitoyl and in which R is CH, are compatible, as are all proportions of these two binary mixtures. Ternary compositions can tolerate even larger proportions of palmitoyl than would be expected; e.g., the 30% palmitoyl-35% epoxyoleoyl35% oleyl mixture is fully compatible. Thus, mixtures of long chain fatty acids or esters can be used to prepare compatible diesteramides providing there is a predominance of monoolefinic, epoxy-saturated, or epoxymonoolefinic long chain fatty acids individually or in combination in the mixture. The fatty acids obtained from cottonseed oil consist roughly of 27% of saturated (mostly pahnitic) acid, 27% of monounsaturated (oleic) acid, and 46% of polyunsaturated (linoleic) acid. The diesteramides prepared from cottonseed oil acids are incompatible because of the large proportion of saturated and polyunsaturated alkyl groups in the mixture. Compatible diesteramides can, however, be prepared from cottonseed oil acids which have been modified either by converting the polyunsaturated acyls in the mixture to monounsaturated acyls by selective hydrogenation, dimerization, halogenation, and epoxidation, or by converting the polyunsaturated acyls alone or both the polyunsaturated and the monounsaturated acyls to saturated epoxyacyls. Similar adjustments in composition can be made in the fatty acid mixtures obtainable from other natural sources, such as vegetable or animal oils and fats, tall oil, and the like, to prepare compatible diesteramides. These adjustments of the degree of unsaturation may be performed on the original oils, on the acids, on the esters, or on the diesteramides prepared from them. In general it is usually preferred to perform the epoxidation at the diesteramide stage.
- The amides which are the subject of this invention we shall refer to as diesteramides and they can be prepared as We shall show presently in a variety of ways. These diesteramides, which carry two substituent alkyl groups; e.g., two methyl groups and one substituent alkyl group of chain length exceeding 11 carbon atoms which substituent group may be monounsaturated and/or epoxidized are, as noted above, unexpectedly compatible with vinylchloride type resins. When the long-chain alkyl substituent is monounsaturated, complete compatibility with vinyl type resins exists up through chain lengths of C Additionally, if the long chain alkyl substituent group is an epoxy containing saturated or monounsaturated group,
compatibility with vinyl chloride type resins extends through C chain lengths.
The diesteramides which are the subject of this invention can be prepared by the following sequential reactions. First, an alkanolamine such as diethanolamine is reacted with the alkyl ester; e.g., the methyl ester, of a long-chain fatty acid. This initial reaction is an ester-exchange type of reaction and is carried out in the presence of an alkoxide catalyst; e.g., sodium methoxide. If the alkanolamine used is diethanolamine, an N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl) amide of a fatty acid is formed. The product of this first reaction is subsequently reacted with the acid anhydride or the acid chloride of an acid such as acetic, propionic, benzoic, hexahydrobenzoic acid, or of the monoester of dibasic acids such as phthalic or succinic acids or of the diesters of tribasic acids such as phosphoric acid. Acetic or benzoic acid is the preferred acid to esterify the two hydroxyl groups present. The diesteramides prepared by the aforementioned sequence of reactions, we shall refer to as symmetrical diesteramides prepared by the directed method.
Other alkanolamines which may be used instead of diethanolamine are dialkanolamines such as di-isopropanolamine (1,l'-imino-di-2-propanol), 3,3-iminodipr0- panol, and the like.
It is possible, alternatively, to prepare diesteramides by reacting simultaneously all the components (the dialkanolamine and the two fatty acids of different chain lengths). The result of this alternative process wherein all of the'reaction components are present'at the same time in the reaction mixture produces what We shall refer to hereinafter as the mixed diesteramides produced by the undirected method. Since the reaction is a random one, the precise location of the various alkyl substituents is not known and cannot be predicted with certainty as it can with the directed reaction method. Mixed diesteramides could possibly contain all of the following disteramides:
where X represents the moiety Example I N-bz's(2-acetoxyethyl) oleamide Two hundred and ninety-six grams (1 mole) of methyl oleate was slowly added to a vigorously stirred mixture of 105 grams (1 mole) of diethanolamine and 3.6 grams (0.15 mole) of metallic sodium dissolved in absolute methanol. The reaction was carried out with continued stirring at 65 to 75 C. and at 60 millimeters pressure. It is necessary to add the methyl oleate slowly so as to control frothing of the reaction mixture. The reaction was complete after all the methyl oleate had been added and the evolution of methanol had ceased. The product of this reaction was N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)oleamide. To 124 grams (approximately 0.34 mole) of N-bis (2-hydroxyethyl)oleamide from the above reaction was slowly added with stirring grams (0.78 mole) of acetic anhydride. The reaction temperature was maintained at 70 to 75 C. during and for an additional 30 minutes subsequent to the addition of the acetic anhydride. The reaction product was taken up in commercial hexane, washed free of acetic acid with water, and stripped of hexane. Analysis of the I stripped product showed 3.09% nitrogen. The theoretical nitrogen content for N-bis (2-acetoxyethyl)oleamide is 3.09%. This material was tested as a plasticizer for vinyl chloride resin (see Sample No. 1A in Table I).
A separate fraction of the diesteramide prepared as above was distilled in a short-path still at 0.3 millimeter pressure and a small fraction boiling at 188 C. was rejected. The main distillation-cut, boiling at about 219 C., was tested as a plasticizer for vinyl chloride resin (see Sample No. 1B in TableI).

Example 5.N-bis(2-acetoxyethyl)amide of selectively hydrogenated cottonseed oil fatty acids This material was prepared by the method of Example 1 using the methyl esters of selectively hydrogenated cottonseed oil fatty acids instead of methyl oleate. (The selectively hydrogenated cottonseed oil fatty acids had an IV. of 73.2, a thiocyanogen value of 68.0, and a neutralization equivalent of 274.) The product had an IV. of 44.9 and gave a nitrogen analysis of 3.05% (theory 3.14% It was tested as a vinyl chloride resin plasticizer (see Sample No. 5 in Table I).
The product, N-bis(2-acetoxyethyl)amide of the hydrogenated cottonseed acids, was tested as a plasticizer for cellulose triacetate (41% acetyl). This composition, cast as a film from a mixture of 30 parts of diesteramide and 100 parts of cellulose triacetate in acetone solvent, was flexible, clear, nongreasy, and withstood repeated flexing along a sharp crease without cracking. This is a compatible composition.
Example 6.N-bis(2-acetoxyethyl)epoxyoleamide 0.077 mole of the product from Example 3 was dissolved in 50 grams of chloroform and added slowly to 192 grams of a chloroform solution of perbenzoic acid, containing 11.7 grams (0.085 mole) of perbenzoic acid, while maintaining a temperature of to 5 C. The reaction mixture was allowed to stand at 0 C. for 24 hours. The N-bis(2-acetoxyethyl)epoxyoleamide was extracted with a volume of diethyl ether equal to two times that of the reaction mixture. The extract was washed free of any benzoic acid, and the ether stripped off. The product had a nitrogen content of 2.73% (theory 2.99%) and an oxirane-oxygen content of 3.74% (theory 3.42%). It was tested as a plasticizer for vinyl chloride resin (see Sample No. 6 in Table I).
Example 7.-N-bis(2 '-acet0xyethyl)amide of partially epoxidized cottonseed oil fatty acids The product of Example 4 was partially epoxidized with perbenzoic acid by the process described in Example 6. In this instance the ratio of perbenzoic acid to amide was 0.056 to 0.077 mole. The oxirane-oxygen content of the product was 2.35%. The product was tested as a plasticizer for vinyl chloride resin (see Sample No. 7 in Table 1).
