-
Page/Page column 36-37, (2010/05/14)
A process for the preparation of acylated secondary alcohol alkoxylates, said process comprising : (i) reaction of one or more internal olefins with one or more carboxylic acids in the presence of a catalyst composition in order to form one or more carboxylic acid esters; (ii) reaction of one or more carboxylic acid esters from step (i) with one or more alkylene oxide reactants, in the presence of a catalytically effective amount of a catalyst composition comprising: (a) one or more alkaline earth metal salts of carboxylic and/or hydroxycarboxylic acids and/or hydrates of the former; (b) an oxy-acid selected from sulphuric acid and ortho-phosphoric acid; (c) an alcohol and/or an ester; and/or products of the reciprocal reactions of (a), (b) and/or (c) in order to form one or more acylated secondary alcohol alkoxylates; and optionally (iii) hydrolysis or transesterification of one or more acylated secondary alcohol alkoxylates from step (ii) in order to form one or more secondary alcohol alkoxylates; and a process for making secondary alcohol alkoxy sulphates comprising the steps of: preparing secondary alcohol alkoxylates by the afore-mentioned process; and sulphating the secondary alcohol alkoxylates.
