Alkaline earth metal salts vicinal hydroxy, alkoxy - substituted c (arrow down) 1 (arrow down) (arrow down) 6 (arrow down) - c (arrow down) 2 (arrow down) (arrow down) 2 (arrow down) - fatty acids, processes for their preparation and their use as alkoxylation catalysts

摘要

In the catalysis of polyalkoxylation of compounds with active hydrogen atoms, alkaline earth metal salts of vicinal hydroxyl-, alkoxy-substituted C16-C22-fatty acids of the formula (I) …IMAGE… in which R represents straight-chain or branched alkyl or alkenyl groups or hydroxyalkyl groups, all of which are optionally alkylated with a C16-C22-fatty acid, result in a narrow homologue distribution of the polyalkoxylation products. …IMAGE…
