The invention relates to a continuous method for producing fatty acid amides, according to which at least one fatty acid of formula (I),R&#x2014;COOH&#x2003;&#x2003;(I)wherein Ris an optionally substituted aliphatic hydrocarbon radical, is reacted with at least one amine of formula (II),HNRR&#x2003;&#x2003;(II)wherein Rand Rare independently hydrogen or a hydrocarbon radical comprising between 1 and 100 C atoms, to form an ammonium salt, and said ammonium salt is then reacted to form a fatty acid amide, under microwave irradiation in a reaction pipe, the longitudinal axis of the pipe being oriented in the direction of propagation of the microwaves of a monomode microwave applicator.

Continuous method for producing fatty acid amides

The invention relates to ammonium nitriles of general formula (I), wherein the radicals R, R, Rand Xhave the meaning as cited in the description and Rand Rrespectively represent individually a straight or branched chained C&#x2013;C-alkyl, alkenyl or alkylether group. The inventive compounds are used as bleaching activators in washing, cleaning, and disinfective agents and in textile and paper bleaching.

Ammonium nitriles and the use thereof as hydrophobic bleaching activators

A process for preparing acyloxybenzenesulfonates by reacting a carboxylic acid derivative with a salt of a phenolsulfonic acid in the presence of an antioxidant, preferably 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol. The addition of such antioxidants gives a product having a high color quality.

Bleaching-active metal complexes

Process for the preparation of amido phenyl esters by reacting an amido acid with an inorganic acid chloride in the melt and reacting the resulting amidocarboxylic acid halide with a phenol derivative in an organic solvent.

Process for preparing amido phenyl esters

A process for the preparation of amido acid phenyl esters of the formula ##STR1## by reaction of a compound of the formula ##STR2## with a compound of the formula ##STR3## in the presence of an acid halide, where A, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, X and M are as defined in the description, is claimed. The resulting amido acid phenyl esters are used as bleach activators in detergents and cleaners.

What is claimed is a process for preparing macropolycyclic polyamines of the formula ##STR1## where A.sup.1, A.sup.2, A.sup.3 and A.sup.4 are as defined in the description. These compounds are prepared by a novel improved process by reacting a cyclic amine of the formula ##STR2## with a compound of the formula X--A.sup.2 --Y or X--A.sup.3 --Y where A.sup.1, A.sup.2, A.sup.3 and A.sup.4 are as defined in the description and X and Y are a leaving group.
