A detergent composition can include a cleaning composition including: (a) linear alkyl benzene sulphonate surfactant; (b) alkyl ethoxylated sulphate surfactant; and (c) alkoxylated polymer.

Cleaning composition

Disclosed is a method of making a 2-substituted-1,4-benzenediamine by nucleophilic aromatic substitution.

Methods of synthesizing 2-substituted-1,4-benzenediamine

The present application relates to molecules comprising one or more beta-hydroxyamine moieties, for example, aminosilicones and compositions such as consumer products comprising such molecules, as well as processes for making and using such molecules and such compositions. The aforementioned process is safer, more efficient and thus more economical. Thus, the aforementioned moleculers may be more widely used.

Process of making &#x3b2;-hydroxyamino compounds

A process for preparing a detergent alcohol mixture comprising the steps of providing one or more poly-branched poly-olefins, wherein the poly-branched poly-olefins must contain one non-branched terminal olefin and one or more additional branched olefins in the molecule; hydroformylating said poly-branched poly-olefins to produce a poly-branched olefin containing aldehyde product with one or more olefins or mixture thereof; reducing the aldehyde product of step (b) in the presence of hydrogen and a hydrogenation catalyst to form a poly-branched detergent alcohol mixture; and removing said poly-branched alcohol mixture from said catalyst and branched aldehydes, alcohols and surfactants produced from the products of this process.

Specific branched aldehydes, alcohols, surfactants, and consumer products based thereon

A surfactant composition comprising one or more surfactant derivatives of isomers of acyclic detergent alcohol having 11, 16, or 21 carbon atoms and two, three, four or five methyl or ethyl branches or mixtures thereof wherein the surfactant derivatives are selected from the group consisting of cationic surfactants, zwitterionic surfactants, amine oxide surfactants, alkylpolyglycoside surfactants, soaps, fatty acids, di-long-chain alkyl cationic surfactants and mixtures.

Specific branched surfactants and consumer products

Acyclic polyaldehydes and polyalcohols having 11, 16 or 21 carbon atoms and comprising at least two aldehyde or hydroxyl alcohol groups, at least three branches, and three or less carbon-carbon double bonds.

Specific polybranched polyaldehydes, polyalcohols, and surfactants, and consumer products based thereon

Fatty N-alkyl amides are synthesized directly from glycerides (preferably triglycerides) and amines in the absence of a catalyst, and preferably without a solvent. The method provides for products suitable for use without further purification, preferably after separating the glycerol and amide products. The disclosed method is also useful for the synthesis of glycerol from glycerides and ammonia and/or primary amines.

Synthesis of fatty N-alkyl amides

Amines such as methyl amine are reacted with materials such as reducing sugars in aqueous/hydroxy solvents such as water and/or methanol to prepare N-alkyl polyhydroxy amines. Accordingly, glucose is reacted with methyl amine and the resulting adduct is hydrogenated to yield N-methylglucamine. The N-alkyl polyhydroxyamines can be subsequently reacted with fatty esters to provide polyhydroxy fatty acid amides useful as detersive surfactants. Thus, detersive surfactants are available from non-petrochemical precursors such as sugars and sugar sources such as corn syrup, and fatty acid esters derivable from various fats and oils.

Process for preparing N-alkyl polyhydroxyalkyl amines in aqueous/hydroxy

N-alkylamino polyols substantially free from nickel contamination are prepared by reacting N-alkylamines with reducing sugars in the presence of hydrogen and nickel catalysts under defined conditions of temperature and pressure. The polyols are characterized by their low odor and low color characteristics. Thus, high quality N-methyl glucamine, N-methyl fructamines and the like are secured.

Process for making N-alkylamino polyols

Amines such as methyl amine are reacted with materials such as reducing sugars in hydroxy solvents such as methanol to prepare N-alkyl polyhydroxy amines. Accordingly, glucose is reacted with methyl amine and the resulting adduct is hydrogenated to yield N-methylglucamine. The N-alkyl polyhydroxyamines can be subsequently reacted with fatty esters to provide polyhydroxy fatty acid amides useful as detersive surfactants.
