This invention is generally directed to new organic sulfate and organic sulfonate compositions and processes for the preparation of such compositions. These compositions are of the following formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is an alkyl group containing from about 12 carbon atoms to about 22 carbon atoms, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are independently selected from alkyl groups containing from about 1 carbon atom to about 5 carbon atoms, R.sub.4 is an alkylene group containing from about 1 carbon atom to about 5 carbon atoms, R.sub.5 is a para substituted phenyl group wherein the substituent is an alkyl group containing from about 1 carbon atom to about 6 carbon atoms, or an alkyl group containing from about 1 carbon atom to about 3 carbon atoms, and n is the number 3 or 4.

Organic sulfate and sulfonate compositions

An improved supported thorium sulfate catalyst is prepared by converting a thorium compound impregnated in the carrier to thorium sulfate in situ. The improved catalyst is used in the production of N-alkylated amines, by contacting an alkanol with a primary or secondary amine, in the vapor phase.

Production of N-alkylated amines and catalyst therefor

An antistatic polymer blend comprising a synthetic polymer and an antistatically effective amount of a compound of the formula: ##EQU1## wherein R is alkyl of 4 to 18 carbon atoms unsubstituted or substituted by halo or aryl.
