Abstract
This invention relates to an improvement in the process of alkoxylation of compounds containing alcoholic hydroxyl groups by reacting compounds containing hydroxyl groups with alkylene oxides in the presence of alkoxylation catalysts. The said improvement involves the use of a tertiary oxonium salt with a substantially non-polarizable halogeno-complex anion as the said alkoxylation catalyst. Use of such catalysts gives lower amounts of unreacted alcohols in the products, particularly when secondary alkanols of 8 to 24 carbon atoms are employed.
