Abstract
In the process described, purification and improvement in odor of, in particular, fatty alkyldimethylamines is achieved by exposing, in the liquid phase, the tertiary amine to be treated to a vacuum or an inert gas stream. By means of the process according to the invention, in a relatively short time and in a simple and economical manner, a tertiary fatty alkylmethylamine is obtained which is essentially trimethylamine-free and improved in odor.
