Abstract
The invention relates to a process for making compounds having fatty acid moieties by reacting a fatty acid with a (hydroxyalkyl)amino alkane acid or a (hydroxyalkyl)amine and an aqueous base followed by heating the reaction mixture. The process is particularly useful for the formation of di-fatty acid esters from BES, and tri-fatty acid esters from TES. The reaction parameters can be adjusted to produce useful additional products of the TES-trioleate, including fatty acid amides of mono-, di- and tri-oleoyl-TES.
