Fatty amide compositions and derivatives thereof are disclosed. The fatty amides include C 10 -C 17 monounsaturated acid, octadecene-1,18-dioic acid, or their ester derivatives reacted with primary or secondary amines generated by metathesis. Derivatives prepared by reduction, quaternization, sulfonation, alkoxylation, sulfation, and sulfitation of fatty amides are also included. The amine reactant may be diethylenetriamine or (2-aminoethyl)ethanolamine, which provide imidazoline amides or esters, respectively. In one aspect, the ester derivative of a C 10 -C 17 monounsaturated acid or octadecene-1,18-dioic acid is a lower alkyl ester. In other aspects, the ester derivatives are modified triglycerides prepared by self-metathesis of natural oils, or unsaturated triglycerides prepared by cross-metathesis of natural oils with olefins. The compositions are valuable for cleaners, fabric treatment, hair care, personal care, antimicrobial compositions, agricultural uses, and oilfield applications. |
