Reaction equation

[C:1]([OH:10])(=[O:9])[CH2:2][CH2:3]CCCCC.[CH2:11]([CH2:14][NH:15][CH2:16][CH2:17][CH2:18][NH2:19])[CH2:12][NH2:13]>>[C:1]([OH:10])(=[O:9])[CH2:2][CH3:3].[CH2:11]([CH2:14][NH:15][CH2:16][CH2:17][CH2:18][NH2:19])[CH2:12][NH2:13]

Participants

Reactant 2

HCID 379Octanoic Acid

HCID 5942Bis(3-aminopropyl)amine

Product 2

HCID 1032Propionic Acid

HCID 5942Bis(3-aminopropyl)amine

Procedure

In manner analogous to Example 3, polyester and polyacrylonitrile fibre may be treated with the product obtained by using, in place of the acylation product from caprylic acid and dipropylene triamine, 17.6 parts of a product formed by thermal condensation of 14.8 parts of propionic acid with 26.2 parts of dipropylene triamine, having a viscosity of about 150 cp (approximately 50% solution).
