Procedure

As described in Example 1, 1 mol of 1,2-epoxydecane was caused to react with 5 times the molar quantity of n-butanol and 0.04 gm-atom of sodium. After distillation of the excess alcohol, the reaction with 10 mols of ethylene oxide was conducted in an autoclave under the conditions described in Example 1, except for the addition of the sodium methylate catalyst. The product thus obtained had a cloud point of 64°C.
