Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A 1.0 liter round bottom flask equipped with a nitrogen purge, thermocouple, dropping funnel, Dean Stark collector and condenser, vacuum connection and heating mantle was charged with 292.0 g of TETA (2.0 moles) and heated to 120° C. With agitation, 244.0 g of benzoic acid (2.0 moles) was added over a 30 minute period. After addition was complete, heat was again applied to the reaction mixture to slowly raise the temperature and distill off the water from the condensation reaction. When 36.0 g of distillate was removed the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and collected. 498.6 g of TETA/BzOH amidelimidazoline was obtained (98.7% of theory). The product contained 6.75% free TETA by GC, a viscosity of 4,900 cP and a calculated amine hydrogen equivalent weight (AHEW) of 68.2.
