Copper oxide → Copper Ethanolamine Dodecyldimethylamine Oxide Hexadecyldimethylamine Oxide

Participants

Reaction Steps

480 g of copper ethanolamine solution prepared as in Example 1 (i.e. solution (II)) was mixed with the aqueous amine oxide (precursor) solution prepared in Example 2(B) to yield a concentrated solution. This solution was diluted with 6650 grams of deionized water and the resulting solution (containing 0.6% copper oxide, 1.0% hexadecyldimethylamine oxide, and 0.4% dodecyldimethylamine oxide) was used to treat wood in a pressure cylinder.
