Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

An autoclave equipped with a stirrer and a temperature gage was charged with 270.5 g of octadecanol and 0.1 g of potassium hydroxide and the mixture was dehydrated at 120° C. under a vacuum of 2.6 kPa for one hour. Then, the mixture was cooled to 60° C. and 58.4 g of acrylonitrile was introduced into the autoclave over one hour, which was then kept as it was for one hour to complete the reaction. Next, 1.9 g of Raney nickel, 0.3 g of sodium hydroxide and 16.1 g of ion exchange water were introduced into the autoclave, which was then reacted for hydrogenation and reduction at 130° C. for 3 hours. Then, the reaction mixture was subjected to filtration to remove the catalyst, distilled and refined to obtain 294.3 g of a corresponding 3-octadecyloxypropylamine.
