Reaction Steps

A 250 ml, 3-neck flask equipped with a stirrer, thermometer, Dean-Stark receiver and condenser was charged with 18 g of maleic anhydride (0.18 mole) and 60 ml carbon tetrachloride. Erucyl amine (59.0 g, 0.18 mole) was added dropwise at 70° C. under a nitrogen atmosphere. The mixture was stirred at 75° C. for 4 hours. The temperature was raised to 90° C. to distill out carbon tetrachloride and the mixture was then stripped at 100° C. 10 mmHg vacuum for 15 minutes to afford 73 g of N-Erucyl-maleic acid monoamide. An IR spectrum indicated the presence of amide and carboxyl groups. This product had an acid number of 135; no total amine value; a saponification value of 137.6; a melting point of 55° C.
