Quaternary ammonium,
betaine, or sulfobetaine compositions derived from fatty amines, wherein the
fatty amine is made by reducing the
amide reaction product of a metathesis-derived C10-C17 monounsaturated acid,
octadecene-1,18-dioic acid, or their
ester derivatives and a secondary amine, are disclosed.
Quaternary ammonium,
betaine, or sulfobetaine compositions derived from fatty amidoamines, wherein the
amidoamine is made by reacting of a metathesis-derived C10-C17 monounsaturated acid,
octadecene-1,18-dioic acid, or their
ester derivatives and an aminoalkyl-substituted
tertiary amine, are also disclosed. The quaternized compositions are advantageously sulfonated or sulfated. In one aspect, the ester derivative of the C10-C17 monoun-saturated acid or
octadecene-1,18-dioic acid is a lower
alkyl ester. In other aspects, the ester derivative is a modified
triglyceride made by self-metathesis of a natural oil or an unsaturated
triglyceride made by cross-metathesis of a natural oil with an olefin. The
quaternary ammonium,
betaine, and sulfobetaine compositions and their sulfonated or sulfated derivatives are valuable for a wide variety of end uses, including cleaners, fabric treatment, hair conditioning,
personal care (liquid cleansing products, conditioning bars, oral care products),
antimicrobial compositions, agricultural uses, and
oil field applications.
