Pre-Esterification Of Primary Polyols To Improve Solubility In Solvents Used In The Polyol Process
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for producing an ester comprising:
- A. pre-esterifying a primary polyol;
B. reacting the pre-esterified primary polyol with ozone, and optionally a biobased oil, oil derivative, or modified oil, in the presence of a solvent at a temperature between about −
80°
C. to about 80°
C. to produce intermediate products; and
C. refluxing the intermediate products or further reacting at lower than reflux temperature, wherein esters are produced from the intermediate products at double bond sites; and
substantially all of the fatty acids are transesterified to esters at the fatty acid sites.

13. A method for producing amides comprising:
-
A. pre-esterifying a primary polyol; B. amidifying a biobased oil, or oil derivative so that substantially all of the fatty acids are amidified at the fatty acid sites; C. reacting the amidified biobased oil, or oil derivative with ozone and the pre-esterified primary polyol in the presence of a solvent at a temperature between about −
80°
C. to about 80°
C. to produce intermediate products;D. refluxing the intermediate products or further reacting at lower than reflux temperature, wherein ester alcohols are produced from the intermediate products at double bond sites to produce a hybrid ester/amide. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
