Compositions that include cationic surfactants and methods of synthesizing compositions that include cationic surfactants. The surfactants include a quaternary amine and a saturated or unsaturated alkyl chain with 4 to 28 carbons. The surfactants can be generated by reacting a fatty acid modified with an amino alkyl group and an epihalohydrin in the presence of a base. The cationic surfactants can be generated by reacting a fatty acid modified with an amino alkyl group, an epihalohydrin, and a carboxylic acid. The cationic surfactants can be generated by reacting a carboxylic acid, an epihalohydrin, and a catalyst to afford a halo-substituted alkyl ester, followed by reacting the halo-substituted alky ester with a fatty acid modified with an amino alkyl group.

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 C.sub.10-C.sub.17 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 C.sub.10-C.sub.17 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 sulfitated. In one aspect, the ester derivative of the C.sub.10-C.sub.17 monounsaturated 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 sulfitated 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.

The present invention relates to the field of fuel additives for fuel compositions and more particularly to a composition that can be used as a friction modifier, and its preparation process. More particularly, the present invention concerns a composition comprising at least one fatty acid amide of diethanolamine (DEA) and at least one fatty acid ester and/or amide of DEA oligomer, and it preparation process.

This invention relates to a chemistry branch, particularly to the field of compounds' organic synthesis that belongs to the aromatic bicyclic or naphthalene category, used in the detection of amyloid sheets. These new naphthalene derivatives have a general formula: Wherein R represents mutually independent groups. In I: R.sub.1:-alkylenyl-C(O)NH-alkylenyl-R.sub.3, -alkylenyl-C(O)O—R.sub.4, R.sub.3:—COOH, —OH, —SH, —NH.sub.2, -alkyl-NH-alkyl-N-dithiocarbamate alkaline earth metal salts, R.sub.4: H, succinimidyl group, R.sub.2: —H,-alkyl. In II: R.sub.1: -alkyl, -alkylenyl-halide-alkylenyl-hydroxyl-alkylenyl-O-aryl, —O-alkylsulfonate alkylenyl, R.sub.2: -halide-alkylenyl-O-aryl, -alkylenyl-O-alkylsulfonate, -alkylenyl-halide-, —CH(O), —HC═C(CN).sub.2, —HC═CHNO.sub.2, -alkylenyl-NH.sub.2, -alkylenyl-NH-alkyl, -alkylenyl-alkyl-N-dithiocarbamate alkaline salts. The terms “alkyl” and “alkylenyl” refer to linear or branched aliphatic chains, preferably from 1 to 4 carbon atoms and the term halide to fluorine, bromine or iodine. These compounds are neutral, lipophilic and have low molecular weight and therefore they cross the blood brain barrier and attach to the amyloid sheets. The present invention provides procedures for obtaining naphthalene derivatives with good yields, which can be practical, economical and adapted to a larger-scale manufacturing. We are unaware whether the compounds presented in this invention have been previously reported.
