This disclosure relates to anti-agglomerant low dosage hydrate inhibitors that can inhibit the formation of hydrate agglomerants and/or plugs. Thus, provided herein are carboxy alkyl ester compounds that can be used in hydrate inhibitor compositions and methods of inhibiting formation of hydrate agglomerants in a fluid comprising water, a gas, and optionally a liquid hydrocarbon. Also provided herein are methods of making the carboxy alkyl ester compound.

A method is disclosed. The method includes receiving transaction data in an authorization request message from an access device, where the transaction data is associated with a merchant and a transaction location. The method also includes analyzing the transaction data to determine if a location database comprises location data corresponding to the merchant associated with the transaction data, and adding the transaction location and information regarding the access device to the location database.

Disclosed is a method for producing 1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoyl-3-acetyl glycerol of high purity with high yield by carrying out acetylation of 1-palmitoyl glycerol with acetic anhydride or a mixture of acetic anhydride and acetyl chloride. The method for producing 1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoyl-3-acetyl glycerol comprises the steps of: preparing 1-palmitoyl-3-acetyl glycerol intermediate of Chemical formula 2 in the specification by reacting 1-palmitoyl glycerol of Chemical formula 1 in the specification and an acetylating agent selected from the group consisting of (i) acetic anhydride and (ii) a mixture of acetic anhydride and acetyl chloride; and reacting the 1-palmitoyl-3-acetyl glycerol intermediate and linoleic acid.

Tripentyl esters of trimellitic acid, especially mixtures of triisopentyl esters of trimellitic acid comprising isomeric pentyl radicals in which more than 5 mol % of the isomeric pentyl radicals incorporated in the ester mixture are branched, have good compatibility with PVC and PVC-containing polymers and simultaneously exhibit a lesser tendency to migrate.
