  • Patent number: 7718816
    Abstract: To provide: a carboxamide derivative having reduced content of amide ester; a method for producing thereof; and a detergent composition containing the carboxamide derivative and having excellent low-temperature stability. One method for producing a carboxamide derivative is to react carboxamide, produced with a manufacturing method of carboxamide including 0.02% by weight to 0.18% by weight of amide ester, with hydrogen peroxide, wherein the method includes a carboxamide synthesis process to synthesize carboxamide by reacting diamine with fatty acid ester at a molar rate of 1.20 to 1.60. Another method for producing a carboxamide derivative is to react the carboxamide with monohaloalkylcarboxylic acid or a salt thereof. A carboxamide derivative is produced by the method for producing a carboxamide derivative. A detergent composition includes the carboxamide derivative. The carboxamide derivative is preferably amidoamine oxide or amide betaine.

  • Patent number: 7585989
    Abstract: A production process for a carboxylic amide compound in which color tone stability after the passage of time is good and in order to provide production processes for betaine, a quaternary ammonium salt and an amine salt using the above carboxylic amide compound, a production process for carboxylic amide and derivatives thereof characterized by reacting higher fatty acid or an ester thereof represented by the following Formula (1) with diamine represented by the following Formula (2) under the presence of an organic phosphonic acid compound represented by the following Formula (3) or adding the organic phosphonic acid compound after the reaction or after removing excess diamine after the reaction: R1—COOR2??(1) wherein each of the R and Z groups and n are defined.
