| Abstract: | Novel Imidazolines and Their Derivatives from Fatty Acids and Hydroxyalkylamines Epoxides, derived from terminal and internal olefins, were reacted with ethylenediamine to give N-(vic.-hydroxyalkyl)-ethylenediamines and condensed with fatty acids and aromatic as well as aliphatic mono- and dicarboxylic acids to give 2-imidazolines. Quaternation of the 2-imidazolines yields imidazolinium salts, which, according to their structure, show strong microbiocide properties; they are also of interest as textile auxiliary. |
