Abstract
Ethoxylation of simple alcohols such as methanol, ethanol and butanol in the presence of tripropylamine, in addition to the main reaction pr oducts, results in by-products from tripropylamine and ethylene oxide. This side-reaction consumes tripropylamine, forming dipropylamine eth oxylates and alcohol ethoxylates. These compounds remain in the produc t and influence the commercial properties of alcohol oxyethylates.
