| | Amine separation process - Patent 5189221 |
 | | In accordance with the present invention, a formyldialkanolamine selected from the group consisting of formyldiethanolamine, formyl aminoethylethanolamine and formyl 2-(2-aminoethylamino)-ethanol is added to a mixture of alkyl amines to form a reaction mixture which is heated at a temperature of about 120.degree. |
 | | The starting materials for the present invention are carbon monoxide, a formyldialkanolamine selected from the group consisting of formyldiethanolamine, formyl aminoethylethanolamine and formyl 2-(2-aminoethylamino)-ethanol or, alternately, the corresponding dialkanolamine, and a mixture of C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkylamines such as a mixture of methylamines, a mixture of ethylamines, a mixture of isopropylamines, a mixture of butylamines, etc. |
 | | The formyldialkanolamine selected from the group consisting of formyldiethanolamine, formyl aminoethylethanolamine and formyl 2-(2-aminoethylamino)-ethanol starting material of the present invention may be used as such, or may be generated in situ by reacting the dialkanolamine with carbon monoxide at a temperature of about 100.degree. |
