reading for research chemists

available free! concise Today, after years in research laboratories, the fatty amines are commercially available. As a result, chemists are now eyeing them with renewed interest and every day new applications for these versatile newcomers are being discovered. To satisfy this growing curiosity and awareness, Armour is offering research chemists a detailed 24-page technical bulletin entitled "The Chemistry of Fatty Amines." This concise, informative booklet describes the nature, properties and reactions of the fatty amines. It's authoritative

Table of Contents includes: Types of Fatty Amines . . . Synthesis of Fatty Amines . . . Saturated Fatty Amines . . . Unsaturated Fatty Amines . . . Vapor Pressure of Fatty Amines . . . Solubility of Fatty Amines . . . Handling The Fatty Amines . . . Quaternary Ammonium Salts . . . Chemical Reactions of Fatty Amines . . . Coordination Reactions of the Fatty Amines (Hydration, with Mineral Acids, with Organic Acids, Formation of Metal-Ammino Complex Ions, Coordination of Alkyl Groups by Tertiary Amines, Tertiary Amine Oxides) Substitution Reactions of the Fatty Amines (N-Alkylation, Acylation, Reactions with Aldehydes and Ketones, Reactions with Nitrous Acid, Oxidation, Pyrolysis, Guanidines) Cationic Surface Activity Plus a bibliography of technical references relating to the fatty amines.

Just what are fatty amines? They are organic bases or "alkalies" made from fatty acids. Many of their desirable features are inherited from ammonia—for the fatty amines are substituted ammonias and retain most of the reactivity of that compound. Judicious breeding has added many new, advantageous characteristics. Still other desirable properties are imparted by the long, normal alkyl groups derived from their parent fatty acids. What are their uses? The Armeens, Armour's fatty amines, are already widely used in such diverse commercial applications as ore flotation reagents, germicides, cationic emulsification, asphalt bonding, pigment grinding, synthetic detergents, chemical intermediates, and as penetrants and repellents.
