Abstract: Sulfate and sulfonate derivatives of unsaturated fatty alcohols, processes for making them, and methods of using them are disclosed. In one aspect, a monounsaturated fatty alcohol composition is made by reducing a metathesis-derived monounsaturated alkyl ester. The fatty alcohol composition is then converted to a sulfate or sulfonate derivative by one or more of alkoxylation, sulfation, sulfonation, and sulfitation. Of particular interest are the sulfate and ether sulfate derivatives. Microscopy studies indicate that the unsaturated sodium sulfates in particular have a lamellar phase that should enable formulation at high actives levels. Sulfate compositions comprising 40 to 60 wt. % of a monounsaturated fatty primary alcohol sulfate and 40 to 60 wt. % of a secondary hydroxyalkyl primary alcohol sulfate are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a process for sulfating unsaturated alcohols using inexpensive reagents and mild reaction conditions. The process comprises reacting an unsaturated alcohol of the formula R--OH, wherein R is a C.sub.8 -C.sub.22 alkenyl group, with an ether sulfate of the formula R.sup.1 (OCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2).sub.n OSO.sub.3 M, wherein R.sup.1 is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 hydrocarbyl group, n is an integer from 1 to 10, and M is an alkali metal, to form an unsaturated sulfate; said reaction being carried out in the presence of a catlaytically effective amount of an acid catalyst. The mole ratio of unsaturated alcohol reactant to ether sulfate ranges from about 0.5:1 to about 2:1. In this process the sulfation occurs primarily at the hydroxyl group of the unsaturated alcohol, with minimal sulfation at the olefinic moiety of said alcohol.
