ABSTRACT:
An improved process is disclosed for selectively producing a bis-(morpholino-N-alkyl) ether directly from the corresponding N-(hydroxyalkyl)morpholine compound. The improved process includes contacting the N-(hydroxyalkyl)morpholine compound with a catalytically effective amount of a silica-alumina or certain phosphorus containing substances at a temperature of about 200.degree. C to 300.degree. C under a pressure sufficient to maintain the mixture substantially in liquid phase and recovering from the resultant reaction mixture the bis-(morpholino-N-alkyl) ether.
According to the preferred embodiment, N-(2-hydroxyethyl)morpholine is heated in the presence of a catalytic amount of a silica-alumina catalyst having an alumina content of from about 5 to about 50 wt. % at temperatures of from about 240.degree. C to about 290.degree. C in liquid phase to selectively produce the corresponding N,N',2,2'-dimorpholinodiethyl ether (DMDEE).
