ABSTRACT:
This invention discloses a rapid method of production for fatty acid amide from fatty acid and urea. One example is the preparation of oleylamide from oleic acid and urea. The yields are high and oleylamide is selectively formed by judicious choice of catalyst. The production of fatty acid amide involves heating fatty acid and urea in a microwave oven with the use of Lewis acid catalyst. The product from the reaction is subjected to solvent extraction with chloroform and then followed by purification with n-hexane, ethanol and acetonitrile via recrystalization method. Such an oleylamide is preferred for application as a mould release agent, slip agent in plastic film production, water repellent and as a raw material for cosmetics production.
