Symmetrical trifatty amines

Of the three fatty amines, the tertiary fatty amines, with three alkyl groups, find the most application in industries. They are further classified into three types (1) symmetrical trifatty amine (R3N), in which all three alkyl chains are identical (2) asymmetrical dimethyl fatty amine [RN(CH3)2] or methyl difatty amine (R2NCH3) and (3) those derived from primary or secondary amine by the reaction with ethylene oxide. These asymmetrical fatty amines are the bases for the manufacture of organomodified clay for the petroleum industry, biocides, and algicides.
