Thermal decomposition of dimethyllaurylamine oxide

  • Published:
Journal of the American Oil Chemists’ Society

Abstract

The principal reaction during thermal decom-position of dimethyllaurylamine oxide is deoxy-genation to dimethyllaurylamine; 1-dodecene is also formed. The rates of amine oxide decomposi-tion have been determined in the range of 80-100C. Interpretation of the kinetic data shows that deoxygenation is a primary decomposition process. Comparison of the energy and entropy of activation for olefin formation (36.3 kcal, 12.4 e.u.) and amine formation (20.6 kcal, -30.8 e.u.) shows that these are competing processes with different transition states.
