Among the extensive applications of oleochemicals as industrial products, nitrogen derivatives
of fatty acids such as amides have been extensively used as antislip and antiblock additives for
polythene films in which they are incorporated. They are also used as wall repellents for textiles
and as mold release agents, and they are employed in rubber goods and printing inks. Because
of this interest in the biological and industrial potential of oleochemicals, a series of novel N,N‘-bis(1-carboxy-15-hydroxy-n-pentadec-8-yl)alkyl or -aryl amides derivatives such as hydrazides,
thiosemicarbazides, oxadiazoles, and triazoles has been synthesized. These newly synthesized
oleochemicals have been studied and characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectroscopies and elemental analyses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
