The dimerdiols and/or esters thereof used for producing the dimerdiol carboxylate and oils comprising the ester of the present invention are known, and can be produced, for example, by hydrogen reduction of industrially obtainable dimer acids and/or esters thereof.
A dimer acid is a known dibasic acid obtainable by an intermolecular polymerization reaction of an unsaturated fatty acid, and the industrial production process thereof is approximately standardized in the art. For example, a dimer acid and/or a lower alcohol ester thereof can be obtained by dimerization of an unsaturated fatty acid having 11 to 22 carbon atoms and/or a lower alcohol ester thereof with a clay catalyst.
An industrially obtainable dimer acid is mainly composed of a dibasic acid having about 36 carbon atoms. It also contains a trimer acid and monomer acid in any amount depending on the degree of purification. In general, those in which the content of a dimer acid is over 70 wt % and those in which the content of a dimer acid has been increased to 90% or more are commercially available. Further, those which oxidation stability has been improved by hydrogenation of double bonds remaining after the dimerization reaction are also commercially available. In the present invention, any of dimer acids thus commercially available in present can be used.

In addition, above described dimer acid usable as a raw material of the dimerdiol can also be used as the dicarboxylic acid to be esterified with the dimerdiol.
The dimerdiol carboxylate of the present invention is obtained, for example, by esterification of a dimerdiol obtained as described above or transesterification of a lower alcohol ester thereof with a monocarboxylic acid having 4 to 34 carbon atoms described above or a dicarboxylic acid described above.
The esterification conditions are not particularly restricted. In general, the esterification is conducted by a conventional method.
For example, the esterification can be conducted by using, as a catalyst, p-toluenesulfonic acid, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, methanesulfonic acid, boron trifluoride, hydrogen fluoride and the like, and using, as a solvent, benzene, toluene, hexane, heptane and the like, at 50 to 260° C. Alternatively, the esterification can be conducted with using neither solvent nor catalyst at 100 to 260° C.
In the transesterification reaction, an alkali catalyst such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, potassium carbonate or the like, or a metal alkoxide such as sodium methoxide, sodium ethoxide, potassium butoxide or the like can be used as a catalyst.
In an esterification reaction with a monocarboxylic acid, the average esterification degree of the resulting ester can be arbitrarily controlled from monoester to diester by changing the charging ratio of a dimerdiol to a monocarboxylic acid.
The resulting ester may be a diester, a monoester or a mixture thereof depending on its use. The ester may be a mixture of two or more kinds of esters with different carboxylic acids. The oil materials of the present invention further comprises, in addition to the above esters, an ester with lower monocarboxylic acid such as acetic acid and propionic acid and/or an ester with a monocarboxylic acid having 34 or more carbon atoms. The oil materials of the present invention comprising the dimerdiol monocarboxylate thus obtained can be used in suitable uses as it is. Alternatively, it can be purified by a usual method, if necessary, before being applied to various used.
In an esterification reaction with a dicarboxylilc acid, the average esterification degree and the average molecular weight of the resulting ester can be controlled by changing the charging ratio of a dimerdiol to a dicarboxylic acid.
The charging ratio is preferably from 0.2 to 1.2 mol, more preferably from 0.4 to 1.0, in terms of the molar amount of a dicarboxylic acid based on the average molecular weight calculated from its acid value per 1 mol of a dimerdiol based on the average molecular weight calculated from its hydroxyl value.
The resulting dimerdiol dicarboxylate can have various average esterification degree and average molecular weight, and may be a mixed ester of two or more carboxylic acids, depending on its use. The oil materials of the present invention comprising a dimerdiol dicarboxylate thus obtained can be used in suitable uses as it is. Alternatively, it can be purified by a usual method, if necessary, before being applied to various use.
The dimerdiol monocarboxylate and dimerdiol dicarboxylate obtained as described above and oil materials comprising the ester are good in oxidation stability. The oxidation stability can be further improved by adding an antioxidant. As the antioxidant, those usually added to an oil material can be used, and particularly, vitamin E is desirable. As vitamin E, d-α-tocopherol, d-δ-tocopherol, d,1-α-tocopherol, d-α-tocopherol acetate, d,1-α-tocopherol acetate, tocopherol mixtures separated and purified from soy bean and rapeseed and the like can be used. The addition amount of the antioxidant is not particularly restricted, and suitably from 10 ppm to 10000 ppm based on the amount of ester.
In the esterification with a monocarboxylic acid, esters having a relatively high molecular weight from about 1,000 to 1,300 can be obtained. In spite of the relatively high molecular weight, the oil material has lower viscosity and manifests dry feeling without stickiness, causes little skin irritation and has high durability. Further, it has excellent oxidation stability and hydrolysis-resistance, and shows high refractive index and excellent gloss. Further, cosmetics and external agents comprising such a dimerdiol monocarboxylate are excellent in safety, hydrolysis-resistance, gloss and feeling of use.
In the esterification reaction with a dicarboxylic acid, a dimerdiol dicarboxylate can be obtained in which the weight-average molecular weight by GPC (gel permeation chromatography) analysis is from about 2,000 to 20,000. Particularly, when this weight-average molecular weight is from 4,000 to 12,000, it has excellent feeling of use in spite of the relatively high molecular weight and causes little irritation. Further, it has excellent oxidation stability, shows high refractive index and reveals excellent gloss. Still further, cosmetics and external agents containing such a dimerdiol dicarboxylate are excellent in safety, stability, pigment dispersability, gloss and feeling of use.
Content of the above dimerdiol ester with a monocarboxylic acid having 4 to 34 carbon atoms or a dimerdiol ester with a dicarboxylic acid in the oil material of the present invention is not particularly restricted, although, as a raw material for cosmetics, it is preferably 20% or more, and more preferably 50% or more.

EXAMPLES
The following examples illustrate the present invention in more detail. These examples do not limit the scope of the present invention. All percents are by weight unless otherwise stated.
Synthesis Example 1 Production of a Dimerdiol
Into a 500 mL reaction vessel equipped with a stirrer, a thermometer and a gas-introducing tube were charged 140 g of methyl oleate, 60 g of methyl linoleate and 15 g of activated clay. After the inner air was replaced with nitrogen, the temperature was raised to 240° C. and a dimerization reaction was conducted for 6 hours. Then, the activated clay was removed by filtration and unreacted methyl ester of fatty acids were removed by distillation to obtain 134 g of dimethyl ester of dimer acids. Into a 500 mL auto clave was charged 125 g of the dimethyl ester of dimer acids thus obtained, and, thereto, 3 g of copper-chromium catalyst was added. Then, after the inner air was replaced with hydrogen, a hydrogenation was conducted at a pressure of 250 atmosphere, at 250° C. until no more hydrogen absorption was observed. For removing ether compounds and ester compounds, that is impurities, the hydrogenated product was subjected to a molecular distillation to obtain 97 g of a dimerdiol as the fraction of distillate at 237-252° C./0.1 torr. Acid value and hydroxyl value of the dimerdiol thus obtained were 0.2 and 196.0, respectively.
Example 1
Production of a Hydrogenated Rosin Dimerdiol Ester
Into a 1000 mL reaction vessel equipped with a stirrer, a thermometer and a gas-introducing tube were charged 158 g (0.46 mol) of hydrogenated rosin (KP-610, manufactured by Arakawa Chemical Industries, Ltd.) and 134 g (0.23 mol) of the dimerdiol obtained in Synthesis example 1. After the inner air was replaced with nitrogen, the temperature was raised to 240° C. and the reaction was conducted for 20 hours under a reduced pressure. After cooling, 160 g of heptane was added thereto and unreacted hydrogenated rosin was removed with an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. The resulting mixture was washed with water, and heptane, the solvent in the mixture, was distilled off to obtain 227 g of aimed hydrogenated rosin dimerdiol ester.
