Patent ID: 8541610

Claim:
A method to synthesize an organosilyl quaternary amine composition of the type CH 3 (CH a ) 11-17 (CH 3 ) 2 N + (CH 2 ) 1-6 Si(Z) 3 X − the method comprising the steps of: preparing a two-component composition, comprising: CH 3 (CH a ) 11-17 N(CH 3 ) 2 and X(CH 2 ) 1-6 Si(Z) 3 precursor materials, combined in a CH 3 (CH a ) 11-17 N(CH 3 ) 2 /X(CH 2 ) 1-6 Si(Z) 3 molar ratio of 0.85-1.5; and terminating the process at a product conversion corresponding to a yield of 45 to 65%, with respect to the limiting reagent.
