Process for producing quaternary ammonium polyamino ureylene containing halohydrin functionality

Claim 1

A process for producing a quaternary ammonium compound containing halohydrin functionality and having in its molecular structure at least one quaternary nitrogen group of the formula ##STR14## where X and y are halogen, which process comprises reacting a polyaminoureylene containing at least one tertiary amine group and derived by reacting urea with a polyamine containing at least three amine groups, at least one of which is a tertiary amine group, with at least one mole of allyl halide per mole of tertiary amine present in the polyaminoureylene to quaternize the tertiary amine groups and form allyl substituted quaternary ammonium halide groups, and then reacting the resulting allyl substituted product with hypohalous acid until substantially all of the allyl substituents are converted to the corresponding halohydrin moieties.
