Abstract
Abstract A process for producing a water-soluble acid amide compound which comprises heating (a) a carboxylic acid compound having at least one carboxyl group in the molecule and being incapable of forming a 5-membered cyclic acid imide linkage and (b) a primary or secondary amine compound in an aqueous medium to introduce an acid amide linkage into the molecule.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
130 words
A process for producing a water-soluble acid amide compound which comprises heating (a) a water-soluble carboxylic acid compound having at least one carboxyl group in the molecule and being incapable of forming a 5-membered cyclic acid imide linkage under the reaction conditions and which is selected from the group consisting of a polymer of an alpha, beta-unsaturated mono-carboxylic acid; a copolymer of an alpha, beta-unsaturated monocarboxylic acid, and a monomer copolymerizable therewith; a higher fatty acid; and salts of any of the foregoing, and (b) a water-soluble primary or secondary amine compound having a hydrophilic polar group, at a reaction temperature of from 100° to 220° C. and at a pH value of from 4 to 12, in an aqueous medium to introduce an acid amide linkage into the molecule.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
130 words
A process for producing a water-soluble acid amide compound which comprises heating (a) a water-soluble carboxylic acid compound having at least one carboxyl group in the molecule and being incapable of forming a 5-membered cyclic acid imide linkage under the reaction conditions and which is selected from the group consisting of a polymer of an alpha, beta-unsaturated mono-carboxylic acid; a copolymer of an alpha, beta-unsaturated monocarboxylic acid, and a monomer copolymerizable therewith; a higher fatty acid; and salts of any of the foregoing, and (b) a water-soluble primary or secondary amine compound having a hydrophilic polar group, at a reaction temperature of from 100° to 220° C. and at a pH value of from 4 to 12, in an aqueous medium to introduce an acid amide linkage into the molecule.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
