Abstract
Abstract A process for manufacturing alkyloligoglycosides. Alkyloligoglycosides nand alkylglycosides having alkyl groups with 8 to 24 carbon atoms, which are of interest in home economics and in the cosmetics industry, can be manufactured by glycosidation and transglycosidation. Light-colored alkyloligoglycosides and alkylglycosides are manufactured from saccharides and alcohols by glycosidation and transglycosidation with the addition of salts of inorganic acids, or polybasic saturated carboxylic acids, and by bleaching of the final products with peroxides.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
156 words
A process for manufacturing light-colored alkyloligoglycosides and alkylglycosides having C 8-24 alkyl groups from saccharides and alcohols, comprising the steps of: (i) reacting at least one saccharide with a C 1-6 alcohol to prepare a C 1-6 alkylglycoside or alkyloligoglycoside; (ii) reacting said C 1-6 alkylglycoside or alkyloligoglycoside with a C 8-24 alcohol at an elevated temperature of 80° to 140° C. and in the presence of an acid catalyst, wherein a complex-forming agent selected from the group consisting of alkali salts of phosphoric acid, polyphosphoric acid, hydrofluoric acid, and hydrocyanic acid and polybasic saturated carboxylic acids, an alkali salt thereof of a methyl or ethyl ester thereof is present during one or both of steps (i) and (ii), to produce a product solution containing said C 8-24 alkyloligoglycoside or alkylglycoside; (iii) separating said C 8-24 alkyloligoglycoside or alkylglycoside from said product solution; and (iv) bleaching said C 8-24 alkyloligoglycoside or alkylglycoside with a peroxide compound.
