A quaternary ammonium hydroxycarboxylate is produced by quaternizing a tertiary amine with a hydroxycarboxylic ester represented by the following Formula 1:
1
wherein R
1
to R
3
are as defined in the disclosure. By using only one tertiary amine having at least one substituent different from R
1
of the ester moiety of the hydroxycarboxylic ester and by controlling the reaction conditions, a mixture of quaternary ammonium hydroxycarboxylates having different quaternary ammonium ions is produced. By reacting an inorganic acid with the quaternary ammonium hydroxycarboxylate or its mixture, a quaternary ammonium salt of inorganic acid or its mixture is produced.
一种四价
铵羟基
羧酸盐是通过使用以下公式1:1所代表的羟基
羧酸酯与一种具有至少一个不同于羟基
羧酸酯基团的R1取代基的三级胺进行季
铵化反应而制得,其中R1至R3如本文所定义。通过仅使用一种具有至少一个不同于羟基
羧酸酯基团的R1取代基的三级胺,并控制反应条件,可以产生具有不同季
