example

[0083] The following examples demonstrate one or more additional features of the disclosure previously described. It should be understood that these examples are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure or the appended claims in any way.

[0084] Experimental procedure:

[0085] Chemicals were used without further purification unless otherwise stated. Tetrahydrofuran (THF) was distilled off before use. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra were recorded on a Varian-Mercury 500 MHz spectrometer operated at ambient probe temperature. Chemical shifts δ are given in parts per million (ppm) and are referenced to an external standard tetramethylsilane (TMS).

example 1

[0086] Example 1: General procedure for the preparation of polyethylene glycol amides according to formula (IV):

[0087] Method A 1 . To a flask equipped with a Dean-Stark trap (with reflux condenser on top) was added palmitic acid (5 g, 19.49 mmol), boric acid (0.06 g, 0.97 mmol) and toluene (57 mL). To the stirred reaction mixture, a portion of n-butylamine (2.10 mL, 21.44 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was heated at reflux overnight. The mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature, and then poured into hexane with stirring, causing immediate precipitation of a solid, which was filtered off and washed with hexane to afford the desired amide (4.92 g, 15.79 mmol, 81% ).

[0088] Method B 1 .Oxalyl chloride (3.59ml) was added to a solution of palmitic acid (0.50g, 1.94mmol) in toluene (14mL) and the mixture was refluxed for 4 hours. The solvent was removed, and the residue was dissolved in toluene (10 mL). Triethylamine (3.5 mL, 25 mmol) and n-butylamine (0.57...

example 2

[0090] Example 2: General procedure for the preparation of polyethylene glycol amides according to formulas (I) and (II):

[0091] For example, according to formula (IV) (method B 1 ) from polyethylene glycol carboxylic acid (0.2 g, 0.13 mmol) and n-octylamine (0.04 mL) using oxalyl chloride (0.48 mL, 2.87 mmol) and triethylamine (0.55 mL, 3.92 mmol) as described for the amide of , 0.26 mmol) to prepare polyethylene glycol n-octylamide. Polyethylene glycol n-octylamide was obtained in 73% yield (0.16 g, 0.09 mmol).

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Application Serial No. 62 / 545,799, filed August 15, 2017, which is incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to surfactants, and in particular to the incorporation of surfactants into oil-based drilling fluids. Background technique [0004] Synthetic surfactants are important organic compounds that are widely manufactured and have many applications. The world's annual production of synthetic surfactants totals 7.2 million tons. Synthetic surfactants can be wetting agents with detergency and rinse-off properties. Wetting agents can be adapted to be combined with other types of surfactants and can resist hard water conditions. Nonionic surfactants represent approximately 40% of the total global surfactant production and are used in both commercial and household applications. Nonionic syntheti...
