Abstract

An efficient method for the synthesis of long chain 2-alkyl-1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-imidazolines, and their amide precursors, by condensing aminoethylethanolamine and several fatty acids under non-solvent microwave irradiation using CaO as support, is described. Products were obtained in good yields and high purity in a few minutes, in both multimode microwave and monomode microwave oven. Evidences of non-thermal microwave effects are given.
