Abstract

A process for preparing linearly-extended polyalkylenepolyamines, such as linear and branched polyethylenepolyamines, comprising contacting a difunctional aliphatic alcohol, such as monoethanolamine, with a reactant amine, such as ethylenediamine, in the presence of a catalyst containing tungsten oxide essentially free of the metals of Groups VIII, IB, and IIB of the Periodic Table. Included among the linearly-extended polyalkylenepolyamines are alcohol-extended piperazines, such as N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-piperazine, and amine-extended piperazines, such as N-(2-aminoethyl)piperazine.
