Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing fatty acid alkanol amides by reacting at least one amine that contains at least one primary or secondary amino group and at least one hydroxyl group with at least one fatty acid to form an ammonium salt, said ammonium salt being subsequently converted into the alkanol amide by means of microwave radiation.
