The present invention relates to novel tertiary alkanolamines useful as catalysts
for preparing polyurethane foams and as additives to reduce the dynamic surface
tension of aqueous solutions. The tertiary alkanolamines may be represented by
formula (I):
##STR1##
wherein A, R1-R6, and n are defined herein, and where
the tertiary alkanolamine is acid-blocked with a carboxylic acid.
