Surface Active Properties of New Types of Amphipathic Compounds with Two Hydrophilic Ionic Groups and Two Lipophilic Alkyl Chains

Abstract

Disodium 1, 8-bis (alkyloxymethyl) -3, 6-dioxaoctane-1, 8-disulfates and disodium 5, 12-bis (alkyloxymethyl) - 4, 7, 10, 13-tetraoxahexadecane-1, 16-disulfonates (alkyl ; octyl or decyl) were prepared from 1, 8-bis (alkyloxymethyl) -3, 6-dioxaoctane-1, 8-diols obtained by reactions of ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether with octyl or decyl alcohol. These new types of compounds showed excellent surface active properties in water.
