Studies on the Gemini Type Amphipathic Surfactants(3);Synthesis of Amphipathic Compound with Two Sulfate Groups and Two Lipophilic Alkyl Chains
Novel type surfactants containing two long-chain hydrophobic alkyl groups and two hydrophilic sulfonate groups were successfully synthesized by reactions of ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether with long-chain fatty alcohols, after then by reactions with 1,3-propane sultone and sodium hydride under THF solvent. All these compounds, so called Gemini surfactants, were purified by thin layer chromatography and column chromatography. Their structures were identified by FT-IR and 1H-NMR.
