In acid-catalyzed acetal cyclization of long aliphatic aldehydes(R=n-C7H15 ; n-C9H19 ; n-C11H23) with 1,1,1-tris(hydroxymethyl)propane, 2-alkyl-5-hydroxymethyl-5-ethyl-1,3-dioxanes were obtained. The final products, sodium 2-alkyl-5-(sulfonatedpropylethermethyl)-5-ethyl-1,3-propanesultion in the presence of sodium hydride. These compounds were a new group of destructible surfactants which were readily hydrolyzed and oxidized in natural water reservoirs. Physical properties of these new compounds involved some surface properties such as Krafft point(Kp), critical micelle concentration(cmc), surface tension of aqueous solutions near cmc(γmin), foaming power, emulsion power and hydrolysis properties were determined. The destructible surfactants containing 1,3-dioxane ring were synthesized to about 85±5.5% yield. The cmc values of the compounds by ring method were assumed to 0.5~5.0×10-3mol/L range and surface tensions at cmc were 29.5~33.0dyne/cm respectively at 25℃. The foaming power and foam stability were 170~230mm and 52~135mm respectively at 1×10-2mol/L, foam was occurred rarely below 1×10-3mol/L. The emulsion property of liquid paraffin was better than that of soybean oil. For hydrolysis property with ph and time, these compounds were decomposed within about 200minutes at ph1~2. Hopefully these compounds are expected to be a good O/W emulsifier that have decomposability in acid and may be used in the process which do not need foaming.
