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

Abstract

(2-1 , Yamadaoka, Suita-shi, =565) 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.
