Abstract
The synthesis and structural analysis of glucosamide surfactants of the general formula CnH2n+1NH(CH2)2NHCO(CHOH)4CH2OH (n = 8, 10, 12) are described, and the surface activity properties of the surfactants are studied. N-alkylethylenediamines were synthesized by the alkylation of the ethylenediamine with alkyl bromide. The glucosamide surfactants, N-alkyl-N′-glucosylethylenediamine (C n GA), were prepared by amidation of the precursor diamine with d-gluconic acid δ-lactone. They were structurally characterized by IR, 1H NMR and MS. They reduced the surface tension of water to approximately 26–27 mN m−1 at concentration levels of (0.5–1.6) × 10−3 mol L−1.
