Abstract
The reaction of dioxane-sulfur trioxide with hexadecene-1 and octadecene-1 carried out below 10C gave difficultly soluble sodium 2-hydroxy-1-alkanesulfonates containing smaller amounts of other vicinal position isomers.
Sulfonation of the olefins at 50C gave a mixture of isomeric vicinal sodium alkenesulfonates containing also small amounts of hydroxyalkanesulfonates, sulfo-sulfates and sultones. This higher temperature reaction product was readily soluble with good foaming and detergent properties.
