Abstract

A series of di(potassium 3-sulfopropyl) N-alkyl and N-acyliminodiacetates were prepared by reacting 1,3-propanesultone with the corresponding dipotassium N-alkyl and N-acyliminodiacetates, respectively. The washing ability of these products was examined alone and in combination with soap. Whereas the surfactant properties of the precursor iminodiacetates were poor, the addition of two sulfopropyl groups resulted in products with excellent lime soap dispersing power, calcium ion stability and water solubility.
