Abstract
Geminal alkylammonium surfactants containing a hexamethylene spacer show a specific behavior, namely, a catalytic effect at low concentrations of the detergent in the system. The critical micellization concentrations of these surfactants are by an order of magnitude lower than those of the related surfactants with one hydrophobic fragment. The effect exerted on the hydrolysis of carboxylic acid esters by micellar structural rearrangements induced by addition of a supporting electrolyte is determined.
