Summary
A number of N-alkyl-d-gluconamides and a rosin substitutedd-gluconamide were prepared in good yield by reacting long chain fatty amines and rosin amine withd-glucono-delta-lactone. Reaction of these compounds with chlorosulfonic acid yielded sulfates of various degrees of substitution whose sodium salts exhibited marked surface active properties. Soil-removal tests with cotton fabric showed several of these products to be effective detergents in hard water.
