Synthesis of new extended surfactants containing a xylitol polar group

  • Published:
Journal of Surfactants and Detergents

Abstract

A new class of extended surfactants was prepared in which the spacer arm between the polar portion and the hydrophobic alkyl chain was a polymer of propylene glycol with an average length of six propylene oxide units. The polar head was a single or double xylitol moiety or a xylitol molecule with carboxylic acid functionality. Surfactants containing double xylitol polar head groups showed a much higher critical micelle concentration value than surfactants with a single polar head.
