Rfd. Jones et al., THE SYNTHESIS AND MICELLAR PROPERTIES OF A NOVEL ANIONIC SURFACTANT, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (11), 1994, pp. 1311-1312
The synthesis is described of dodecyl beta-D-glucopyranoside-6-phospha
te, a novel surfactant possessing a long-chain hydrocarbon tail and a
hydrophilic head consisting of a phosphoryl group covalently linked to
a (homochiral) glucose moiety; this compound, which forms micelles at
concentrations above 0.25 mmol dm(-3), has been successfully used in
micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography for the separation of
a variety of analytes, including enantiomers.
