Hd. Gilsing et al., NOVEL FLUORO SURFACTANTS - NEW STRATEGIES IN THE SYNTHESIS OF SURFACTANTS CONTAINING VERY LONG PERFLUORINATED ALKYL CHAINS, Tenside, surfactants, detergents, 35(4), 1998, pp. 240-247
Methods for the conversion of long-chained 2-(perfluoroalkyl)-ethanols
into new reactive intermediates and surfactants are described. The pr
oducts of acylation, phosphorylation and alkylation, which were obtain
ed in high yields, are characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy. In or
der to examine the interfacial properties of the new surfactants the s
urface tension isotherms of their aqueous solutions have been determin
ed.
