Mjl. Castro et al., Synthesis of new dimeric amphiphiles. Influence of anomeric configuration and spacer functionality on interfacial properties, J CARB CHEM, 19(9), 2000, pp. 1175-1184
The synthesis of new dimeric carbohydrate-based surfactants was performed c
onnecting two butyl glucopyranosides with a spacer through ester and ether
linkages. Critical micellar concentrations were determined to study the inf
luence of anomeric configuration and spacer functionality on surfactant pro
perties.
