Alkyl sulfates compounds

The detergent range alcohols and their derivatives have a wide variety of uses ia consumer and iadustrial products either because of surface-active properties, or as a means of iatroduciag a long chain moiety iato a chemical compound. The major use is as surfactants (qv) ia detergents and cleaning products. Only a small amount of the alcohol is used as-is rather most is used as derivatives such as the poly(oxyethylene) ethers and the sulfated ethers, the alkyl sulfates, and the esters of other acids, eg, phosphoric acid and monocarboxyhc and dicarboxyhc acids. Major use areas are given ia Table 11. 

The solubihty characteristics of sodium acyl isethionates allow them to be used in synthetic detergent (syndet) bars. Complex blends of an isethionate and various soaps, free fatty acids, and small amounts of other surfactants reportedly are essentially nonirritant skin cleansers (66). As a rule, the more detersive surfactants, for example alkyl sulfates, a-olefin sulfonates, and alkylaryl sulfonates, are used in limited amounts in skin cleansers. Most skin cleansers are compounded to leave an emollient residue on the skin after rinsing with water. Free fatty acids, alkyl betaines, and some compatible cationic or quaternary compounds have been found to be especially useful. A mildly acidic environment on the skin helps control the growth of resident microbial species. Detergent-based skin cleansers can be formulated with abrasives to remove scaly or hard-to-remove materials from the skin. 

Caffeine (128) and dimethyl sulfate in nitrobenzene give the fully methylated dioxo compound 129. In the same way that 2,4-dialk-oxypyrimidines give unstable quaternary salts which decompose to the N-alkyl oxo compounds even at room temperature, the action of... 

Alkylation of compound 2 has been confirmed at position 1 as predicted for methylation (dimethyl sulfate) and ethylation (triethyloxonium fluoroborate) (93T4307), and in the simple case of compound 193 (94AJC1009), and in the compound 194 (82MI1). The ylide 195 (84JCS(P1)1891) is substituted at position 3.

Figure 15. Relative removal of dibenzothiophenes and benzothiophenes from the middle-distillate cut of OB oil in the presence (left frame) and absence (right frame) of sulfate. Compounds are ranked in order of their relative depletion. Bars with solid and hatched lines represent the sum of the results for alkylated compounds with n pendant carbons, with CO indicating the unalkylated parent open bars in the left frame represent individual dibenzothiophenes. In the right frame, the bars represent sum of alkylated analogs for each carbon number. Figure reproduced from Ref. [86],...

CnH2n+i-0-(CH2-CH2-0)x-S03 now could be observed as [M + NH4]+ ions at a RTof 3.8-5.0 min. Signal intensity was quite low but a wide range of alkyl ethoxylated sulfate compounds, starting at m/z 372 and ending at 680 and AES ammonium adduct ions with 3-10 EO units were recorded. With an elevated intensity as observed under APCI(+) ionisation, the [M + NH4]+ions of the non-ionics AEhomologue mixture were observed in Fig. 2.5.11(b) at a RT of 7-10 min. 

At the end of the 1990s statistics show that the non-ionic surfactants achieved the highest growth in production rates world-wide, though anionic surfactants (anionics) maintained the dominant position in the surfactant market. Today they are produced in a larger variety by the petrochemical industry than all other types of surfactants. Their production spectrum covers alkyl sulfates (ASs), secondary alkane sulfonates (SASs) and aryl sulfonates and carboxylates via derivatives of partly fluorinated or perfluorinated alkyl surfactants to compounds with an alkylpolyglycolether substructure combined with an anionic moiety such as alkylether sulfates (AESs), phosphates, phosphonates or carboxylates. 

The commercial AES mixture contains up to 20% of non-ethoxylated compounds and alkyl sulfates (AS). AS is also applied as a main... 

Another possibility of transforming indirectly alcohols into alkyllithium compounds consists in nsing the corresponding sulfates. Alkyl sulfates 60 were lithiated using naphthalene (4%) as the electron carrier catalyst in THF at —78 °C yielding two equivalents of the corresponding alkyllithinm 61. Further addition of an electrophile at —78 to 0°C led to the formation, after hydrolysis, of the final prodncts 20 (Scheme 22) ... 

The metalated hydrazones are alkylated by alkyl halides, dialkyl sulfates or alkyl sulfonates at low temperatures in tetrahydrofuran (—95°C) or diethyl ether (— 110°C) to form the a-sub-stituted hydrazones in nearly quantitative yields. The ambident azaenolates react exclusively at the C-terminus side products resulting from N-, di-, or polyalkylation are not observed. The crude alkylated hydrazones can be purified by distillation or silica gel chromatography (diethyl ether/pentane) without epimerization. However, in most cases, they are pure enough to be directly cleaved to the desired alkylated carbonyl compound. 

The composition data obtained for the series of mixed fatty acid-potassium soap systems, prepared by both the ethanol and petroleum ether routes, lend strong support to the formation of 1 to 1 acid-soap complexes. It is of interest to inquire into the phase relationships in these two-component systems. A phase diagram presented by McBain and Field (15) for the lauric acid-potassium laurate system shows that compound formation takes place between the two components at the 1 to 1 molar ratio, but the compound undergoes melting with decomposition at 91.3 °C. [A similar type of phase behavior has been reported by us for the sodium alkyl sulfate-alkyl alcohol (9) and sodium alkyl sulfonate-alkyl alcohol (12) systems, but in these cases the stoichiometry is 2 to 1]. 

To test whether Equation 6 is valid for alkyl sulfate, phosphonate, and carboxyl films, Equation 8 was applied to the desorption data of these compounds. If the logarithm of k8 is plotted against 7r, the slope of... 

Of the three main types of surfactants, the anionics are by far the most commercially important class, constituting, in particular, the major surfactant type represented in laundry and hand-dishwashing detergents. Among the anionics, linear sodium alky] benzene sul-fonaie (LAS), linear alkyl sulfates, and linear alkyl ethoxy sulfates are by far the most widely used compounds. (The industry convened voluntarily to linear alkyl chains in the mid-1960s to obtain improved biodegradabilily relative to the branched chain alkylates formerly used.)... 

In the anionic class, the most used compounds are linear alkylbenzene sulfonates from petroleum and alkyl sulfates from animal and vegetable fats. The straight-chain paraffins or olefins needed are produced from petroleum.
