Dumas and Peligot then showed that ethalf discovered by Chevreul (see p. 249), is an alcohol C H + H 0 (CnHasOH), cetyl alcohol, containing the radicd cetene C H. The discovery of two new alcohols suggested a whole series of these which would subsequently be discovered. 

The reaction of olefin sulfation and its possibilities has been extensively studied [3-10] and it was used to produce alcohol sulfates. Dry distillation of spermaceti gives palmitic acid and cetene-1, which can be sulfated with sulfuric acid to give cetyl-2 sulfate [11]. Other surfactants were obtained from olefins produced from natural substances, such as alcohol sulfates by sulfation of olefins from decarboxylation of oleic acid [12], by sulfation of olefins made by dehydrating hydroabietyl alcohol, by direct sulfation of abietyl alcohol [13,14], or by sulfation of natural terpenes [15].
