A series of dialkyl disulfide surfactants were prepared by the reaction of different aliphatic amines with S-acetylmercaptosuccinic anhydride followed by the oxidation with iodine. Selective destruction of the vesicles formed by the above surfactants were successfully performed by the reductive. cleavage of dialkyl disulfide to its monoalkyl thiol surfactants with various mercaptans.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
