Synthesis and Properties of a Novel Bio-Based Branched Heptadecylbenzene Sulfonate Derived from Oleic Acid

Synthesis, characterization, and functional evaluation of branched dodecyl phenol polyoxyethylene ethers: a novel class of surfactants with excellent wetting properties

“…However, studies have revealed that the hydrophobic base with a branched structure show better wetting and penetrating properties than those of linear ones, even when their types and molecular sizes are comparable. [11][12][13][14][15] Sha and coworkers successfully synthesized a novel branched uorinated anionic surfactant 4-(3,3,4,4,5,5,5-heptauoro-2,2-bis-triuoromethyl-pentyl)-benzene lithium phosphonate via a four-step route by using peruoro-2-methyl-2-pentene as a starting material. 16 This branched uorinated anionic surfactant exhibits excellent surface activity, which reduces the surface tension of water to be 19.2 mN m À1 .…”
