Syntheses of surfactants from oleochemical epoxides

Sugar-based surfactants were obtained in good yields (up to 100%) under mild conditions (70°C, methanol or mixtures of methanol and water) by ring-opening of terminal epoxides with aminopolyols, derived from glucose. Reaction of N-methyl glucamine with epoxides from even-numbered C4-C18 alpha-olefin...
