Preparation and surface active properties of oxypropylated α-hydroxyacids, α-hydroxyesters and α-, β-alkane diols

A series of a-hydroxyacids RCH(OH)CO2H, α-hydroxyesters RCH(OH)CO2CH3 and α, β-alkane diols was synthetized and condensed with 5-20 moles propylene oxide to obtain nonionic surfactants. Some of the physicochemical properties and the biodegradability of these products were examined. The results showe...
