Abstract

A one-step reaction of AIBN, sulfuric oxide and the respective alkene (1-octene, 1-decene, 1-tetradecene, and 1-hexadecene) in the medium of trifluoroacetic acid and 1,2-dichloroethane and subsequent neutralisation provided sodium salts of 2,2′-azobis(N-2′-methylpropanoyl-2-amino-alkyl-1)-sulfonates. The sulfonates obtained are anionic gemini surfactants, which ­simultaneously act as initiators of emulsion polymerisations (INISURFs).

Key words

surface-active initiator - gemini surfactants - Ritter reaction - sulfonates - ion-exchange chromatography
