[Synthesis of phosphobetaine--a derivative of long-chain tertiary aliphatic amine with epichlorohydrin]

Abstract

Synthesis of a new surface active agent, a phosphobetaine derivative of tertiary amines with C12-22 long chains and sodium 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl phosphate has been elaborated. The reactants were applied at the molar ratio of 1:1.3. The obtained compounds was found to possess high surfactant and antimicrobial activities.
