Highly stable and alkaline cleaning solutions and soluble surfactant

A surfactant according to Formula (I):

• wherein:
• R1 is a linear, branched, or cyclic, saturated or unsaturated aliphatic group having from 3 to 7 carbon atoms, or an aryl group having 6 or 7 carbon atoms or an alkylaryl group having 7 carbon atoms;
• R2 and R3 may be identical or different and are bivalent alkyl radicals with two to four carbon atoms;
• R4, R5, and R6 may all be identical or two of them may be identical or all may be different and are selected from the group consisting of:
• an ethyl group, 1-methylmethane group, n-propyl group, isopropyl group, n-butyl group, isobutyl group, and tert-butyl group;
• X1, X2 and X3 may all be identical or two of them may be identical or all may be different and are selected from the group consisting of:
• OH and O−Y+, wherein Y+ is a cation;
• m is 0 or 1, n is 0, 1, 2 or 3,
• wherein:
• m is 0 or 1, n is 0, 1, 2 or 3,
• and wherein
• if m=0 and R1 comprises a tertiary carbon atom attached to the nitrogen atom, then n is 1, 2 or 3;
• if n=0 and m=0 or 1, then R1 is selected from the group consisting of:
• a linear saturated aliphatic group having from 3 to 5 carbon atoms;
• a linear unsaturated aliphatic group having from 3 to 7 carbon atoms;
• a cyclic, saturated or unsaturated aliphatic group having from 3 to 7 carbon atoms;
• an aryl group having from 3 to 7 carbon atoms;
• and an alkylaryl group having from 3 to 7 carbon atoms;
• if n=1 and m=0, then either R3 is a bivalent alkyl with 3 or 4 carbon atoms or R1 is a linear or branched unsaturated aliphatic group having from 3 to 7 carbon atoms, a cyclic, saturated or unsaturated aliphatic group having from 3 to 7 carbon atoms, an aryl group having from 3 to 7 carbon atoms, or an alkylaryl group having from 3 to 7 carbon atoms.
