Abstract
A method of making a mono-ether of an isohexide and art assemblage of novel. Song-chain isohexide mono-ethers are described. In particular, the method involves reacting an isohexide stereoisomer with a Bronsted base and an alkyl species. The resultant mono-ethers can serve as attractive antecedents or chemical scaffolds for making a derivative compound, such as various amphiphiles with potential uses as surfactants, dispersants, and lubricants, among others.
Claims2
An isohexide mono-ether comprising:
- wherein when said isohexide is either isomannide or isoiodide “n” is an integer from 0 to 23, and when said isohexide is isosorbide “n” is an integer from 6 to 9, and 11 to 23.
