Abstract

Glucose-based nonionic surfactants having a tertiary amino group linked to C-6 of the glucose moiety were tested for the solubilization of neutral arenes viz. naphthalene, biphenyl, durene, fluorene, anthracene and phenanthrene in acidic aqueous medium and also for the basic hydrolysis of o- and p-nitrophenyl acetate and naphthyl acetate in an ethanol–water mixture. These micellar studies revealed that (6,6′-hexadecylamino)bis[6-deoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-d-gluco furanose] is the most effective surfactant for the solubilization of arenes in acidic aqueous medium and its deprotected form is the most effective for the basic hydrolysis of phenyl and naphthyl acetates.
