Abstract
New dimeric functionalized surfactants, 3,3′-[2-(hydroxyimino)propan-1,3-diyl]bis(1-alkyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium) dichlorides (Alk = C12H25, C14H29, C16H33), underlie the supernucleophilic microorganized systems capable of abnormally fast cleavage of acyl-containing substrates. Micellar effects both of monomeric and dimeric imidazolium surfactants in the cleavage processes of 4-nitrophenyl esters of diethylphosphonic, diethylphosphoric, and 4-toluenesulfonic acids are governed mostly by the hydrophobicity of the reaction components (acceleration ∼102–103 times). The unquestionable advantage of dimeric surfactants is their especially low critical micelle concentrations (≤10−5 mol L−1), providing a possibility to attain the same micellar effects at the surfactant concentration lower by an order of magnitude (and yet even lower) than in the case of monomeric analogs.
