D-Xylose and L-Arabinose-based surfactants: Synthesis, reactivity and physico-chemical properties

摘要

The valorization of D-xylose and L-arabinose towards the formation of non-ionic surfactants is here described. Several processes are employed involving telomerization, glycosylation and phosphorylation reactions. Various structures of surfactants are given with respectively their amphiphilic properties.
