A capillary electrophoresis study of the synthesis and stability of 1,2-decanedisulfate, 1-hydroxy-2-decanesulfate, and 2-hydroxy-1-decanesulfate

摘要

Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) was used to study the preparation of 1,2-decanedisulfate from 1,2-decanediol and determine the stability of the two-headed surfactant and the corresponding hydroxydecanesulfates under both acidic and basic conditions. The optimum buffer for the CZE determination was found to be diethylbarbiturate. Resolution of the hydroxydecanesulfate constitutional isomers was facilitated by the addition of magnesium ions. Decanedisulfate was stable in base but hydrolyzed in acid. The hydroxysulfates hydrolyzed much more rapidly, and in both acid and base. Mechanisms were postulated based on differential rates of formation and hydrolysis of the hydroxydecanesulfate constitutional isomers. [References: 20]
