Enzymatic production of geminal cationic surfactants consists of application of ethanol type enzymes for bonding of arginine and diamine derivatives

摘要

The enzymatic production of geminal cationic surfactants comprises application of ethanol-type-media enzymes compatible with the surrounding medium. Proteases form amide bonds between alpha-N-acyl-arginine and alpha,omega-alkanodiamine in low-aqueous media. The products are of the alpha,omega-bis(N-acylarginine)-alpha,omega-alcanodiamine dichlorohydrate type.
