N,N-dimethyldecan-1-amine

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: The reaction was performed in an inert atmosphere. N,N-dimethyldecylamine (16.21 mmol, 3.7 g) and 2-bromoethyl methyl ether (16.21 mmol, 2.25 g) were mixed together in a round bottom flask. Acetone (10 mL) was added to the reaction mixture. The reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 8 hours. The solvent was removed by a rotoevaporator and remaining viscous liquid was cooled and dried. A brownish white solid was obtained as N-(2-methoxyethyl)-N,N-dimethyldecan-1-aminium bromide. By using this method other surfactants were also synthesized. Other surfactants were also synthesized by heating in dioxane at 75° C. for 10 hours instead of using acetone. The reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 8 hours The solvent was removed by a rotoevaporator was cooled dried

Conditions: temp:75.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: The reaction was performed in an inert atmosphere. N,N-dimethyldecylamine (16.21 mmol, 3.7 g) and 2-methoxyethyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate (16.21 mmol, 3.71 g) prepared in the previous step were mixed together in a round bottom flask. Dioxane (10 mL) was added to the reaction mixture. The reaction mixture was heated at 75° C. for 18 hours. The solvent was removed by a rotoevaporator, and the remaining viscous liquid was cooled and dried. A white solid was obtained as N-(2-methoxyethyl)-N,N-dimethyldecan-1-aminium 4-methylbenzenesulfonate. The reaction was also performed in absence of any solvent and the desired product was obtained in quantitative yield. Similarly other surfactants were synthesized following the above-mentioned method. were mixed together in a round bottom flask The solvent was removed by a rotoevaporator the remaining viscous liquid was cooled dried

Procedure: Into a 1000 mL, round-bottomed flask equipped with air condensers and a magnetic stirring plate was charged N,N-dimethyldecylamine (200.0 grams, 1.08 moles), 1-bromo-3-chloropropane (170 grams, 1.08 moles) and methanol (200 mL). The reaction was maintained at 65° C. for 18 hours. Solvent was removed by rotary evaporation under reduced pressure and furthermore with high vacuum distillation to yield brown oil. The oil was placed in a beaker and stirred with hexane/t-butylmethylether 1:1 solution (400 mL) causing a white precipitate The solids were collected by vacuum filtration. Solids were dried in a vacuum oven at 30° C. overnight. Yield 305.0 grams (0.089 moles, 82%).

Procedure: 4-Vinylbenzyl chloride (18.60 g, 100 mmol) and N,N-dimethyl-N-decylamine (15.26 g, 100 mmol) were mixed in a 100 mL round bottomed flask. The mixture was allowed to sit overnight. The crystalline product was crushed and washed with ether. The product was collected by filtration (30.3 g, 90%) The crystalline product was crushed washed with ether The product was collected by filtration (30.3 g, 90%)
