Compositions of furan based surfactants derived from unsaturated carbon-containing molecules, such as fatty acids, as well as methods for forming furan based surfactants from unsaturated carbon-containing molecules, such as fatty acids, are disclosed herein. These compositions and methods can utilize long-chain (e.g., C14-C26) unsaturated carbon-containing molecules, for instance unsaturated fatty acids such as oleic acid or methyl oleate from soybean oil, to derive oleo-furan surfactants. To facilitate this, certain such embodiments include reaction steps that cleave the reactant molecule (e.g., methyl oleate) at the double bond and subsequently oxidize products to form a carboxylic acid molecule and a dicarboxylic acid molecule. In such embodiments, these two acids can be subsequently acylated with furan and functionalized to form surfactants.
                            本文公开了由不饱和含碳分子(如
脂肪酸)衍生的
呋喃基表面活性剂的组合物,以及由不饱和含碳分子(如
脂肪酸)形成
呋喃基表面活性剂的方法。这些组合物和方法可以利用长链(如 C14-C26)不饱和含碳分子,例如不饱和
脂肪酸,如大豆油中的
油酸或
油酸甲酯,来衍生出油基
呋喃表面活性剂。为了便于实现这一点,某些此类实施方案包括在双键处裂解反应物分子(如
油酸甲酯)并随后氧化产物以形成
羧酸分子和二
羧酸分子的反应步骤。在这些实施方案中,这两种酸可随后与
呋喃酰化并官能化,形成表面活性剂。
