Each of the two hydroxyl groups of isosorbide can be alkylated selectively, either by direct alkylation with benzyl chloride or allyl bromide according to the reaction conditions, or by a three-step procedure involving selective monoacetylation, alkylation with four different reagents, and finally deacetylation. Monobutyl and monomethyl derivatives from isosorbide are also described.

A method of making a mono-ether of an isohexide and art assemblage of novel. Song-chain isohexide mono-ethers are described. In particular, the method involves reacting an isohexide stereoisomer with a Bronsted base and an alkyl species. The resultant mono-ethers can serve as attractive antecedents or chemical scaffolds for making a derivative compound, such as various amphiphiles with potential uses as surfactants, dispersants, and lubricants, among others.
