Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/je00043a036

Eight 2-(2-hydroxyethylamino) fatty acids, 2-(2-hydroxyethylamino)decanoic, -undecanoic, -dodecanoic, -tetradecanoic, -hexadecanoic, -octadecanoic, -nonadecanoic, and docosanoic acid, were synthesized by reacting 2-bromo fatty acids with more than 3 mol of 2-aminoethanol.The surface tension and the critical micelle concentration were determined for these compounds.
