Regioselective synthesis of sucrose monoesters as surfactants

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/07328309708006506

A highly regioselective conversion of sucrose into 6-O-acyl derivatives is reported. First sucrose was transformed into the dibutyltin acetal, thus enhancing the nucleophilicity at the C-6 oxygen and restricting the subsequent acylation reaction. The surface activity properties of the sucrose monoesters obtained were determined and compared with those of commercially available ionic and non-ionic surfactants.
