Glyceryl Bisether Sulfates. I: Improved Synthesis

Sparse literature outlines previous syntheses for glyceryl bisether sulfates, which, while giving rise to the desired molecules, are somewhat cumbersome and suffer from undesired by-product formation.We now report and improved synthesis of the title compounds that results in greater simplicity and reduced by-product formation.An hypothesis is advanced to explain the by-product formation. KEY WORDS: Centrally located hydrophile, epichlorohydrin, glyceryl bisether sulfate, synthesis.

Liquid-Liquid-Extraction of Metal Ions with Lariat Ethers

Lariat ethers of various ring size and substitution are synthesized and characterized by physical data and chemical analysis.The extraction behaviour of the crown compounds towards Na+, K+, Cs+ and Ag+ in a picric acid solution has been investigated.The extraction constants for 1:1 and 1:2 complexes are determined using the equilibrium distribution data.The results show that the flexible side chain in the investigated compounds has in no case a positive effect on the metal picrate extraction.
