Short branched alkyl polyoxypropylene sulfates, sodium isohexyl polyoxypropylene sulfate (i-HPS) and sodium isooctyl polyoxypropylene sulfate (i-OPS) were synthetized via propoxylation, sulfation, and neutralization three-step reactions, and characterized by FT-IR and 1H NMR. Their Krafft points were measured and the results were all below freezing point. Their critical micelle concentrations (cmc) and minimum surface tension (γcmc) determined by equilibrium surface tension were 54.74 mmol L-1 and 32.12 mN m- 1 for i-HPS, 15.57 mmol L-1 and 33.33 mN m-1 for i-OPS, respectively. The measurement of dynamic surface tension indicated that both the equilibrium values of surface tension and the time required for reaching the equilibrium decreased with the increasing concentration of surfactant solutions. The spreading ability on paraffin film researched through dynamic contact angle revealed that the droplet of i-HPS solution presented a minimum contact angle of 58.9°at a concentration of 150 mmol L-1, while the equilibrium contact angle of i-OPS droplet was 52.8°under the same condition. Their salt tolerance measurement showed that 1.0 wt% i-HPS solution and 1.0 wt% i-OPS solution could endure 183.1 g L-1, 143.9 g L-1 NaCl, 206.3 g L-1, 198.4 g L-1 MgCl2, and 229.7 g L- 1, 217.9 g L-1 CaCl2, respectively.
Topical mosquito repellents VII: Alkyl triethylene glycol monoethers

Normal and branched chain aliphatic monoethers of triethylene glycol are effective topical mosquito repellents. In terms of duration of protection, they are generally superior to the corresponding diethylene glycol analogs, and some are superior to diethyltoluamide. The n heptyl monoether of triethylene glycol affords double the protection time of diethyltoluamide under controlled laboratory conditions, and appears to be a useful new mosquito repellent.
