A new method for the preparation of new heterocyclic amine surfactants based on sulfobetaines is proposed. Interfacial activities of the surfactants obtained in aqueous solution were studied by surface tension measurements. The critical micelle concentration, surface excess concentration, minimum area per surfactant molecule, and standard Gibbs energy of adsorption were determined. The adsorption properties of these compounds depend significantly on the alkyl chain length. Alkyl chain length also affects biological properties of the new surfactants, determining the minimum inhibitory concentration and size of inhibited growth zone. The compounds have high antimicrobial activity.

A micellar approach is proposed to build a series of systems featuring an "off-on-off" fluorescent window response with changes in pH. The solubilizing properties of micelles are used to self-assemble, in water, plain pyrene with lipophilized pyridine and tertiary amine moieties. Since these components are contained in the small volume of the same micelle, pyrene fluorescence is influenced by the basic moieties: protonated pyridines and free tertiary amines behave as quenchers. Accordingly, fluorescence transitions from the "off" to the "on" state, and viceversa, take place when the pH crosses the pKa values of the amine and pyridine fragments. To obtain an "off-on-off" fluorescent response in this investigation we use either a set of dibasic lipophilic molecules (containing covalently linked pyridine and tertiary amine groups) or combinations of separate, lipophilic pyridines and tertiary amines. The use of combinations of dibasic and mono-basic lipophilic molecules also gives a window-shaped fluorescence response with changes in pH: it is the highest pyridine pKa and the lowest tertiary amine pKa that determine the window limits. The pKa values of all the examined lipophilic molecules were determined in micelles, and compared with the values found for the same molecules in solvent mixtures in which they are molecularly dispersed. The effect of micellization is to significantly lower the observed protonation constants of the lipophilized species. Moreover, the more lipophilic a molecule is, the lower the observed logK value is. Accordingly, changing the substituents on the basic moieties or modifying their structure, tuning the lipophilicity of the mono- or dibases, and choosing among a large set of possible combination of lipophilized mono- and dibases have allowed us to tune, almost at will, both the width and the position along the pH axis of the obtained fluorescent window.

1,5-Pentanediol reacts with aliphatic and aromatic primary amines in the presence of a ruthenium catalyst modified with phosphonic ligands to give N-substituted piperidines in fair to goods yields.The reactions were carried out at 150-180 deg C for 5 h in dioxane.The nature of the phosphorus ligands has a remarkable effect on the catalytic activity, For the reaction of aromatic amines, triphenylphosphine is effective, while for aliphatic amine more basic tributyl- or triethylphosphine is preferable.Amines also react with diethylene glycol and N-substituted diethanolamines in the presence of the ruthenium catalyst to give N-substituted morpholines and piperazines in good yields, respectively.
