Title: Aqueous solutions of geminal alkylammonium surfactants as a medium for reactions of long-chain amines.
Authors: Mirgorodskaya, A. B.; Kudryavtseva, L. A.
Abstract: The formation of surfactant-hydrophobic amine mixed aggregates reduces the p Ka of long-chain amines by 1–1.5 units compared with those in molecular solutions and is an important factor responsible for the high catalytic effect of the system in ester bond cleavage. In aqueous solution of geminal surfactants, the rate of azomethine formation in the reaction of long-chain amines with benzaldehydes is an order-of-magnitude higher than in ethanol.
