Use of trifluoromethoxy- or pentafluorosulfuranyl terminal groups as hydrophobic terminal groups in surface active compounds, which are useful as e.g. surfactants, hydrophobic agents, foam stabilizers and emulsifying agents

摘要

Use of Y 1 terminal groups (I) as hydrophobic terminal groups in surface active compounds (A). Use of Y 1 terminal groups (where Y is CF 3O- or F 5S-) (I) as hydrophobic terminal groups in surface active compounds (A). Independent claims are also included for: (1) a preparation of low molecular compound (II) of formula (Y 1-Spacer-X) comprising preparing an alcohol compound of formula (Y 1-Spacer-OH) and modifying the OH-group in standard methods to give (II); (2) a preparation of trifluoromethoxy compound of formula (F 3CO-(CH 2) n-OH) comprising converting protected diols to protected monotrifluoromethoxy alcohol, followed by deprotecting and modifying the OH-group in standard methods; (3) preparation of pentafluoro sulfide compounds of formula (F 5S-(CH 2) n-X, F 5S-CH 2-CH(HalHCH 2) ( n -1 )-X, F 5S-CH=CH-(CH 2) (n - 1)-X) comprising halohydrogen elimination of X group, followed by hydration and modification of OH-group using standard methods; and (4) agent comprising (A) with (I) and suitable carriers for respective use purpose and further specific active materials. Spacer : saturated or unsaturated, branched or unbranched hydrocarbon units; X : cationic-, non-ionic-, amphoteric- or anionic polar group or a polymerizable group.
