CONT

Research now in progress suggests the possibility of new anionic and non-ionic detergents which will be almost completely biodegradable (linear-chain alcohols), and which will also have improved additives.

CONT

... small, rod-shaped linear-chain alcohols such as MeOH and EtOH are not as sterically demanding as the larger and more spherically shaped 2-MeTHF.

CONT

Diesters based on N-benzyloxycarbonyl-S-(2,4-dinitrophenyl) GSH (CBzGSDNP) containing linear alcohols 3 to 9, branched alcohols 10 to 20, or heteroatom linear alcohols 21 to 25, were investigated as in vitro inhibitors of pathogenic parasites.

CONT

Les études en cours permettent d'espérer de nouveaux détergents anioniques et non ioniques presque totalement biodégradables (alcools à chaîne linéaire) dont les produits d'addition seraient également améliorés.

OBS

Les premiers termes d'alcools (jusqu'à C10 en chaîne droite) et divers alcools ramifiés sont des liquides - de masse volumique inférieure à celle de l'eau - qui dégagent une odeur caractéristique, les autres termes sont des solides.
