Subject field(s)
  • Chemical Elements and Compounds
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.

  • Éléments et composés chimiques
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.
