Naturally Derived Silicone Surfactants Based on Saccharides and Cysteamine.


ABSTRACT: Silicone surfactants are widely used in many industries and mostly rely on poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) as the hydrophile. This can be disadvantageous because commercial PEG examples vary significantly in polydispersity-constraining control over surface activity of the surfactant-and there are environmental concerns associated with PEG. Herein, we report a three-step synthetic method for the preparation of saccharide-silicone surfactants using the natural linker, cysteamine, and saccharide lactones. The Piers-Rubinsztajn plus thiol-ene plus amidation process is attractive for several reasons: if employed in the correct synthetic order, it allows for precise tailoring of both hydrophobe and hydrophile; it permits the ready utilization of natural hydrophiles cysteamine and saccharides in combination with silicones, which have significantly better environmental profiles than PEG; and the products exhibit interesting surface activities.
