Application

1-Bromohexadecane has been used:
  • in the preparation of soluble carbon nano-onions by covalent functionalization with hexadecyl chains
  • as extraction solvent in determination of endocrine-disrupting phenols (EDPs) in water samples by ultrasound-assisted emulsification microextraction (MS-USAEME) method
  • in the preparation of [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]dimethylhexadecylammonium bromide monomer, required for the synthesis of novel methacrylate based adsorbents
  • in the synthesis of surfactant, N-hexadecyl ethylenediamine triacetic acid (HED3A)

Herein we report the preparation of truly soluble CNOs by covalent functionalization with hexadecyl chains. These compounds are prepared in two steps: first, reduction of CNOs with a Na-K alloy in 1,2-DME under vacuum, followed by nucleophilic substitution employing 1-bromohexadecane.

A new kind of surfactant named N-hexadecyl ethylenediamine triacetic acid (HED3A) was synthesized from anhydrous ethylenediamine, 1-bromohexadecane, and chloroacetic acid. Testing showed stability of HED3A in hard water, wetting power, dispersing power, and surface tension increased along with pH value.
