Abstract: | A number of surface-active alkoxynaphthalenesulfonates, ROC10H6SO3Na, have been synthesized, and some of their surface properties determined. The synthesis involved a Williamson reaction
of an alkyl halide with the disodium salt of a naphtholsulfonic acid. The Krafft points, surface tension-log concentration
curves, critical micelle concentrations, and areas/ molecule at the air/liquid interface of the purified and characterized
alkoxynaphthalenesulfonates have been determined. Their surface areas/molecule indicate that the oxynaphthalenesulfonate portion
of these compounds is lying flat in the air/liquid interface with the alkyl group vertical to the plane of the naphthalene.
Their surface tension reduction efficiencies and critical micelle concentrations indicate that an α- or β-naphthoxy gruop in the hydrophobic portion of the molecule at 60 C is equivalent to about eight carbons in a straight
alkyl chain and about six carbons at 25 C. These compounds, in contrast to other surfactants without an aryl ether linkage
in the molecule, show greater efficiency and effectiveness in surface tension reduction with increase in temperature.
