A new Gemini nonionic surfactant was prepared, taking anhydrous glucose, glycol, maleic anhydride, lauric acid as main materials, and the reaction was carried out by three steps. Firstly, glycol glucoside was synthesized by the direct glycosidation of the anhydrous glucose with glycol in the presence of acidic catalyst. The synthesis and the characterization of this have been reported previously.Secondly, reaction intermediate was prepared by ring opening reaction of maleic anhydride with glycol glucoside. The last, primary hydroxyl group in glucose of reaction intermediate
was esterified with lauric acid for synthesis of target product. It was analyzed and characterized by IR, 1HNMR and
13CNMR. Besides, the critical micelle concentration (cmc) and the corresponding surface tension of the target product
were measured to be 8.87×10-3molL-1 and 20.70mNm-1 (20°C), respectively.
