Background
The traditional surfactant mainly takes petroleum base as raw material, and along with the excessive exploitation of coal and petroleum resources, energy resources are gradually in shortage, which restricts the development of the surfactant industry to a certain extent. Meanwhile, the traditional petrochemical products have serious pollution to the environment, are difficult to treat three wastes, are not environment-friendly and do not meet the requirement of sustainable development. Therefore, the search for new surfactants synthesized from alternative petroleum-based materials has become a necessary trend in the development of the surfactant industry. On the other hand, surfactants are widely used in foods, cosmetics, medicines and household cleaning products, and thus the safety of surfactants is also of great concern. Therefore, the research and development of the environment-friendly low-toxicity and easily biodegradable green surfactant prepared from natural renewable products as raw materials has important significance by comprehensively considering the availability of resources, the compatibility of the environment, the development sustainability of the surfactant industry and the safety of the surfactant. Traditional surfactants are difficult to biodegrade in natural environments (such as alkylphenol ethoxylates and sodium alkylbenzenesulfonate) and have adverse effects on aquatic organisms (such as phosphate), so development of green surfactants which are environment-friendly, low in toxicity and easy to biodegrade is imperative.
Vitamin E is a natural fat-soluble antioxidant, and has wide sources and low price, and the hydrolysate is tocopherol. The natural raw material DL-alpha-tocopherol is selected as the oil-philic end of the surfactant to replace nonylphenol for the synthesis of the surfactant and the research of technological routes. The surfactant prepared from the natural raw material DL-alpha-tocopherol has very excellent performance in pesticide preparations. (Instructions on agrology, 2020,22 (2): 270-276). H.Lipshutz et al report that such surfactants also facilitate a series of coupling reactions (e.g., suzuki-Miyaura coupling, negishi cross coupling, sonogashira coupling) in water, which can greatly reduce the amount of catalyst used .(J.Org.Chem.2012,77,3143-3148;J.Am.Chem.Soc.2012,134,49,19985–19988;Angew.Chem.Int.Ed.2021,60,4158-4163).
The lipophilic end of the nonionic surfactant is natural raw material DL-alpha-tocopherol, and the hydrophilic end is polyoxyethylene ether. Another green nonionic surfactant, alkyl glycoside (APG), is sugar-terminated hydrophilic and alkyl long chain-terminated lipophilic. Zhang Juan et al report the synthesis of a non-surfactant hydrophilic bis [2- (D-glucamidyl) ethylamine (bis [2- (D-glucamidyl) ethyl ] amine, chemical progress, 2011, 30:259-262). Compared with the traditional polyol type hydrophilic groups such as glycerol, pentaerythritol and sorbitol type di [2- (D-glucosamide) ethyl ] amine, the hydrophilic groups are more hydroxyl groups and are more hydrophilic. The raw material glucono-delta-lactone is a food additive, is cheap and easy to obtain, and is environment-friendly.
Therefore, aiming at a series of problems of low safety performance, poor biodegradability, large environmental hazard and the like of the surfactant prepared by taking nonrenewable petrochemical product nonylphenol as a raw material, the development of a green surfactant taking synthetic natural products as a raw material is very necessary.
