title: Synthesis and surface-active properties of a new class of surfactants derived from D-gluconic acid.
abstract: Novel sugar-based surfactants were synthesized starting from D-gluconolactone. Three different functional groups were used to link the sugar moiety and the hydrophobic part. The physico-chemical properties for the use as adjuvant for pesticidal formulations of one of these compounds were evaluated and compared.
