Linkage by elimination/addition: a simple synthesis for a family of oligomeric alkylpyridinium surfactants.
Homologous oligomeric alkylpyridinium surfactants have been prepared by an elimination-addition reaction that is simpler to perform and easier to control than conventional synthesis or polymerization. It can be carried out in a variety of protic solvents, or performed in situ on aqueous solutions of self-assembled monomeric surfactant.
