Abstract

N-alkyl glycosides were found capable of solubilizing chlorinated oils into microemulsions. Interestingly, ternary systems with such polar oils frequently applied in organic syntheses show a temperature dependent phase inversion within the experimental window, which is absent with n-alkanes as oil-component. For comparison the utility of the well-known class of n-alkyl polyglycolethers is also examined. The investigations show important differences, though, in the variation of the phase behavior whether the ‘hydrophobicity’ of the oil is changed by variation of the hydrocarbon chain length or by varying the polarity. In addition, our studies point out variations of the Krafft-boundary in the glyco-surfactant systems by the addition of different chlorinated hydrocarbons. In a set of preliminary reaction experiments in these ternary microemulsions the epoxidation of olefins with manganese-dihydrosalen-catalysts is studied.
