Effect of cationic gemini surfactants on the hydrolysis of carboxylate and phosphate esters using hydroxamate ions

Oxime functionality in surfactant self-assembly: An overview on combating toxicity of organophosphates

“…A simple and straightforward method for the detoxification of OPCs involves their reactions with α-nucleophiles. Different α-nucleophiles like hydroxamic acid [26][27], o-iodosyl carboxylates [28][29], hydroxyl benzotriazoles [30][31], hydroxylamine [32][33], hydrazine [34], and hypochlorite [35] have been used to detoxify OPCs and nerve agents.…”

Synthesis and Characterization of Highly Fluorinated Gemini Pyridinium Surfactants

“…Other labs have reported that gemini pyridinium surfactants substantially enhance the kinetic rate of hydrolysis of organophosphoric esters in water, giving better results than alkylammonium gemini surfactants. [12] Among the surfactant structures for which biological activity or compatibility were demonstrated, those having a fluorocarbon moiety are emerging. [13] Fluorinated surfactants have been shown to be less toxic towards cells in culture and to have a lower haemolytic activity compared to their hydrocarbon analogues and tend to self-assemble more easily and to form better organized and more stable systems than their hydrocarbon counterparts.…”

The use of optically active O-alkyl ester hydrochlorides of L-phenylalanine and L-tyrosine as chiral micellar media for the catalysis of diels-alder reactions

“…The use of surfactants in assisting a variety of organic reactions is highly promising for basic and applied research [10,11]. Micelle forming surfactants have been widely used as reaction medium for many important organic reactions since micelles form organized assemblies that affect the rates of chemical reactions and the position of chemical equilibrium [12,13].…”
