Surface Activity of Oxazoline Salts Prepared from Nitroparaffins

Oxazolines. Their preparation, reactions, and applications

“…Organic acid salts of long-chain 2-oxazolines are good cationic surfactants in aqueous systems, with the lauric acid salt being superior to lactic, tartaric, or citric salts. 293 Surface active compositions containing 2-substituted-4,4substituted-2-oxazolines are used as a lubricant and freeing agent between well-drilling pipes and well solids. 294 Reaction products of long-chain 2-oxazolines and acrylic compounds have been used as their sodium salts as detergents and corrosion inhibitors.…”
