Most members of this class of compounds are represented as exhibiting the structure:
In addition, structures of the following type may be present:
In these structures RCO represents a Fatty Acid radical; R' may be the same as R'' and can be H or a lower alkyl; X may be the same as X' and may be H or any other substituent, such as sulfosuccinyl (see Sulfosuccinates); and n may be the same as m. In the case of Type I structures belonging to this chemical class, n must be at least 2; in the case of Type II structures, n+m must be at least 3. Related compounds, in which n and m are both 1, are classified as Alkanolamides.
These polyalkoxylated amides find use as surfactants and emulsifiers. A typical representative of this group of compounds is PEG-7 Oleamide. |
