Editorial Reviews

Authors from Akzo, Sherex, and Ethyl chemical companies present a comprehensive review of cationic surfactants, emphasizing the organic chemistry aspects. They discuss the preparation, properties, availability, and commercial uses of a wide range of these materials, including aromatic and cyclic varieties; petrochemical routes in both commercial and laboratory syntheses; varieties derived from nitriles, including primary, secondary, and tertiary amines; the synthesis and reactions of surface-active ammonium compounds whose nitrogen atom carrying the positive charge is part of the heterocyclic ring; and the production and use of amine oxides or N-oxides of tertiary amines.
