Abstract: | New sulfated and sulfonated cholesterol amphiphiles were synthesized and characterized by dynamic light scattering and electron microscopy. The surfactants form micelles with diameters up to 30 nm. Their critical micelle concentration values were determined by conductometry and photometric measurements. Use of the new amphiphiles enables the transfer of an asymmetric hydrogenation reaction into aqueous solution by keeping the activity and increasing the enantioselectivity. Interesting liquid-crystalline behaviour was observed. Received: 7 July 1999 /Accepted in revised form: 5 November 1999 |
