Abstract:
An amphiphilic compound of the formula (I): ##STR3## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.3 are, independently of each other, a branched or unbranched, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon radical with 1 to 22 carbon atoms;R.sup.2 is a spacer, which is an unbranched or branched alkylene chain of the formula (II):--C.sub.a H.sub.2a (II)wherein a is from 2 to 18, or an unbranched or branched alkenylene chain of the formula (III):--C.sub.b H.sub.2b --CH.dbd.CH--C.sub.c H.sub.2c -- (III)wherein b+c is from 2 to 16, where b and c are each greater than 0, or of an unbranched or branched alkynylene chain of the formula (IV):--C.sub.d H.sub.2d --C.tbd.C--C.sub.e H.sub.2e (IV)wherein d+e is from 2 to 16, where d and e are each greater than 0, and wherein in the compounds of formulae (II) to (IV), the spacer contains at any desired point in the chain additionally up to four functional side groups, comprising amino, acylamino, carbonyl, carboxyl or hydroxyl, or up to 4 rings, which are isolated or fused, or both; and X and Y are, independently of each other, substituents of the formula (XVI):--(C.sub.2 H.sub.4 O).sub..alpha. (C.sub.3 H.sub.6 O).sub..beta. H (XVI)wherein .alpha. is 0 to 50; .beta. is 0 to 60; and .alpha.+.beta. is 1 to 100; wherein R.sup.2 is not C.sub.2 H.sub.4, when .beta. is 0; and wherein with mixed alkoxides, the alkoxide units are incorporated randomly or blockwise and the sequence is arbitrary; orwherein X and Y are, independently of one another, substituents of the formula XVII:--(C.sub.2 H.sub.4 O).sub..gamma. (C.sub.3 H.sub.6 O).sub..delta. --FR (XVII)with in each case.gamma. being 0 to 20,.delta. being 0 to 20,and .gamma.+.delta. being 1 to 40,where FR is a functional radical --CH.sub.2 --COOM, --SO.sub.3 M, --P(O)(OM).sub.2, --O--C(O).dbd.C.sub.2 H.sub.3 (SO.sub.3 M)--CO.sub.2 M', or --C.sub.2 H.sub.4 --SO.sub.3 M with M, M' being alkali metal, ammonium, alkanolammonium, or 1/2 alkaline earth metal, or substituents of the formula XVIII:--CH.sub.2 (CHO)(C.sub.2 H.sub.4 O).sub..epsilon. (C.sub.3 H.sub.6 O).sub..eta. A).sub.x --CH.sub.2 --O(C.sub.2 H.sub.4 O).sub..mu. (C.sub.3 H.sub.6 O).sub..rho. --A (XVIII)wherein z is 3 to 6; .epsilon. or .mu. are 0 to 30; and .eta. or .rho. are 0 to 30; and where A is H or FR and wherein with mixed alkoxides, the alkoxide units are likewise incorporated randomly or blockwise and the sequence is arbitrary, and wherein at least one of X and Y contains the FR functional radical.
