Abstract:
1. A process for forming a composition of matter, comprising: providing a mixture of alkylisethionates and isethionates at a molar ratio of alkylisethionates to isethionates between about 19:1 and about 1:19; reacting the mixture with a fatty acid having a carbon chain length between about 4 carbon atoms and about 25 carbon atoms, alternatively between about 6 carbon atoms and about 18 carbon atoms; and producing a water soluble composition of isethionate esters with at least 30% solubility, wherein the alkylisethionates are selected from the group consisting of sodium 2-methyl 2-hydroxyethane sulfonate, sodium 1-methyl 2-hydroxyethane sulfonate, sodium 2-ethyl 2-hydroxyethane sulfonate, sodium 1-ethyl 2-hydroxyethane sulfonate, and combinations thereof.
