Reaktionsschritte

One part of ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether and 15 parts of octyl alcohol were reacted at 60° C. for 20 hours in the presence of 0.05 parts of potassium. Purification by distillation provided 1,8-bis(octyloxymethyl)-3,6-dioxaoctane-1,8-diol (boiling point 150° C./0.03 Torr) of the following formula: ##STR8## in a yield of 49%. This compound was then added to a greatly excess amount of a mixture of chlorosulfonic acid and acetic acid and reacted at room temperature for 3 hours. The resulting product was neutralized with sodium carbonate and extracted with n-butyl alcohol, obtaining a compound of the following formula: ##STR9## in a yield of 90%. This was a viscous liquid having a purity of 80% as measured by the modified Epton method which is a method for the quantitative measurement of anionic active agents.
