Reaction Steps

206 kg (1581.8 moles) of n-octanol were heated to 190°-210° C. together with 2.94 kg of sulfosuccinic acid (70% by weight). The water of reaction formed was distilled off. After 7 hours, 10.3 g of 50% by weight sodium hydroxide were added to the cooled reaction mixture for neutralization, after which the crude product was washed until neutral and then distilled.
