Participants

Reaction Steps

The preparation is repeated using a 1:1:1 mole ratio of diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, and glycerin to obtain the desired approximately 1:1:1 mole ratio mixture of sodium 2-[2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethoxy]ethanesulfonate, sodium 2-{2-[2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethoxy]ethoxy}ethanesulfonate, and sodium 2-(2,3-dihydroxypropoxy)ethanesulfonate.
