The reaction was performed in an inert atmosphere. N,N-dimethyldecylamine (16.21 mmol, 3.7 g) and 2-bromoethyl methyl ether (16.21 mmol, 2.25 g) were mixed together in a round bottom flask. Acetone (10 mL) was added to the reaction mixture. The reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 8 hours. The solvent was removed by a rotoevaporator and remaining viscous liquid was cooled and dried. A brownish white solid was obtained as N-(2-methoxyethyl)-N,N-dimethyldecan-1-aminium bromide. By using this method other surfactants were also synthesized. Other surfactants were also synthesized by heating in dioxane at 75° C. for 10 hours instead of using acetone.
