Abstract
Corynomycolic acids have two hydrophilic heads (OH and COOH) and two hydrophobic tails on adjacent carbon atoms. In this work, hybrid type corynomycolic acids (syn- and anti-isomers) were synthesized via the following three steps: 1) crossed Claisen condensation of t-butyl tridecanoate with ethyl per fluorooctanoate, 2) reduction of C = O to OH, and 3) conversion of COO-t-Bu to COOH using CF3COOH. Both hydrophilic groups (OH and COOH) of hybrid corynomycolic acid would dissociate to –O– and –COO– at alkaline condition (pH = 12) while they remain unchanged at acidic condition (pH < 3). The effect of hybrid structure on the surfactant properties was investigated by the surface tension and surface pressure-area (π-A) measurements. Hybrid type corynomycolic acid gave smaller cmc and γcmc than dialkyl type one due to fluoroalkyl chain. With respect to the stereochemistry, the anti-isomer attained a smaller γcmc value than the syn-isomer. In π-A measurements, the monolayer of the syn-isomer showed a lower collapsing pressure (∼15 mN m–
1) than that of the anti-isomer.
