摘要

A new surfactant 4-((4-bromophenyl)(dodecyl)amino)-4-oxobutanoic acid with a benzene spacer was synthesized via a novel copper catalyzed cross-coupling reaction. Its structure was confirmed by FTIR, H-1-NMR, C-13-NMR and HRMS; its purity was checked by HPLC. Dynamic light scattering and an atomic force microscope showed that it forms an unusual large-diameter premicellar aggregation below the CMC.
