Bivalent Copper Ion Complex of a Novel Anionic Surfactant Having Functional Imidazole and Hydroxyl Groups as a Remarkably Active Model of Hydrolytic Metalloenzymes

Abstract
A novel anionic surfactant having functional imidazole and hydroxyl groups, Sodium N-dodecyl-2,5-dihydroxymethyl-4-(2-thiomethylethanesulfonate)imidazole, was synthesized. This surfactant was found to be remarkably active in the acyl transfer reactions of p-nitrophenyl picolinate in the presence of Cu2+ ion under micellar conditions.
