Bis-Gluconamides andbis-Lactobionamides Novel α,ω)-Type (Bolaform) Surfactants with Two Sugar Head Groups

Abstract
A new family of bolaform surfactants with sugar head groups is described. The bis-gluconamides and bis-lactobionamides were obtained in excellent yield in a new route by action of a diamine HN2-CnH2n-NH2 (n = 6–12) on either delta-gluconolactone or lactobionic acid.
