The invention relates to a 1,1'-dialkyl-3,3'-(2-
phosphate-1,3-propylidene)imidazolium compound and a preparation method thereof. The
structural formula of the 1,1'-dialkyl-3,3'-(2-
phosphate-1,3-propylidene)imidazolium compound is shown in the specification, wherein n is 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14, and the
alkyl imidazole can be replaced with
alkyl benzimidazole. The 1,1'-dialkyl-3,3'-(2-
phosphate-1,3-propylidene)imidazolium is a amphoteric dimeric surfactant, and a concrete synthesis method comprises the following steps: synthesizing 1, 3-dichloro-2-
propanol, synthesizing N-
alkyl imidazole, synthesizing 1,1'-dialkyl-3,3'-(2-hydroxyl-1,3-propylidene)
imidazole hydrochloride, and synthesizing 1,1'-dialkyl-3,3'-(2-phosphate-1,3-propylidene)imidazolium. The 1,1'-dialkyl-3,3'-(2-phosphate-1,3-propylidene)imidazolium compound and the preparation method are easily available in raw materials, the reaction technology conditions are easy to control, operation is simple, the product is easy to purify, and yield is high. The compound has low
critical micelle concentration, and can be used as a
wetting agent, an emulsifier, a
foaming agent and a foam stabilizer. A molecular structure has macrocyclic cefpimizole group and phosphate ester, and thus the compound has good
thermal stability,
solubility,
salinity resistance,
temperature resistance and acid and base resistance.
