Modification of the molecular structure of surfactants is an effective method for exploring their self-assembly. A double-tailed quaternary ammonium surfactant with a protrudent head group, namely 2-octyldecyltrimethylammonium bromide (2-ODTAB) was synthesized, and the solution properties were investigated by surface tension, dynamic light scattering, and cryogenic TEM. A comparative study was also performed on the traditional double-tailed homologue surfactants dioctyldimethylammonium bromide (8-8), didecyldimethylammonium bromide (10-10), and didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (12-12). The results showed that 2-ODTAB was more effective at lowering surface tension and in forming stable vesicles than traditional double-tailed surfactants with similar alkyl chain length. The reason is attributed to the improved structure of 2-ODTAB, in which the two alkyl tails are connected to the ionic head group by one carbon atom. This structure imparts more freedom to the head group and thus favors formation of more stable aggregates at low concentration. In addition, the lower limit of the alkyl chain length of the double-tailed surfactants for forming stable vesicles was illustrated.

The use of mono-substituted malonic acid half oxyesters (SMAHOs) has been hampered by the sporadic references describing their preparation. An evaluation of different approaches has been achieved, allowing to define the best strategies to introduce diversity on both the malonic position and the ester function. A classical alkylation step of a malonate by an alkyl halide followed by a monosaponification gave access to reagents bearing different substituents at the malonic position, including functionalized derivatives. On the other hand, the development of a monoesterification step of a substituted malonic acid derivative proved to be the best entry for diversity at the ester function, rather than the use of an intermediate Meldrum acid. Both these transformations are characterized by their simplicity and efficiency, allowing a straightforward access to SMAHOs from cheap starting materials.

The first example of direct C–H bond monofluoroalkylation with 1-fluoro-1-haloalkanes with no adjacent functional groups and with β-hydrogens has been developed. This transformation offers a straightforward route for the synthesis of a series of monofluoroalkylated benzoxazoles.
