Sodium lauryl ether sulfate SLES Esterification Reaction
Sodium lauryl ether sulfate SLES Esterification Reaction:
First, lauryl alcohol and glycinate are subjected to an esterification reaction under alkaline conditions to form lauryl glycinate. This step requires efficient stirring and precise temperature control to facilitate the reaction.
Sodium lauryl ether sulfate SLES Carboxylation Reaction:
The resulting lauryl glycinate is then reacted with an oxygen oxidant to oxidize the hydroxyl group into a carboxyl group, yielding lauroyl glycine. This reaction requires maintaining the solubility of the reactants and the stability of the solution.
