2‐Alkoxy‐N,N‐dimethylethylamines (1) were prepared from the reaction of alkyl chlorides with 2‐dimethylaminoethanol in the presence of potassium hydroxide. Amine oxide surfactants 2 were prepared by oxidation of 1 with hydrogen peroxide. The surfactants 2 were good foam stabilizers and stable up to 100 C, but decomposed rapidly to vinyl ethers at 150 C.
