Alkyl β‐bromoalkyl ether derivatives (I) (isomeric mixture) were prepared by the bromoalkoxylation reaction of olefins with N ‐bromosuccinimide (NBS) and appropriate alcohols. A series of nonionic surfactants was obtained by the reaction of I with glycols or ethanolamines. The distribution of two isomers (Markovnikov‐type and anti‐Markovnikov‐type) in products was found to be slightly different from that in the starting material (I). Surface properties of several nonionic surfactants, which were prepared from I, were presented and discussed based on the difference in the structures.
