In continuation of work reported a year ago describing branched chain fatty acids, a series of monosodium methyl 2‐sulfo‐2‐alkylalkanoates [RR'C (SO 3 Na) CO 2 CH 3 ] were synthesized. The surface active properties of these compounds were evaluated and compared with the corresponding disodium 2‐sulfo‐2‐alkylalkanoates [RR'C (SO 3 Na)CO 2 Na]. Alkaline hydrolysis rates show that the sodium methyl esters are stable. Relative to the disodium salts, these compounds exhibit better wetting properties and more stable foams.
