Sodium salts of benzyl, cyclohexyl, and phenyl esters of α‐sulfopelargonic, α‐sulfopalmitic, and α‐sulfostearic acids were prepared by reaction of the α‐sulfo acid with excess of the alcohol or phenol, in the presence of methylene chloride, carbon tetrachloride, benzene, or toluene. Synthesis from the acid chloride of the α‐sulfo acid gave lower yields of a less pure product. Melting point, surface and interfacial tension, critical micelle concentration, rate of hydrolysis and wetting, foaming and detergent properties were measured. The ring esters have properties similar to the corresponding propyl, butyl, or amyl esters.
