New extended anionic surfactants with a carboxylate or sulfate polar head were synthesized from polypropoxylated alcohols, and their structures were confirmed by 1 H and 13 C nuclear magnetic resonance analysis. The extended surfactant critical micelle concentration was found to decrease with the length of the polypropylene glycol spacer. Surfactants containing a diethylene glycol link to the head group exhibited a higher critical micelle concentration than did their nondiethoxylated homologs.
