Dimeric sugar‐based amphiphiles were synthesized starting from D ‐glucose and a commercial mixture of dodecyl and tetradecyl alcohols by a simple procedure. Three different spacers (glutaryl, succinyl, and terephthaloyl) were used to link the sugar moieties through O‐2 or O‐6. Dimeric compounds are composed by mixtures of homodimers (C‐12/C‐12) and heterodimers (C‐12/C‐14). The interfacial properties of these nonionic gemini surfactants are described.
