Two new cationic surfactants, N ‐(dodecanoyl(ethylammonio)carbonothioyl)‐ N ‐ethylbenzenaminium bromide and N ‐(dodecanoyl(ethylammonio)carbonothioyl)‐ N ‐ethyl‐ N ‐phenylbenzenaminium bromide were synthesized with a high yield by the reaction of appropriate amounts of lauryl chlorides, potassium thiocyanate, amine and alkyl halides. The structures were characterized by 1 H‐NMR, 13 C‐NMR, FTIR and UV–Vis spectroscopy. Cyclic, square wave and differential pulse voltammetry were used to investigate the electrochemical fate of both surfactants over a wide pH range.
