ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a process for sulfating unsaturated alcohols using inexpensive reagents and mild reaction conditions. The process comprises reacting an unsaturated alcohol of the formula R--OH, wherein R is a C.sub.8 -C.sub.22 alkenyl group, with an ether sulfate of the formula R.sup.1 (OCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2).sub.n OSO.sub.3 M, wherein R.sup.1 is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 hydrocarbyl group, n is an integer from 1 to 10, and M is an alkali metal, to form an unsaturated sulfate; said reaction being carried out in the presence of a catlaytically effective amount of an acid catalyst. The mole ratio of unsaturated alcohol reactant to ether sulfate ranges from about 0.5:1 to about 2:1. In this process the sulfation occurs primarily at the hydroxyl group of the unsaturated alcohol, with minimal sulfation at the olefinic moiety of said alcohol.
