Abstract

Novel sugar-based surfactants were synthesized starting from d-gluconolactone. Three different functional groups were used to link the sugar moiety and the hydrophobic part. The physico-chemical properties for the use as adjuvant for pesticidal formulations of one of these compounds were evaluated and compared.
