What is it about?

Triols (I) and (V) are subjected to fluoroalkylation by using racemic epoxides (II) in the presence of a strong Lewis acid to give, after deprotection, the amphiphiles (IV) and (VII) as new surfactants. In addition, the regioselectivity of the fluoroalkylation of two diols by epoxide (IIb) is investigated and appears to be considerably dependent on the catalyst used. The new amphiphiles (IV) and (VII) reveal excellent co-emulsifying properties and have very good to excellent hemocompatibility.
