Solubilization of Insoluble Organic Liquids by Detergents J-4.IRIES W.I\IcB,IIN .AND PaicTLH. RICHARDS Stanford University, Calif.

Solubilization is attributed to incorporation of the insoluble substance \+ ithin and upon the colloidal particles o r micelles of the soap or detergent. Although many instances of this action hale been reported, this is the first attempt at a systematic investigation of the characteristics of an insoluble organic substance that determine the ertent to which it is solubilized. 4 number of cation-actile and anion-actile detergents hale been used with a series of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, in addition to a number of polar compounds. Substances of Fery low inolecular weight are freely solubilized, but the extent of solubilization falls off rapidly with increase in molecular weight or molar volume. Polar compounds arc more readily solubilized than hydrocarbons. .\lthough, in general, the various detergents show parallel behavior, merely differing in degree of solubilizing power, and the cation-active detergents are generally better solubilizers than the anion-active detergents, there are numerous specificities and influences of structure, both of the detergent and of the material being solubilized. Soaps and detergents that have in common the twelve-carbon paraffin chain differ greatly in solubilizing power, each favoring particular classes of chemical substances.

T

HE remarkable phenomenon of solubilization ( 3 )consists in the taking up, by even very dilute solutions of soaps and detergents, substances yhich are otherwise insoluble or very slightly soluble in the solvent medium. Indeed, it is probable that any substance can be made soluble in any medium by the use of a suitable solubilizing agent. The solubilized material is in solution in the sense that it is not present as suspended or protected particles or emulsified droplets, b u t is incorporated in the colloidal particles of the detergent itself. It is therefore in solution in the same sense that the soap itself is in solution. At least a portion of the solubilized material has been shown by x-ray examination (1, 2, 6) t o be present in layers within the lamellar micelles of the detergent.

‘1s soon as tlit. wtur:ttion valuc lor solubilization is exceeded, of the rolubilizcd material appears as suspended particles or droplets of cmul.ion and causes a steep rise in turbidity. At the suggestion of one of the authors (liiehartls), this point of sharp increayc, in turbidity 1x1s been used as an indicator for the maximum amount of n given material that can he solubilized by a given detergent qolution a t a given tempomtiire and concentration. This communication contains the first systematic survcy of the amount of solubilization of different organic liquids as depending upon such factors as molecular weight and structural and chemical composition. Decinormal aqueous solutions of sodium oleate, potassium laurate, and cation-active dodecylamine hydrochloride hare been used wit,h all the organic liquids. -4number of rneusurements n.ith other synthetic detergents, Gardinol K.1 new, concentrated (containing sodium lauryl sulfate and salts), and the ration-active Emulsol 607L and cetyl pyridinium chloride have also been included. !lost of the results follow general rules, but a few specific relations also appear. BIATERIALS AND hIETHOD

1)odecj-laiiiinc hydrochloride was prepared from a fairly pure dodecylamine obtained from Xrmour & Company, and was twice recrystallized from ethyl alcohol and washed with ether. Sodium oleate was prepared from Kahlbaum’s ‘(pure” oleic acid, and a 10% solution in acetone was cooled t o -20” C. to precipitate out linoleic acid. Oleic acid ivas recovered from the filtrate and converted by carbonate-free sodium hydroxide to sodium oleate. Potaspiurn lsuvate v a s a Kahlbaum preparation, rectified and purified by 11. E. L. hIcRain. Emulsol 607L was a purified specimen and was the lauryl ester of a-alanine hydrochloride supplied by the Emul9ol Corporation. Cetyl pyridinium chloride was used as purified and supplied by the Wm. 8. llerreu Company. Gardinol WT‘X new, cone., was used as supplied by the Sational Aniline &: Chemical Company; unlike the others, the active substance, sodium lauryl sulfate, may be only one third of the total weight, and salt,? are present.

carbons. (There is a negative effect for nitrogen-containing compounds.) This is especially marked for those of low moleculhr weight, such as methyl tert-butyl ether, methyl isobutyl ketone, and amyl acetate. However, here, too, differences in configuration are important. Two compounds with eight carbon atoms and one oxygen are 2-ethylhexanol and n-octyl alcohol, and of these the former is solubilized t,o tn-ice the extent of the latter. These numbers have been, perhaps arbitrarily, corrected for natural solubility in water. S o simple relation has yet appeared between any single property of solubilized material and the extent t o which it is solubilized by a given detergent. Solubilization appears to fall off a t first linearly with molar volume and then to fall more slowly and a.ymtotically to zero for the higher members. However, closer examination shows that molecular volume may exert more influence than molecular I-ieight. This is illustrated in Table V n-here hydrocarbons of iderit ical molecular wright but different structure are conipnretl. It i.q evident, that a branched chain can be solubilized to a greater extent than the straight chain of the same molecular might. However, molecular volume of itself does uot determine solubilization. Table I? compares groups of substances of similar molecular volume and s h o w that their degree of solubilization may differ greatly. The extent of solubilization of an organic chemical depends not only upon lox molecular weight, upon molecular volume, upon structure, and upon the presence or nature or position of any polar groups, but also sometimes upon a

rates strongly against solubilization. Substances of high riiolixu!ar neight are scarcely solubilized; n-hereas all the compounds of low molecular weight so far investigated are freely solubilized. As an example, dodecylamine hydrochloride solubilizes the hydrocarbons with six carbon atoms to the extent of 0.75 mole of hydrocarbon per niolc of detergent; niethglcyclopentane differs :n being as lovi as 0.40 n-hile %yclohexane is high, 0.87 mole pel mole, an indication that configuration likewise has a decided influence. Steric effects must interfere n-ith close packing. Simi!arly the results for the hydrocarbons nith eight carbon atoms, xhether paraffinic, branched-chain, or aromatic, all range between 0.27 and 0.43 mole per mole, the higheat being diisobutg1 , f j r i t A anti the lowest the less symmetrical 3,2,~-triniethS.lpentanc..

This must operate in the formation of certain acid soaps from fatty acid and soap; but in the prcsent work a good example is found in the interact>ionbetween octyl amine and cetyl pyridinium chloride. This results in the abnormally high mole/mole ratio of 1.55 and is evidenced in a color change to a different tone of yellow observed in t,his solution. COMPARISON OF DETERGENTS
