Molecular Segments Reorganization Strategy Coupled With Retrosynthetic Analysis for Designing Sustainable Alternatives to Alkylphenol Ethoxylates.
Alkylphenol ethoxylates is an important fine chemical that has been used in industrial cleaning, textile manufacture, and emulsion polymerization. However, their petrochemical origin and adverse health effects, particularly xeno-oestrogenic activity, pose a challenge for sustainability and have been almost banned globa...
