Abstract

A new kind of fluorine-containing amphiphiles — perfluoroalkyl-containing steroidal glycosides were synthesized in good yield through perfluoroalkylation by means of sodium dithionite-initiated addition of RFI to olefinic system. Preliminary study showed that these glycosides could form vesicles in aqueous medium as observed by electron microscopy.
