The aliphatic primary alcohols are reacted with a glycose, more especially glucose, in the presence of an acidic catalyst in certain process steps so that particularly light-colored and alkali-stable alkyl glucosides are obtained after a subsequent, compulsory bleaching step, which represents an improvement over known direct synthesis processes. The process may be carried out both on a laboratory scale and also on an industrial production scale.

Process for the direct production of alkyl glycosides

A process for the production of surface-active alkyl glycosides which is carried out by the transacetalization method with butanol, leads to a new alkyl glycoside as end product which is characterized by high color-stability in alkaline medium; besides a high proportion of alkyl monoglycoside, the product also contains polyglycoside on polyglycose and butyl glucoside.
