[0018] The technical solution of the present invention is further illustrated by the following examples.
[0019] Unless otherwise defined, technical or scientific terms used in the present invention shall have the common meanings understood by one having ordinary skills in the field to which the present invention belongs.
[0020] Example
[0021] The present invention provides a method for preparing a Gemini surfactant with pH responsiveness, comprising the following steps:
[0022] S1. Under an inert atmosphere, add potassium carbonate and 1,2-dibromoethane to a three-necked flask and dissolve them in acetonitrile. Heat and stir continuously. Dissolve p-hydroxybenzaldehyde in acetonitrile and slowly drip into the three-necked flask. Heat the mixed solution continuously at a temperature of 50-100°C for 12-24 hours. Filter after cooling to room temperature. Separate and purify the filtrate by column chromatography and then evaporate it by rotary evaporation. Dry it in a vacuum drying oven to obtain an aldehyde-containing aromatic halogenated hydrocarbon. The vacuum drying temperature is 40-60°C for 12-24 hours.
[0023] The chemical formula of aromatic halogenated hydrocarbons containing aldehyde groups is:
[0024]
[0025] The hydrogen spectrum is: 1 H NMR (400MHz, CDCl3) δ: 9.86-9.9 (m, 1H), 7.86-7.96 (m, 2H), 7.26 (d, J = 6.2Hz, 1H), 7.01-7.16 (m, 2H), 4.20-4.46 (m, 2H), 3.76-3.90 (m, 2H).
[0026] Wherein, the molar ratio of potassium carbonate, 1,2-dibromoethane and p-hydroxybenzaldehyde is (1-3):(4-6):1.
[0027] Potassium carbonate, as a weak base, can help promote the elimination of halogen atoms in halogenated hydrocarbon molecules. It can also act as a base to promote the reaction of halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons with carbon-containing nucleophiles, indirectly leading to the formation of aldehyde groups.

[0029] The tertiary amine is one of tetramethylpropylenediamine, tetramethylbutylenediamine, tetramethylpentanediamine and tetramethylhexanediamine. The tertiary amine and the halogenated hydrocarbon undergo nucleophilic substitution reaction to form a surfactant having a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail. The alkylated product, as a surfactant, can accumulate on the interface, reduce the surface tension between water and other substances, and enhance the emulsification, dispersion, wetting and other properties.
[0030] The chemical formula of the double-headed hydrophilic precursor containing an aldehyde group is:
[0031]
[0032] The hydrogen spectrum is: 1 H NMR(400MHz,D2O)δ:9.83-9.93(m,2H),7.86-7.96(m,4H),6.98-7.16(m,4H),4.78-7.86(m,4H),4.69(d,J=6.2Hz 1H), 3.86-3.98(m,4H), 3.42-3.48(m,4H), 2.54-2.63(m,2H).
[0033] S3, dissolving the aldehyde-containing double-headed hydrophilic precursor and primary amine obtained in S2 in water and adjusting the volume, wherein the molar ratio of the aldehyde-containing double-headed hydrophilic precursor and the primary amine is 1:(1-3), and reacting at 25°C for 12-24 hours to obtain a Gemini surfactant. The primary amine is one of octylamine, nonylamine, decylamine, undecylamine, dodecylamine, tridecylamine, tetradecylamine, pentadecylamine, and hexadecylamine, and the primary amine and the aldehyde group can generate an imine bond after Schiff base reaction, which is sensitive to pH, exists stably in an alkaline environment, and dissociates in an acidic environment.

[0035]
[0036] The hydrogen spectrum is: 1 H NMR(400MHz,D2O)δ:9.83-9.93(m,2H),7.86-7.96(m,4H),6.98-7.16(m,4H),4.78-7.86(m,4H), 4.69(d,J=6.2Hz,1H), 3.86-3.98(m,4H), 3.42-3.48(m,4H), 1.86-1.93(m,4H), 1.31-1.43(m,4H)
