A novel synthetic crystalline material, EMM-28, can be synthesized in the presence of an organic structure directing agent (Q) selected from one or more of the following dications:

##STR00001##

EMM-28 may be used in organic compound conversion reactions and sorptive processes.

Disclosed are a variety of amphoteric compounds containing a quaternary nitrogen group, a covalently bound counterion, and an ester or amide group. These amphoteric compounds can be advantageously prepared via a chemoenzymatic green process, and exhibit good surfactant properties.
