Reaktionsschritte

L-lysine hydrochloride (18.3 g, 0.1 mols) and 2.0 g (0.2 mols) of sodium hydroxide were dissolved in 100 ml of water in a three-necked round flask, and 100 ml of i-propanol were added thereto. Then, 32.6 g (0.1 mols) of octadecylglycidyl ether were added dropwise thereto over a period of 30 minutes while being heat-refluxed and stirred. Further, the mixture was stirred under reflux for 3 hours. It was identified through TLC and gas chromatography that octadecylglycidyl ether disappeared. Thereafter, the resulting mixture was neutralized with 10.1 g (0.1 mols) of 36% hydrochloric acid. The reaction solution was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified through silica-gel column chromatography (Kieselgel 60, eluent=mixture of chloroform, methanol and acetic acid at a ratio of 3:1:0.5) to give 12.0 g of Nε-(2-hydroxy-3-octadecyloxy)propyl-L-lysine hydrochloride (yield 23.6%).
