Procedure
A 2 L two neck round bottom flask equipped with condenser was charged with D(+) glucose (60 g, 0.333 moles), 2-propanol (900 mL), hexadecylamine (81 g, 0.334 moles) and deionized water (300 mL). The reaction was stirred and heated to 50°-55° celsius for 1 hour to obtain a homogeneous solution. The reaction was then allowed to run overnight at room temperature. The reaction precipitated out after 2-3 hours.
