Acetyl chloride → N-Dodecylacetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-dodecylamine (1.049 g, 5.59 mmol), triethylamine (0.86 ml, 6.15 mmol) and acetyl chloride (0.44 ml, 6.15 mmol) in dichloromethane (10 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 3h. The mixture was quenched with water and the organic phase was separated. Evaporation of the dried (magnesium sulfate) organic phase gave a solid, which was recrystallized from hexane to give the titled amide.
