Ethanolamine → N-(2-hydroxyethyl)octadecyl succinimide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 50 mL reaction flask was charged with 17.6 g of octadecyl succinic anhydride (manufactured by Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) and 3.1 g of ethanolamine (manufactured by Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.), and the resulting mixture was reacted at 160° C. for 4 hours under continuous nitrogen purging and with vigorous stirring. The reaction product was purified by silica gel column chromatography (mobile phase: ethyl acetate/hexane), yielding 10.6 g of N-(2-hydroxyethyl)octadecyl succinimide (yield: 54%).
