Trimethylamine → N-Octylisostearamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Isostearoyl chloride, prepared from 20 g isostearic acid, 10.1 g thionyl chloride and 0.2 ml dimethyl formamide, according to the procedure of Example 1, is added to 11 g (0.09 mole) n-octylamine and 10 g (0.10 mole) trimethylamine in 100 ml ether. The reaction mixture is treated in accordance with the procedure of Example 2, yielding 22 g of an amber oil, which exhibits infrared spectra values typical of a secondary amide.
