Dimethylamine → 1,2-Dihexadecyloxy-3-dimethylamino glycerol

Participants

Reaction Steps

900 mg of 3-bromo-1,2-dihexadecyloxy glycerol was dissolved in 30 ml chloroform in a 100 ml round bottom flask. 720 mg dimethylamine was added to yield an approximately 10 fold molar excess, and the reaction mixture stirred at room-temperature overnight. The progress of the reaction was measured by thin-layer-chromatography (30% ethyl acetate in hexane).
