Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred ice-cold solution of 18.3 g. of p-(2,2,2-trifluoro-N-hexadecylacetamido)benzoic acid in 80 ml. of dioxane is added successively 4.84 g. of N-hydroxysuccinimide and 9.16 g. of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. After 18 hours at 0°-5° C. the mixture is stirred vigorously for one hour with hexane and water and filtered.
