Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 20 g of 1,3,5-tris-hydroxyethyl perhydro-s-triazine from the method of Paquin, Ber., 82, 316 (1949) and 0.30 g (5.8 mole percent) of powdered KOH is heated at 80° C. under reduced pressure (less than 0.1 mm) for 6 hours. Methyl oleate (30g ) from acid-catalyzed esterification of oleic acid in methanol is then added and the resulting mixture (in two phases) is stirred at 80° C. under the reduced pressure overnight. The homogeneous material which is obtained is dissolved in CH2Cl2, washed with water, dried over potassium carbonate, then is concentrated into a light yellow oil of 41 g (84.9 percent of theory). Both the infrared (1745 cm-1) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra are consistent with the desired 1,3,5-triazine-1,3,5-(2H,4H,6H)triethanol monooleate.
