Reaction Steps

3-Hexadecanoyloxyoctadecanoic acid (150 mg) prepared by the method described in Preparation 2-(3) and N-hydroxysuccinimide (38 mg) were dissolved in dioxane (2 ml). N,N-Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (68 mg) was added thereto under ice cooling. The mixture was reached to ambient temperature and stirred at the same temperature overnight. The crystallized urea was filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated to give a residue which was dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (7 ml). To this solution was added a solution of N-β-alanyl-L-serine (100 mg) and triethylamine (100 μl) in water (4 ml) at 0° C. The resulting mixture was reached to ambient temperature and stirred at the same temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was acidified with 1 N hydrochloric acid, extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with water and dried over magnesium sulfate. Ethyl acetate was distilled off to give a residue which was subjected to preparative thin layer chromatography (Merck, 0.25 mm×5) and eluted with a mixture of benzene, dioxane and acetic acid (10:5:1). The band containing the object compound was extracted with a mixture of methanol and chloroform (3:7) and the solvent was evaporated off under reduced pressure to afford powder of N-[N-(3-hexadecanoyloxyoctadecanoyl)-β-alanyl]-L-serine (78 mg).
