Ethanolamine → HCID 86736911, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.2 g of 2-tetradecylglycidic acid (0.0007 mole) in 10 ml of anhydrous THF at 0° C. (ice-water bath) with stirring is added 0.070 g of triethylamine (0.0007 mole) in a small amount of THF. The solution is stirred at 0° for 30 minutes and 76 mg. of ethyl chloroformate (0.0007 mole) in a small amount of THF is added. The mixture is stirred at about 0° C. (ice-water bath) for 3 hours (ppt. of Et3NHCl observed). At the end of 3 hours 0.042 g. (0.0007 mole) of ethanolamine in THF is added. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The THF solvent is concentrated to about 1/3 its volume, water is added and the mixture extracted with ether. The ether extract is dried over Na2SO4 and the ether solvent removed to give a white solid of N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-tetradecylglycidamide which, upon recrystallization from acetone has a m.p. of 80°-82° C.
