1,2-Dimethoxyethane → HCID 86737116, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 40 parts 5,7-dodecadiyne-1,12-diol, 215 parts 1,2-dimethoxyethane, 1 part dibutyltin-di-2-ethylhexanoate and 15 parts triethylamine was prepared and the resulting mixture was stirred vigorously. A solution of 133 parts n-octadecylisocyanate in 44 parts of 1,2-dimethoxyethane was added dropwise over a period of 60 min. The reaction temperature rose to 42° C. from 18° C. within 50 min. and then subsided. After the addition, 80 parts of 1,2-dimethoxyethane was then added to the reaction mixture and the mixture was stirred for an additional 2 hrs. To this mixture was added 1390 parts of heptane. The precipitate was collected by filtration, washed with petroleum ether (bp 30°-60° C.) and dried, giving 154.6 parts (99% yield) of desired product, mp 118°-119° C.
