Reaction Steps

DDAIP was prepared by transesterification of ethyl 2-(N,N-dimethylamino)-propionate obtained from Varsal Instruments Inc. (Warminster, Pa.). Specifically, a mixture ethyl 2-(N,N-dimethylamino)-propionate, 1-dodecanol, and sodium methoxide predissolved in toluene was refluxed for about 2 hours. As ethanol formed, it was removed by azeotropic distillation. After about 2 hours of refluxing, the remaining reaction product was filtered to remove solids.
