Acetyl chloride → N-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-N-(hexadecyl)ethanamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Acetyl chloride (1.15g. 14.8 mmoles) was added dropwise to a reactor containing N-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-hexadecylamine (1.5 g, 4.3 mmoles) in 3 mL of chloroform. The reaction was stirred for 16 hours at room temperature. When the reaction was completed, the, mixture was concentrated, ethanol and water was added, and the pH of the reaction was adjusted to 14. This mixture was extracted with chloroform, and organic layer was collected and concentrated. The sample was purified on a silica column chromatography to give 0.4 g of product.
