Piperazine → Piperazine, 1-(1-oxooctadecyl)-

Participants

Reaction Steps

20 g of anhydrous piperazine was dissolved in 1,000 ml of tetrahydrofuran and then 33.6 g of stearoyl chloride was added dropwise thereto under stirring and under cooling with ice. The mixture was stirred under cooling with ice for 1 h and tetrahydrofuran was distilled off under reduced pressure. A saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate was added to the residue. After extraction with 200 ml of chloroform three times, the extract was washed with a saturated aqueous solution of common salt and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: chloroform/methanol=9/1) to obtain 5.1 g of the intended product.
