Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide → N,N'-Dicyclohexylurea

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a cooled (0 to 5° C.) solution of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-succinate (66.8 mg), N-hydroxy-succinimide (11.5 mg), DMAP (2 mg) and acetonitrile (40 mL) in a 100 mL round bottom flask was added dropwise a solution of DCC (20.6 mg) in acetonitrile (10 mL). The resulting mixture was stirred for 5 hours. The solid material which formed during the reaction (dicyclohexylurea) was removed by filtration and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to yield 78 mg of N-DPGS-succinimide as a white product.
