4-Aminobenzyl alcohol → N-(4-hydroxymethylphenyl) 3,4,5-tris(octadecyloxy)cyclohexylcarboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Aminobenzyl alcohol (282 mg, 2.29 mmol) was dissolved in chloroform (40 ml), and HOBt (32 mg, 0.23 mmol) and 3,4,5-tris(octadecyloxy)cyclohexylcarboxylic acid (1.11 g, 1.19 mmol) were added. EDC.HCl (356 mg, 1.86 mmol) and pure water (120 μl) were added under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. After completion of the reaction, the solvent was evaporated, and the residue was precipitated with acetonitrile (10 ml), and isolated by silica gel column chromatography (chloroform/ethyl acetate=10:1) to give N-(4-hydroxymethylphenyl) 3,4,5-tris(octadecyloxy)cyclohexylcarboxamide (556 mg, 0.54 mmol, yield 45%).
