Reaction Steps

To a solution of dilinoleyl methanol (1.0 g, 1.9 mmol) and pyridine (230 μL, 4.7 mmol) in anhydrous ether (10 mL) cooled to −15° C. under nitrogen was slowly added diphosgene (380 μL, 3.1 mmol). The reaction was stirred for 20 minutes at −15° C., then N-hexyl-N′,N′-dimethylpropane-1,3-diamine (3.8 g, 20.3 mmol) was added as a solution in 4:1 ether/dichloromethane (10 mL). The solution was warmed to room temperature and stirring was continued for 20 minutes. Upon completion, the solution was diluted with diethyl ether (100 mL) and washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate (2×50 mL). The ether extract was dried on magnesium sulphate, filtered, concentrated in vacuo to dryness. The residue was purified by column chromatography (100% ethyl acetate) to afford the title compound as a colorless oil (1.1 g, 76%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 5.43-5.26 (m, 8H), 4.80-4.68 (m, 1H), 3.35-3.15 (m, 4H), 2.81-2.75 (m, 4H), 2.66-2.25 (m, 8H), 2.10-1.70 (m, 14H), 1.64-1.46 (m, 6H), 1.40-1.20 (m, 38H), 1.00-0.93 (m, 3H), 0.92-0.86 (m, 6H).
