Reaction Steps

0.147 g of Nα-lauroyl-Nε-isothiocyanato-L-Lysine was combined and stirred with 2 g of RO water and 0.39 mL of 1.00 M NaOH in a 50 mL single neck round bottom flask and filtered into a 250 mL single neck round bottom flask to yield a clear pale amber solution. The flask was then immersed while rotating into a dry ice/acetone bath to yield a solid coating on the walls of the flask, whereupon the flask was evacuated (0.10 mm Hg) and removed from the ice bath. Evacuation for one hour yielded a dry white solid powder of the water soluble surfactant Sodium Nα-lauroyl-Nε-isothiocyanato-L-Lysinate.
