Benzene → 3-(N-Tridecylcarbamoyloxy)propyl 2-trimethylammonioethyl phosphate

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 23 ml of benzene are dissolved 4.0 g (13.27 mM) of 3-(N-tridecylcarbamoyloxy)propanol prepared from 9.12 g of myristic acid as in Example 18 and 4.82 g (19.90 mM) of 2-bromoethyl phosphorodichloridate. To the solution is added dropwise 1.57 g (19.90 mM) of pyridine, and the mixture is stirred at room temperature. As in Example 20, the reaction mixture is hydrolyzed, converted to a quaternary ammonium compound, dehalogenated and purified by silica gel chromatography to give the contemplated compound as colorless solid. Yield 3.5 g.
