Pyridine → Oleoyl Serinate

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.03 moles of N-Boc-serine was constantly stirred under nitrogen in 100 mL of chloroform. 0.03 mole of oleoyl chloride was dissolved with 100 mL of chloroform and added to this heterogeneous mixture of N-Oleoylserine and followed by adding 10 mL of anhydrous pyridine. The reaction for 30 minutes under constantly stirring at room temperature, the mixture turned to homogeneous and the reaction was completed when no detectable oleoyl chloride was in the mixture. The bulk solvent was removed under vacuum and the crude product was used to next step without further purification. The resulting product (% of yields 75-80) is showed in Chemical Structure 4.
