N,N-Dimethylaniline → HCID 21849166, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Amino-1,3-diacetoxy-2-octadecylpropane (1.0 g) was dissolved in 50 ml of dry ether and 425 mg of N,N-dimethylaniline and 500 mg of pentanoyl chloride were added thereto. The mixture was stirred at room temperature under a nitrogen atmosphere for 6 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with 1N hydrochloric acid, a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution and a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution. The organic layer was dried and the resultant mixture was concentrated. The concentrate was purified by silica gel column chromatography using hexane-ethyl acetate (5:1→2:1) as an eluent to give 1.036 g of colorless, oily 1,3-diacetoxy-2-octadecyl-2-(N-pentanoylamino)propane.
