Aluminium lithium hydride → HCID 21849492, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

1,3-Diacetoxy-2-octadecyl-2-(N-pentanoylamino)propane (400 mg) was dissolved in 30 ml of dry ether and 150 mg of lithium aluminum hydride was added thereto under ice-cooling. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated and 20 ml of dry tetrahydrofuran was added thereto. Under ice-cooling, 0.15 ml of water, 0.15 ml of a 15% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and 0.45 ml of water were added-in order and the reaction mixture was filtered. The filtrate was concentrated and purified by silica gel column chromatography using chloroform-methanol-acetic acid (19:1:0.1→10:1:0.05) as an eluent to give 153 mg of colorless, powdery 2-octadecyl-2-(N-pentylamino)-1,3-propanediol.
