Stearoyl chloride → Octadecanoic acid, [9-(acetyloxy)-3,8,10-triethyl-7,8,10-trimethyl-1,5-dioxa-9-azaspiro[5.5]undec-3-yl]methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

12 g (0.037 mol) of 3,8,10-triethyl-7,8,10-trimethyl-1,5-dioxa-9-azaspiro[5.5]undec-3-ylmethanol (for method of preparation, see U.S. Pat. No. 4,105,626) are dissolved in 40 ml of pyridine and admixed with 11.7 g (0.039 mol) of stearoyl chloride. After stirring for 18 hours at room temperature, the reaction mixture is diluted with 200 ml of water and extracted with 2×50 ml of methyl-t-butylether. After distilling off the solvent, the resulting stearoyl nitroxide is converted by a method analogous to Example A 30 into the compound 144 which is obtained in the form of a colourless oil.
