[0038] Example 1:
[0039] Synthesis of N-octadecyl-1,3-dipropylamine:
[0040] This embodiment provides a method for preparing N-octadecyl-1,3-dipropylamine, and the reaction formula is as follows:
[0041] Includes the following steps:
[0042] 6g of compounds 1 and 1,3-propanediamine (compound 2, purity 99.0%) and solvent were added to a reaction vessel. The mixture was heated to 75℃ and stirred for 16h. After cooling to room temperature, 300mL of water was added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1h. A solid precipitated out. The solid was filtered, washed with water, and dried to obtain the product (compound 3). The product was weighed and a sample was sent for NMR analysis to determine its purity. The NMR spectrum of N-octadecyl-1,3-dipropane prepared by method 3 in Table 1 is shown below. 1 The HNMR (H2NMR) is shown in Figure 1.
[0043] The reaction results under different reaction conditions are shown in Table 1.
[0044] Table 1 Screening of preparation methods and conditions for N-octadecyl-1,3-dipropylamine
[0045] As shown in Table 1, ideal reaction results can be obtained when X is OTs or Br, especially when 2-methyltetrahydrofuran or tert-butanol is used as solvent, the yield is relatively higher. Furthermore, this invention unexpectedly discovered that the reaction can achieve similar technical results as when using a solvent, even without omitting the solvent.
[0046] Example 2:
[0047] Synthesis of bis(hydroxyethyl)-aminopropyl-N-hydroxyethyloctadecylamine:
[0048] This embodiment provides a method for preparing bis(hydroxyethyl)-aminopropyl-N-hydroxyethyloctadecylamine, comprising the following steps:
