Shirshin, Konstantin K. published the artcileSpecific Organocatalysis in Amidation Reaction of Fatty Acid Methyl Esters with 3-(Dimethylamino)-1-propylamine, Safety of Methyl decanoate, the main research area is dimethylaminopropyl amine FAME organo catalytic amidation potential energy surface.
Comparison of various organic compounds such as glycols, amines and alkanolamines as organocatalysts in amidation of fatty acid Me esters with 3-(dimethylamino)-1-propylamine was made for the first time. It was exptl. detected that catalysts containing OH-groups (alcs., glycols, glycerol and aminoalcs.) influence the reaction rate. Moreover, catalytic effect is depending on the catalysts geometry significantly. 1,5-diols (e. g. diethylene glycol and diethanolamine) were found to accelerate the reaction more than other OH-groups containing additives. It was supposed, that this catalytic effect is caused by specific associative interactions between reactants and 1,5-diols, what was confirmed by quantum mechanics calculations Catalysts concentration effects on the reaction rate were also investigated.
