Description

• General description: Dioctadecylamine (DODA), a secondary amine, is a fatty amine derivative. Its biodegradation potential has been assessed.[1] It has been observed that in aqueous medium DODA self organizes into plate like structures. Its partial charge distribution as a function of its conformation has been analyzed.[2] The phase diagram of dioctadecylamine Langmuir monolayers has been determined and investigations show it does not form a monolayer above pH 3.9.[3] DODA has been utilized in forming liposomes, cationic lipids or lipid chelating agents.[4]
• Application: Dioctadecylamine (DODA) is suitable reagent used in the synthesis of the following:Dioctadecylamine-BCN (bicyclo[6.1.0]nonyne) conjugate.[5]Lipid derivatives of bisethylnorspermine (BSP).[6]Functional VP (N-vinylpyrrolidone ) polymers.[7]It may be used in the following studies:As a reactant in the synthesis of 4,4′-azobis(4-cyano-N,N-dioctadecyl)pentanamide (DODA-501) by reacting with disuccinimidyl 4,4′-azobis(4-cyanovalerate).[8]As a reagent in the synthesis of dioctadecyl heptapeptides.[9]As a phase transfer and stabilizer agent for gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in non-polar solvent.[10]
