Abstract:
A simple preparation process of amide-octyl-bonded phase (AOBP) is described. In the process aminopropyltriethoxysilane first reacted with octanoyl chloride and then the obtained intermediate was bonded onto porous silica. Characterization of prepared packing was carried out with elemental analysis, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (13C-NMR) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Chromatographic evaluations were carried out by testing with a mixture including acidic, basic and neutral organic compounds using methanol-water as binary mobile phase. The results show that the stationary phase has excellent chromatographic properties and resistance to hydrolysis between pH 2.5-7.5. It can be used for the efficient separation of basic compounds.

Preparation of Amides
The DCC-promoted synthesis of amides begins with the protonation of DCC by carboxylic acid. The protonation makes it a better acceptor. Next, the addition of carboxylate to the protonated carbodiimide gives a reactive acylating agent.
Subsequently, the amine acts as a nucleophile that attacks the acylating agent to form a tetrahedral intermediate. In the...

Preparation of 1° Amines: Azide Synthesis
Azide ions act as good nucleophiles and react with unhindered alkyl halides to form alkyl azides. Alkyl azides do not participate in further nucleophilic substitution reactions, thereby eliminating the chances of polyalkylated products. Alkyl azides are reduced by hydride-based reducing agents, like lithium aluminum...

Strong bases like NaOH or KOH deprotonate the phthalimide to form the corresponding anion, which acts as a nucleophile. Further, the anion attacks an...
