Abstract

Abstract A series of mono-and diamines and one triamine have been prepared using methyl 17-hydroxy oleate as the common starting material. The 17-hydroxy oleate is an abundant bioderived material obtained from acid alcoholysis of sophorolipids, which in turn are produced by fermentation of agricultural by-products. Incorporation of the amino unit (s) can be selectively performed at either end of the chain or at its middle. The chief synthetic ...
