Abstract: | Vegetable oils as the main source of plant lipids are currently generating much interest as renewable industrial feedstocks
for nonfood industrial applications both as biobased lubricants and biodiesel fuels. But of particular interest for us is
use of new crop oils in novel industrial applications. These oils, in general, are glyceryl esters with olefinic bonds, which
are readily functionalizable. Aminated lipids are important intermediates in many applications including pharmaceutical formulations
because they have a modifying effect on cell membranes. We have exploited the nucleophilic property of the carbon-carbon double
bonds in two seed oils to generate the oxirane derivatives of the lipids. Ring opening of the epoxy intermediates with amines
under anhydrous ZnCl2 catalysis is facile, and the reaction proceeds smoothly at moderate temperatures to given the aminohydroxy TG of milkweed
and salicornia oils. |
