extent of hydrophobic effect in amidation reaction of alkyl thioester with alkylamine in water was studied. The yield of the products was primarily dependent on the alkyl group of amine. For example, the reaction of S-dodecyl dodecanethioate with dodecylamine proceeded in good yield, while the reaction did not occur with cyclohexylamine, piperidine, and dipropylamine. The effect of chain length of n-alkylamine

The title reaction was studied using sodium 3-(1-oxododec-1-yl)thio- and 3-(1-oxohept-1-yl)thiopropanoate with various chain lengths of amines. The yields of the amides were found to depend on both the chain length of the thioester and that of amine, suggesting the presence of hydrophobic interaction. The amides were obtained in better yields after addition of sodium fluoride. Acylation (dodecanoylation) of some hydrophobic amino acids was also studied to obtain the corresponding amides.
