General description

Stearic acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester is an N-Hydroxysuccinimide ester of fatty acid. They are used in the synthesis of N-acyl amino acids and fatty acyl CoA. They are also used in the direct N-acylation of sphingenine or sphinganine thus leading to the formation of ceramides.

Application

Used in the synthesis of ceramides and in the hydrophobication of amines.

Fatty acyl esters of N-hydroxysuccinimide have been used to directly N-acylate sphingenine or sphinganine, forming the corresponding ceramides. The reaction proceeds in excellent yield (84-96%) from small amounts of starting material (10-20 mg). The product ceramides are pure after one
