Various conditions were examined at the palmitoylation of alginic acid by the modified SCHOTTEN-BAUMANN process, with which GORDON et al. prepared the palmitoyl protein.
In our experiments, good yield was obtained when
1) the concentration of alginic acid in aqueous solution was 1 %,
2) the weight of ether was 5 times as much as palmitoyl chloride,
3) the time of agitation was 20-30min. after the addition of reactant, etc.
