Lipophilic di-, tri-, tetra-, and hexaamines were synthesized from 2-alkyl-1,3-propanediols and 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)alkanols. The alcohols were converted into the sulfonate esters which were substituted with ethylenediamine or sodium azide. The azides were directly reduced to give amines. Also dioxyethylenated 2-octadecyl-1,3-propanediol yielded the corresponding amine. Some amines were converted into the salicylidene derivatives.
