Production method
It can be obtained from stearic acid via ammoniation and hydrogenation. Send stearic acid and ammonia continuously and quantitatively into the liquid phase reaction tower for ammoniation at 350 ℃ to generate octadecane nitrile. After washing with water and refinement, it was sent to the autoclave and was subject to hydrogenation reaction under 130 ℃ and the pressure of about 3.5MPa with the nickel catalyst for generation of Octadecanamine. The hydrogenated product was subject to precipitation for removing the catalyst to derive the final products. During laboratory preparation, the octadecane nitrile and anhydrous ethanol are subject to boiling under reflux and further put into sodium metal for reaction. Pour the reaction mixture into the dilute hydrochloric acid with cooling obtaining the Octadecanamine hydrochloride. Further treat with 20% sodium hydroxide solution treated with 20% sodium hydroxide solution can produce Octadecanamine. The yield is 85%.

Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 124-30-1 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 1,2 and 4 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 3 and 0 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 124-30:
(5*1)+(4*2)+(3*4)+(2*3)+(1*0)=31
31 % 10 = 1
So 124-30-1 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Microwave-Assisted Method for the Synthesis of Perylene Ester Imides as a Gateway Toward Unsymmetrical Perylene Bisimides
Gupta, Ravindra Kumar,Achalkumar, Ammathnadu S.
, p. 6290 - 6300 (2018)
A high yielding microwave-assisted synthetic method to obtain unsymmetrical perylene diester monoimide (PEI) by treating the perylene tetrester (PTE) with a requisite amine is reported. Perylene-based molecules are widely used in the construction of self-assembled supramolecular structures because of their propensity to aggregate under various conditions. In comparison to perylene bisimides (PBIs), PEIs are less studied in organic electronics/self-assembly due to the synthetic difficulty and low yields in their preparation. PEIs are less electron deficient and have an unsymmetric structure in comparison to PBIs. Further, the PEIs have a higher solubility than PBIs. The present method is applicable with a wide range of substrates like aliphatic, aromatic, benzyl amines, PTEs, and bay-annulated PTEs. This method provides a tuning handle for the optical/electronic properties of perylene derivatives and also provides an easy access to unsymmetrical PBIs from the PEIs.

The use of triglycerides as an important class of biomass is an effective strategy to realize a more sustainable society. Herein, three heterogeneous catalytic methods are reported for the selective one-pot transformation of triglycerides into value-added chemicals: i) the reductive amination of triglycerides into fatty amines with aqueous NH3 under H2 promoted by ZrO2-supported Pt clusters; ii) the amidation of triglycerides under gaseous NH3 catalyzed by high-silica H-beta (Hβ) zeolite at 180 °C; iii) the Hβ-promoted synthesis of nitriles from triglycerides and gaseous NH3 at 220 °C. These methods are widely applicable to the transformation of various triglycerides (C4–C18 skeletons) into the corresponding amines, amides, and nitriles.

Adam, Rosa,Bheeter, Charles Beromeo,Jackstell, Ralf,Beller, Matthias
, p. 1329 - 1334 (2016/04/20)
A novel protocol for the general hydrogenation of nitriles in the absence of basic additives is described. The system is based on the combination of [Ru(cod)(methylallyl)2] (cod=cyclooctadiene) and L2. A variety of aromatic and aliphatic nitriles is hydrogenated under mild conditions (50 °C and 15 bar H2) with this system. Kinetic studies revealed higher activity in the case of aromatic nitriles compared with aliphatic ones.
