Hello,
I am not a chemist by training but I have to do some simple reactions for my research. I'd appreciate if someone can help me with correct naming of a diamide lipid that I recently made from L-Glutamic acid and two molecules of long chain fatty amine with 16:0 chain length. The fatty amines were linked to the amino acid through its alpha and delta carboxyl groups as amide bonds. It's alpha-NH2 was untouched. This compound is not new, but in the literature it was not formally named. I tentatively name it as L-Glutamyl dipalmitylamide or L-Glutamyl dihexadecylamide. Could anyone tell me if this sounds alright, or it is too informal?
Comments are welcome!
I thank you ahead for your *delete me*
Cheers,
Steve
