Reaktionsschritte

N-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-N-dodecylamine (1.0 g, 0.0039 mole) and potassium hydroxide (0.01 g, 0.18 mmole) were heated to 85° C. under vacuum and methyl 2-hydroxyoctanoate (0.6718 g, 0.0039 mole) was added dropwise to the reaction. The reaction was heated under vacuum for 5 hours. A waxy off-white solid was obtained (crude yield=1.38 g). The waxy solid was recrystalized from hot hexane (yield=0.44 g).
