Reaktionsschritte

A solution of γ-phenyl-γ-butyrolactone (5.17 g, 31.8 mmol) and benzylamine (3.48 ml, 31.8 mmol) in 200 ml of benzene was refluxed under a nitrogen atmosphere for 20 hours. An additional 1.75 ml (16.0 mmol) of benzylamine was added and the solution refluxed for 24 hours. When the reaction was partitioned with 1 N HCl a white solid precipitated. The solid was collected by filtration and dried to give N-benzyl-4-hydroxy-4-phenyl-butyramide (6.12 g, 72%) as a white solid, mp 92-94° C.
