Reaktionsschritte

50 g of methyl 12-hydroxystearate, 300 ml of methanol and 20 ml of a 28% methanol solution of sodium methoxide were mixed, and 50 ml of n-butylamine was added thereto. The resulting mixture was heat-refluxed for 6.5 hours. After cooling, the reaction mixture was poured into dilute hydrochloric acid, and the precipitated crystals were filtered to obtain 47 g of N-butyl-12-hydroxystearic acid amide having a melting point of 100°-102° C.
