Procedure
A mixture of 3.62 g. of 4-(11-hydroxyundecylamino)benzoic acid and 25 ml. of ethanol-water (9:1) containing 400 mg. of sodium hydroxide is stirred for 4 hours. The mixture is filtered and the solid washed with ethanol-water and dried in vacuo to yield sodium 4-(11-hydroxyundecylamino)benzoate as a white, amorphous solid.
