Procedure
An ethanol solution (100 ml) of 12-aminododecanol (4.81 g, 23.9 mmol) and trifluoroacetic acid ethyl ester (6.79 g, 47.8 mmol) was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure to give 12-trifluoroacetamidododecanol (1) (6.98 g, q.) as a colorless syrup.
