Procedure

In an argon atmosphere, a mixture of methyl benzoate (3.0 mmol), 8-aminooctan-1-ol (3.6 mmol), Zn4(OCOCF3)6O (1.25 mol % in terms of mole number) and diisopropyl ether (5.0 ml) was heated to reflux for 20 hours, and as a result, 8-aminooctyl benzoate was obtained at a yield of 90%. The yield of 8-benzoylaminooctyl benzoate was 7%.
