Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 45 g of 12-bromododecanol in 500 ml of dimethylformamide was added 75 g of potassium phthalimide and the mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 3 hours. After completion of the reaction, the solvent was distilled off and the residue was dispersed with water. The crude crystal thus separated out was recovered by filtration and recrystallized from methanol to afford 54 g of the title compound as a crystal.
