Procedure

A mixture of 15 g of decylamine, 5.48 g of gamma butyrolactone, 100 ml of toluene, and 20 mg of zinc chloride was refluxed under nitrogen for 4 days. Upon cooling the reaction mixture formed a precipitate which was recrystallized from toluene to yield 6.91 g (44.6%) of N-decyl-4-hydroxybutyramide, m.p. 74°-75° C.
