Reaction Steps

A 300-ml flask equipped with a stirrer was charged with 26.85 g (0.1 mol) of 1,2-epoxyoctadecane, 7.51 g (0.1 mol) of N-methylethanolamine and 50 ml of ethanol, and the contents were stirred at 80° C. for 18 hours. After the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, the resultant residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel, thereby obtaining 23.0 g (yield: 67%) of the title compound (IIc-2).
