Reaction Steps

The procedures of Ulsperger et al., J. Prakt. Chemie, Vol. 27, pp. 195-212 (1965), the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference in their entirety, were substantially followed. Specifically, 15.8 g decylamine (0.1M) and 7.4 g glycidol (0.1M) were mixed in 250 ml methanol at 60°-80° C. and refluxed for 10 hours. The methanol was rotary evaporatated. The product was a semisolid, 23.2 g (yield 100%). After recrystallization with hexane, pure white solid DDP, m.p. 65°-67° C. (m.p. 70°-70.5° C., lit.), was recovered.
