Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 8.8 g. of 1,4-dihydroxy-2-butene and 2.84 g. of 4-dimethylaminopyridine is added 4.16 g. of 4-(n-hexadecylamino)benzoyl chloride hydrochloride. The heat evolution is moderated with ice and stirring is continued for 4 hours. Chloroform and water are added and the chloroform extract chromatographed to remove any diacylated by-product. Evaporation to crystallization yields the 4-hydroxy-2-buten-1-yl 4-(n-hexadecylamino)benzoate as a white solid.
