Reaction Steps

The compound 4-(n-hexadecylamino)benzoyl chloride hydrochloride (4.16 g.) is added to a mixture of 3.6 g. of dihydroxyacetone and 2.44 g. of 4-dimethylaminopyridine in an ice bath. After 4 hours at room temperature, the mixture is treated with chloroform and water. The chloroform extract is chromatographed rapidly and evaporated in vacuo to yield 3-hydroxyacetonyl 4-(n-hexadecylamino)benzoate.
