Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Hydroxypentadecanenitrile (1.0 g) was suspended in concentrated hydrochloric acid (15 ml), and this suspension was vigorously stirred at room temperature for 24 hours. Then, this mixture was diluted with water (45 ml). The insoluble powder was collected by filtration, washed with water (10 ml×3), and dried to give 2-hydroxypentadecanamide (1.06 g).
