HCID 11139345N-Decyl-4-hydroxybutyramide

Procedure

In a glass reaction vessel, 157.3 grams of decylamine was mixed with 86.1 grams butyrolactone, whereupon the temperature rose to about 150° C. Reaction was spontaneous, and greater than 95% conversion of the butyrolactone to product was achieved. Titration of the product indicated that only 0.4 weight percent free amine remained unreacted. The liquid product was cooled by pouring on a glass surface at room temperature, whereupon the product froze to a hard white, waxy solid. Titration of the remaining reaction mixture indicated that only 0.4 weight percent free amine remained after removal of product. IR=6.11 mu.
