Reaction Steps

In a glass reaction vessel, 13.5 grams of octadecylamine were admixed with 4.3 grams of butyrolactone. The mixture was then heated to 150° C. by means of an oil bath until the reaction was complete in a period of 2 hours. A conversion of greater than 95% based on butyrolactone was achieved. Upon cooling to room temperature, the product formed a white to pale yellow, hard, waxy solid. Substantially all of the butyrolactone was reacted indicating greater than 95% conversion.
