Procedure

To a solution of 20 g of 2-[(hexadecyloxy)methyl]-2-propenoic acid, ethyl ester and 10 ml of triethylamine in 60 ml of ethanol is added 53 ml of hexadecyl mercaptan. This mixture is stirred overnight, then the solvents removed and the residue purified by HPLC [hexane:ethyl acetate (9:1)], to give 32.9 g of the desired compound as a white waxy solid.
