Reaction Steps

A solution of 7.35 g of 4-(n-hexadecylamino)benzoic acid in 50 ml of hexamethylphosphoramide is treated with 4.80 g of 25% aqueous sodium hydroxide followed by 11.0 g of 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol and then is heated at 140° C. for 6 hours. The mixture is diluted with water and ether and filtered to yield a white solid. Recrystallization from acetonitrile and then from carbon tetrachloride affords analytically pure 2,3-dihydroxypropyl 4-(n-hexadecylamino)benzoate, mp 112°-113° C.
