Reaction Steps

A mixture of 722 mg of 4-(n-hexadecylamino)benzoic acid, 736 mg of glycerol, and 412 mg of p-toluene sulfonic acid is heated for 4 hours at 120° C., allowed to cool, and then is treated with ether and 2% aqueous sodium carbonate solution. Filtration affords a white solid which is recrystallized from chloroform to yield 2,3-dihydroxypropyl 4-(n-hexadecylamino)benzoate, mp 112° C.
