Reaction Steps

A mixture of 89.0 g of epichlorohydrin, 92.0 g of sodium 4-(n-hexadecylamino)benzoate, and 350 ml of hexamethylphosphoramide is stirred at 105° C. for 5 hours, allowed to cool, and poured into 1.0 liter of water. The white solid is collected by filtration, recrystallized from acetonitrile and then from hexane-methylene chloride to yield 2,3-epoxypropyl 4-(n-hexadecylamino)benzoate, mp 86°-89° C.
