Reaction Steps

5 g of 1-hexadecyloxy-3-methylamino-propan-2-ol are dissolved in 30 cc. of anhydrous chloroform. At first 3 g of triethylamine and separately thereafter 2.4 g of acetylchloride are added dropwise with cooling and the mixture is stirred for 8 hours. The chloroform solution is washed with 2% hydrochloric acid and water, is evaporated and the residue is dissolved in 100 cc. of methanol. A solution of 0.6 g of sodium hydroxide in a little methanol is added to the methanol solution and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for one hour. The solvent is evaporated in a vacuo and the residue is triturated in chloroform. The chloroform solution is washed with 2% hydrochloric acid and water, is dried over sodium sulfate and is evaporated.
