Reaction Steps

5 g of (R)-3-hydroxy-tetradecanenitrile and 35 ml of methylene chloride were placed in a reactor and stirred. The mixture was cooled to 0° C., and 3.87 ml of triethylamine was added thereto, to which 3.38 ml of trimethylsilyl chloride was added over about 30 minutes, and stirred for about 1 hour. Subsequently, the resulting mixture was slowly heated to room temperature and stirred for about 1 hour, 50 ml of water was added thereto, and stirred vigorously for 5 minutes. The aqueous layer was removed. The organic layer was combined with 50 ml of water, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under a reduced pressure, to give 6.66 g of the title compound (yield: 100%) as an oil.
