Reaction Steps

To a mixture containing 4.3 g. of [N-(t-butyloxycarbonyl)-4-(4-pentadecenylamino)benzoyl]imidazole, 50 ml. of chloroform, and 50 ml. of 5 N sodium hydroxide is added 1.1 g. of 3-amino-1,2-propanediol. The mixture is vigorously stirred for 24 hours, the layers are separated, and the chloroform solution is washed once with 50 ml. of 1 N sodium hydroxide. The solvent is evaporated and the residue is heated for 30 minutes at 40° C. in 50 ml. of anhydrous trifluoroacetic acid. The solvent is again evaporated and the resulting oil is crystallized from acetone to yield the product as light yellow crystals.
