2-hydroxy-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)propanamide

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:

Conditions: temp:60.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: A mixture of 70.8 gm (0.6 mole) of ethyl lactate and 36.6 gm (0.6 mole) of ethanolamine were stirred together at 60° C. for 16 hours, and the ethanol formed was subsequently distilled off under reduced pressure. 71 gm (89% of theory) of light yellow, viscous N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-lactic acid amide of refractive index (nD20) 1.4850 were obtained. was subsequently distilled off under reduced pressure
