The mixture containing 1.0 g (8.9 mmol) of 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)imidazole and 2.99 g (9.8 mmol) of 1-hexadecylbromide dissolved in 10 mL of acetonitrile was boiled with reflux condenser for 24 h. The precipitate formed during cooling was filtered, purified by recrystallization from ethyl acetate and dried under vacuum. Yield: 2.25 g (58%).
