(I), in which n represents a whole number from 1 to 20 and R1 and R2 each mean alkyl groups with a maximum of 8 carbon atoms or together mean an alkylene group with 4 to 8 carbon atoms optionally interrupted by an oxygen atom or a nitrogen atom, from hydroxyalkane carboxylic acids of general formula II
HO-CnH2n-COOH (II), in which n has the above-mentioned meaning and amines of general formula III
(III), in which R1 and R2 have the above-mentioned meanings that is characterized in that the hydroxyalkane carboxylic acid is refluxed in a one-pot reaction with 10 to 30 mol of acetyl chloride per mol of acid each, the excess acetyl chloride is distilled off after acetylation has taken place, the residue is refluxed with 1.5 to 5 mol of thionyl chloride per mol of acid, the thionyl chloride is removed by distillation after acid chloride formation has taken place, the residue is dissolved in a dialkyl ether with 4 to 8 carbon atoms, the solution obtained is placed proportionately in an aqueous solution of the amine cooled to 0°C
to 10°C and the acetate group is cleaved off after amide formation has taken place by treatment with aqueous sodium hydroxide solution at a reaction temperature of 10°C to 30°C.

As is generally known, the hydroxyalkane carboxyiic acid amides of general formula I are valuable intermediate products . and/or pharmacologically effective substances.
Thus, for example, hydroxyalkane carboxylic acid amides of general formula Ia /~1 Rs-CH-CON (~a)J
~H \ R2 ~:

in which R~ represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group, are valuable intermediate products for the production of herbicides ~ -(DE-A 30 38 598).
Hydroxyalkane carboxylic acid amides of general formula Ib ~ Rl ;.
HO-(C~m-CO~ \ (Ib), in which m means the numbers 7 to 18 are especially suitable for the production of pharmaceutical agents for the local treatment of :
diseases of the skin or mucous membrane (WO 90/09373) or can be 2127~
used as intermediate products for the production of detergents (US-A 2,936,325). However, the synthesis of these hydroxyalkane carboxylic acid amides is quite expensive as a rule and the yield and purity of the obtained products is often unsatisfactory. In contrast, the one~pot reaction according to the invention offers both ecological and economic advantages. It iæ relatively simple to perform in comparison with the previously known processes and provides the products of the process in surprisingly high yield and purity.
The process accordinq to the invention is performed in such a way that the hydroxyalkane carboxylic acid is dissolved or suspended in 10 to 30 mol of acetyl chloride per mol of acid and the reaction mixture is refluxed. After acetylation has taken place (recognizable by thin-layer chromatographic analysis, or in that no more hydrogenchloride generation takes place) the excess acetyl chloride is distilled off, and by application of a vacuum care i8 taken to achieve as complete as possible removal of the acetyl chloride. ~ ;
:. ;.
The residue obtained is then mixed with 1.5 to 5 mol of thionyl chloride per mol of acid used and the mixture obtained is refluxed. After the acid chloride formation has taken place, the thionyl chloride is removed as completely as possible in the same ~ ;-way as previously the acetyl chloride and the residue obtained is dissolved in a dialkyl ether with 4 to 8 carbon atoms. As dialkyl ether, for example, diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, dibutyl ether or especially methyl-tert.-butyl ether are suitable. ;~
.:,', :~ ' ' .

~ ~ ~ o 2~27~
The ethereal solution of the acid chloride is then introduced proportionately in an aqueous solution, preferably stirred and optionally mixed with the same ether, cooled to 0C
to 10C, of preferably 2 to 5 mol of amine per mol of acid used, so that the reaction temperature does not exceed 10C. Then the reaction mixture i8 allowed to stand for 20-60 minutes at room -~
temperature for completion of the reaction and it is mixed with - -;~
an excess of aqueous or aqueous/alcoholic sodium hydroxide solution and stirred for 20-60 minutes at room temperature.
The working up of the reaction mixture takes place in the usual way, by, for example, the organic phase being separated, washed, concentrated by evaporation and the residue being purified by recrystallization.
The following embodiments serve to further explain the process according to the invention.
