16. The reaction of epoxide 19 with ammonia resulted in a mixture of mono-, bis-, and tris(2-hydroxyhex-1-yl)amines; benzylamine and 19 led to a 1:1 mixture of the mono- and bis(2-hydroxyhex-1-yl)benzylamines.

18. The condensation of 21 and 23 in the presence of diisopropyl carbodimide instead of DCC gave a lower yield of the amide 25.
19. The direct condensation between the ester 22 and alcohol 21 gave a moderate yield (51%) of 25. 2-Hydroxypyridine catalyses this reaction; in a side reaction also 5% of the 1-amino-hex-2-enyl-estar was formed.
