Reaction Steps

A solution of 3.6 g (7.27 mmol) of 4-benzyl-2-(S)-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyloxy)-3-(R)-phenylmorpholine in 100 mL of ethanol and 5 mL of water, containing 0.72 g of 10% Pd/C was hydrogenated on a Parr apparatus for 36 h. The catalyst was filtered and thoroughly washed with EtOAc. The filtrate was concentrated and the residue was partitioned between water and EtOAc. The EtOAc layer was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography using a gradient of 10-60% EtOAc/hexane to isolate 2.05 g (70%) of 2-(S)-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyloxy)-3-(R)-phenylmorpholine. 1H NMR (CDCl3) 1.92 (br s, 1H), 2.91 (m, 1H), 3.05 (td, J=11 Hz and 3 Hz, 1H), 3.68 (d, J=7 Hz, 1H), 3.81 (td, J=11 Hz and 3 Hz, 1H), 4.01 (m, 1H), 4.44 (d, J=7 Hz), 4.5 (d, J=13 Hz, 1H), 4.85 (d, J=13 Hz, 1 H), 7.28-7.42 (m, 7H), 7.67 (s, 1H).
