Reaction Steps

175.3 g (1 mol) of ethyl thiomorpholine-3-carboxylate are dissolved in 1000 ml of abs. THF, 140 ml (1 mol) of triethylamine are added and 198.5 g (1 mol) of mesitylene acetyl chloride are added dropwise at 0° to 10° C. The mixture is subsequently stirred at room temperature for a further 1 h and poured into 4.5 1 of ice water and 500 ml of 1 N HCl, and a flocculant, strongly water-containing product is filtered off with suction, taken up in methylene chloride, dried using MgSO4 and concentrated on a rotary evaporator. In this manner, 317.2 g (=94.7% of theory) of ethyl N-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl-acetyl)-thiomorpholine-3-carboxylate are obtained as a pale yellow oil.
