Reaktionsschritte

A 15 mL screw top test tube fitted with a PTFE septum cap was purged with argon before addition of CuI (5.0 mg, 0.026 mmol, 2.6 mol %), NaOH (83.0 mg, 2.08 mmol) and rac-2-amino-1-cyclohexanol HCl (158 mg, 1.04 mmol). Iodobenzene (139 μL, 1.25 mmol), dimethyl sulfoxide (670 μL), and a stock solution of 9.45 M NaOH (330 μL, 3.12 mmol) were added, via syringe, under argon. The septum cap was replaced with a solid, Teflon-lined cap and the reaction was stirred magnetically at 90° C. for 48 h. The resulting homogeneous solution was allowed to cool before dilution with 10 mL brine. The reaction mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel and extracted with diethyl ether (3×10 mL). The organic extracts were washed with 3 M HCl (3×10 mL). The acid extracts were then cooled in an ice bath and the solution was basified using a saturated NaOH solution. When the pH of the solution became basic, as indicated by pH paper, the solution became opaque. The mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel and extracted with methylene chloride (3×10 mL). The organic extract was washed with brine, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated. A pale yellow oil was obtained and placed under high vacuum overnight. While under vacuum the oil solidified to give 182.5 mg (92% yield) of an off-white solid, mp 57–58° C.
