Participants

Reaction Steps

(1S,2S)-2-Benzyloxycarbonylamino-3-morpholino-1-phenyl-1-propanol (3.82 g, 10.3 mmol) was dissolved in methanol (10 ml), ammonium formate (2.6 g, 41.3 mmol) and 10% palladium-carbon (888.5 mg, 8.09 mol %) were added thereto, and the mixture thus obtained was stirred overnight at room temperature. After confirming completion of the reaction with TLC (chloroform:methanol=9:1 and 7:3), palladium-carbon was removed by filtration and the resulting filtrate was concentrated to obtain the objective compound as a colorless oily material (2.34 g, yield: 99.0%).
