Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of (2S,5S)-4-benzyl-2-methoxymethyl-5-methylmorpholine (0.86 g) in a mixture of concentrated hydrochloric acid (0.31 ml) and methanol (8.6 ml) was hydrogenated over 10% palladium-carbon (50% wet, 0.2 g) at room temperature under atmospheric pressure for 3 hours. After removal of the catalyst by filtration through Celite®, the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give (2S,5S)-2-methoxymethyl-5-methylmorpholine hydrochloride (0.71 g) as an oil.
