Procedure

A mixture of 1.20 g (3.53 mmol) of (7SR,8aSR)-7-(4-fluorophenoxy)methyl-2-phenylmethyl-1,2,3,4,6,7,8,8a-octahydro-pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine (Preparation 2), 30 mL of methanol and 2.5 mL of 5.0 M ammonium formate was treated with an aqueous slurry of 0.15 g of 10% palladium on carbon. The mixture was heated at reflux for 48 hours, cooled to ambient temperature, filtered through Celite, and the filtrate was evaporated. The residue was taken up in dilute aqueous ammonium hydroxide and extracted with chloroform (3×). The combined organic phase was dried (magnesium sulfate), filtered and evaporated to give 0.874 g (99%) of the title compound. 13C NMR (CDCl3): δ 32.0, 34.5, 45.2, 50.9, 53.4, 57.0, 63.7, 72.6, 115.4, 115.5, 115.8, 155.1, 155.6, 158.7. HRMS calc'd for C14H20FN2O (MH+): 251.156, found: 251.155.
