Ethanol hydrochloride → (1RS,2RS)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-hydroxy-3-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-propylamine hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1,1-dimethylethyl (1RS,2SR)-2-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-hydroxy-1-((4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)methyl)ethylcarbamate (2.58 g, 6.24 mmol) in ethanol (35 ml) was. added 20% hydrogen chloride ethanol solution (35 ml) and the mixture was heated under reflux for 30 min. The reaction solution was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was washed with diethyl ether. to give (1RS,2SR)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-hydroxy-3-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-propylamine hydrochloride (2.05 g, 94%).
