Reaction Steps

Under the conditions outlined in Example 14a, 76.2 g of the amine was reacted with 74.2 g of (S)-mandelic acid in the presence of 105.2 g of 1.3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and 78.4 g of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole in 1 L of dimethylformamide. A similar workup furnished 109 g of [S-(S*,S*)]-alpha-hydroxy-N-[1-methyl-4-(3-pyridinyl)butyl]benzeneacetamide, mp 143°-145° C., [α]D25 +27.8° (c, 1.0, MeOH).
