Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-benzylamino-2-hydroxy-3-(2-methoxy-phenoxy)-3-phenyl-propylamine (3.5 g) in CH2Cl2 (60 ml), NaOH (0.6 g) and water (16 ml) were added at 0° C. The whole was cooled to -50° C. and chloroacetyl chloride (1.1 ml) diluted in CH2Cl2 (10 ml) was added dropwise. The organic extracts were combined and washed with a saturated solution of NaCl, drying was carried out over Na2SO4 and the solution was then evaporated to dryness, so obtaining N-benzyl-N-chloroacetyl-2-hydroxy-3-(2-methoxy-phenoxy)-3-phenylpropylamine (4.0 g; yield 93%) as an oil, chromatographically pure, which is used as such.
