Procedure

(R)-3-(N,N-Dibenzylamino)-8-fluoro-5-methoxy-3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyran (13.0 g, 34.4 mmol) was dissolved in 265 mL methanol and 115 mL THF. To this was 10% Pd/C (4 g) and ammonium formate (51.5 g, 0.817 mol) added. The reaction was heated to 50° C. for 2.5 h. The reaction was filtered and the solvent was removed in vacuo, the remains were taken into a 2M solution of NaOH and then extracted twice with ether. The combined ether portions were treated with brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and the solvent removed in vacuo to give 6.2 g (91% yield) of the title compound as a clear oil. [α]21D =-15.3° (C=1, CHCl3). GC-MS (70 eV) M=197 (51%).
