Reaction Steps

To a suspension of the (2S,3R)-3-hydroxy-N-methyl-2-(naphthalen-2-yl)-3-phenylpropan-1-amine.HCl (48.6 mg, 0.167 mmol) in 2 mL of DCM was added neat diethylaminosulfur trifluoride (0.073 mL, 0.67 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h at room temperature. Water (10 mL) was added very cautiously (exothermic reaction), and the aqueous reaction mixture was filtered through 0.45μ Teflon filters. The pure product was isolated by reverse phase HPLC (Vydac 2.2×25 cm, C-8, elution with a gradient of 10% B-100% B in 90 min, B=80% aq. CH3CN with 0.1% TFA, A=H2O with 0.1% TFA); FR=8 mL/min; λmax=254 nm; RT==48.5 min). Evaporation of the solvent from product containing HPLC fractions furnished the product as a gummy residue that turned into a white solid after conversion to a hydrochloride salt and drying under high vacuum. Yield 8.9 mg, 18.2%.
