Reaction Steps

To a solution of (S)-(+)-2-aminopropan-1-ol (50.0 g) and benzaldehyde (74 ml) in ethanol (500 ml) was added 5% palladium carbon (5.0 g), and the mixture was hydrogenated at room temperature under ordinary pressure for 8 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered through Celite, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the titled compound (111.2 g).
