Morpholine → HCID 69944285, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.39 ml of morpholine and 0.05 g of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) were added to a stirred solution of 0.15 g of methyl 3(R)-(allyloxycarbonyl)-2(S)-benzyloxy-5-methylhexanoate in 5 ml of tetrahydrofuran under a nitrogen atmosphere. After stirring the mixture for 0.5 hour the solvent was evaporated. The residue was dissolved in dichloromethane and washed in succession with 2M aqueous hydrochloric acid and water. The organic phase was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulphate and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was dissolved in diethyl ether and filtered. The diethyl ether solution was evaporated to give 0.16 g of methyl 3(R)-carboxy-2(S)-benzyloxy-5-methylhexanoate in the form of a yellow oil.
