Participants

Reaction Steps

To a degassed solution of 3-[2-(4-trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy-phenyl)-morpholin-4-yl]-propionic acid tert-butyl ester (2.55 g; 5.80 mmol) in toluene (50 mL) was added Pd2 dba3 (0.27 g; 0.29 mmol) and (2R)-1-[(1R)-1-[bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)phosphino]-ethyl]-2-(dicyclohexylphosphino)ferrocene (0.32 g; 0.58 mmol), followed, after 5 min. by, potassium thioacetate (1.33 g; 11.6 mmol). The resulting mixture was heated under reflux overnight. After cooling to RT the mixture was diluted with CH2Cl2, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography (SiO2, CH2Cl2/acetone 95:5) to afford 3-[2-(4-Acetylsulfanyl-phenyl)-morpholin-4-yl]-propionic acid tert-butyl ester (1.70 g)
