Potassium sodium tartarate → HCID 20517506, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

The crude 6-ethyl-6-(3-methoxyphenyl)-2-methyl-3-morpholinone was added in ether to a cooled suspension of lithium aluminium hydride (12 g) in ether and then refluxed for 6 h. A solution of potassium sodium tartrate (132 g) in water (300 ml) was slowly added to the cooled suspension. The ether layer was washed and dried giving the title compound as a yellow oil (12.3 g). Both this and the parent morpholinone were mixtures of equal proportions of diastereoisomers in >95% purity.
