Reaction Steps

45 g (328.0 mmol) of rac-2-amino-2-phenylethanol and 8.24 g (32.8 mmol) of pyridinium p-toluolsulphonate were added to 55.13 g (492.0 mmol) of 1,1,1-trifluoroacetone in toluene (1.35 l). The reaction mixture was boiled under reflux on a water separator for 16 h. The mixture was cooled to 0° C. and the solid formed was filtered off and dried under high vacuum. This gave 68.6 g (77% of theory, purity 85%) of the target compound.
