Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (2S)-2-[N-benzyl-N-[(2R)-2-(3-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxyethyl]amino]-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-1-propanol (5.33 g) in a mixed solvent of methanol (50 ml) and chlorobenzene (50 ml) was added 10% palladium on activated carbon (50% wet, 1.00 g) and the mixture was hydrogenated at 1 atm for 2 hours. The catalyst was filtered off and washed with methanol. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give (2S)-3-(4-aminophenyl)-2-[[(2R)-2-(3-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxyethyl]amino]-1-propanol dihydrochloride (4.95 g) as a pale yellow solid.
