Reaction Steps

Dibenzylamine (39.4 g, 0.20 mol) and ferric chloride (12.6 g. 0.30 mol) were added to 100 mL of acetonitrile. The mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 30 minutes. (S)-epichlorohydrin (18.6 g, 0.2 mol) was then added and stirred at 60° C. for 8 hours. Filtered and the solvent was evaporated to provide 55 g of colorless oil in 94% yield. HPLC: 98%.
