In a similar fashion an equal molar amount of 4-(3-trifluoromethoxyphenyl)-2-butanone, (R)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethylamine and 1.25 equivalents titanium(IV) isopropoxide were mixed and the intermediate imine reduced with ethanolic sodium cyanoborohydride. Work-up and repetitive preparative thin-layer chromatography using 5% methanol in chloroform afforded (S,R)-N-[4-(3-trifluoromethoxyphenyl)-2-butyl]-1-(1-naphthyl)ethylamine, 22X; m/z (rel. int.) 387 (M+, 3), 372 (15), 198 (15), 176 (12), 155 (100), 128 (8), 115 (6), 109 (4), 103 (5), 77 (8) and (R,R)-N-[4-(3-trifluoromethoxyphenyl)-2-butyl]-1-(1-naphthyl)ethylamine, 22Y; m/z (rel. int.) 387 (M+, 2), 372 (12), 198 (16), 176 (11), 155 (100), 128 (8), 115 (6), 109 (4), 103 (5), 77 (8).
