In a similar fashion an equal molar amount of 4-phenyl-2-butanone (Aldrich Chemical Co.), (R)-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)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 (R,R)-N-(4-phenyl-2-butyl)-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)ethylamine, 21D [m/z (rel. int.) 283 (M+, 4), 268 (13), 178 (45), 135 (100), 105 (15), 91 (43), 77 (11)] and (S,R)- N-(4-pbenyl-2-butyl)-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)ethylamine, 21E.
