Reaction Steps

A 300-ml flask containing a solution of (S)-2-(4-(N-cyclohexyl-N-methylamino)phenyl)-4-((R)-1-phenylethyl)morpholine (7.27 g, 19.07 mmol) and 10% palladium on carbon (3.0 g) in ethanol (30 ml) was charged with hydrogen. The reaction mixture was stirred vigorously at 50° C. for 10 hours. The catalyst was filtered off with a Celite pad, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to yield (2S)-2-(4-(N-cyclohexyl-N-methylamino)phenyl)morpholine (4.95 g, 95%) as a clear oil.
