Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-Methyl-N-(4-((2S)-4-((1R)-1-phenylethyl)morpholin-2-yl)-phenyl)pyridin-2-amine (0.57 g, 1.5 mmol) and ammonium formate (0.48 g, 7.6 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (15 ml)-methanol (30 ml)-water (16 ml) was added 10% palladium on carbon (wet, 200 mg) and stirred at 95° C. for one hour. After filtration, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was partitioned between water and dichloromethane. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and the solvent was concentrated under reduced pressure to give N-Methyl-N-(4-((2S)-morpholin-2-yl)phenyl)pyridin-2-amine (0.38 g, 94%) as a yellow oil.
