Reaction Steps

To a solution of N2,N2-dimethyl-N1-{4-[(2S)-4-((1R)-1-phenylethyl)morpholin-2-yl]phenyl}glycinamide (0.91 g, 2.5 mmol) and ammonium formate (0.79 g, 12.5 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (20 ml), methanol (40 ml) and water (7 ml) was added 10% palladium on carbon (wet, 300 mg) and the mixture was stirred at 95° C. for 3 hours. After filtration, the solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was partitioned between water and dichloromethane. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to give N2,N2-dimethyl-N1-{4-[(2S)-morpholin-2-yl]phenyl}glycinamide (0.63 g, 96%) a colorless oil.
