Reaction Steps

(S)-1-Methyl-3-phenylpropanamine hydrochloride was prepared by first esterifying N-(tert-butyloxycarbonyl)-L-alanine with diazomethane, then reducing the resulting N-(tert-butyloxycarbonyl)-L-alanine methyl ester with diisobutylaluminum hydride, then condensing the resulting N-(tert -butyloxycarbonyl)-L-alaninal with benzylidenetriphenylphosphonium ylide, then hydrogenating over palladium catalyst the resulting [S-(E)]-N-(tert-butyloxycarbonyl)-1-methyl-3-phenyl-2-propenamine having m.r. 86°-88° C. and [α]D25 (c=1, methanol) -50.9°, and finally deprotecting with hydrogen chloride in dioxane the resulting (S)-N-(tert-butyloxycarbonyl)-1-methyl-3-phenylpropanamine having m.r. 78°-80° C. and [α]D25 -7.1° (c=1, methanol). ##STR13##
