Participants

Reaction Steps

In a 50 mL round-bottomed flask, 2-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)morpholine hydrochloride (515 mg, 1.92 mmol) and DIPEA (249 mg, 336 μl, 1.92 mmol) were combined with acetonitrile (10 ml) to give a white suspension. (S)-2-(trifluoromethyl)oxirane (323 mg, 2.89 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 days and then was concentrated in vacuo. The reaction mixture was taken up in 100 mL dilute aqueous NaHCO3 and extracted with dichloromethane (3×50 mL). The organic layers were dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo to afford 528 mg (80%) of (2S)-1,1,1-trifluoro-3-(2-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)morpholino)propan-2-ol, which was used as is in the next step. (M+H)+=344 m/e.
