Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of tert-butyl (R)-2-(4-aminophenyl)morpholine-4-carboxylate (3.2 g, CAS 1260220-42-5) in DMF (25 ml) was added NBS (2.05 g) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. The reaction mixture was then poured into EtOAc and extracted sequentially with water and with saturated brine. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4 and then concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography (SiO2, gradient: 0% to 70% EtOAc in heptanes) to give tert-butyl (R)-2-(4-amino-3-bromophenyl)morpholine-4-carboxylate (3.71 g, 90%) as an off-white solid. MS (ISP): 359.1 ([{81Br}M+H]+), 357.0 ([{79Br}M+H]+), 303.0 ([{81Br}M+H—C4H8]+), 301.0 ([{79Br}M+H—C4H8]+).
