Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of morpholine (4.08 g) and tert-butyl 4-oxocyclohexylcarbamate (10 g) stirred for 24 hours at room temperature in titanium (IV) isopropoxide (27.5 mL), methanol (10 mL) was added followed by careful addition of sodium borohydride (3.55 g). The reaction mixture was quenched with water/NaOH solution, extracted with ether, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated. The product was separated from the trans isomer and purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, 50%-100% acetone in hexanes) to provide the title compound.
