Reaction Steps

The crude (1S,2R)-2-amino-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid methyl ester (4.97 mmol) was dissolved in methanol (15 mL) at 25° C. and 4-fluorobenzaldehyde (0.533 mL, 4.97 mmol), glacial acetic acid (1 mL) and sodium cyanoborohydride (0.781 g, 12.4 mmol) were added sequentially. The reaction mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 19 h, and then was partitioned between saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (150 mL) and ethyl acetate (2×150 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate, decanted, and were concentrated in vacuo to afford the crude product, (1S,2R)-2-(4-fluoro-benzylamino)-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid methyl ester as a yellow oil, which was used directly in the next step without further purification.
