Dimethyl Sulfoxide → HCID 86628537, compound

A 1.00 g portion of DMSO was dissolved in 10 ml of dichloromethane, and 0.56 ml of oxalyl chloride was added thereto while keeping the internal temperature at −60° C. or less. After 30 minutes of stirring, a dichloromethane (10 ml) solution of 581 mg of [(3S,4R)-4-phenyl-1-(trifluoroacetyl)pyrrolidin-3-yl]methanol which had been obtained from (3S,4R)-3-({[tert-butyl(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}methyl)-4-phenyl-1-(trifluoroacetyl)pyrrolidine in the same manner as in Reference Example 3 was added thereto while keeping the internal temperature at −60° C. or less and stirred for 45 minutes. A 2.70 ml portion of triethylamine was added to the reaction solution while keeping the internal temperature at −60° C. or less, the internal temperature was allowed to warm to 0° C. over 30 minutes or more, and this was further stirred at 0° C. for 60 minutes. Under ice-cooling, the reaction solution was mixed with water to quench the reaction, extracted with chloroform and dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate. By concentrating under a reduced pressure, (3S,4R)-4-phenyl-1-(trifluoroacetyl)pyrrolidine-3-carboaldehyde was obtained as a crude product. A 1.35 g portion of sodium triacetoxyborohydride was added at room temperature to a mixture of the thus obtained crude product, 365 mg of (R)-(+)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethylamine, a catalytically effective amount of acetic acid and 20 ml of 1,2-dichloroethane, and stirred at room temperature for 14Hours. The reaction solution was washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution until it became neutral, and the combined washing solution was extracted with chloroform. The organic layer was dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under a reduced pressure. The thus obtained residue was purified by a silica gel column chromatography (chloroform-ethyl acetate) to obtain 886 mg of (1R)-1-(1-naphthyl)-N-{[(3R,4R)-4-phenyl-1-(trifluoroacetyl)pyridin-3-yl]methyl}ethanamine as a colorless oily substance. EP: 427.
