Reaction Steps

In accordance with the techniques of “Journal of Organic Chemistry”, 2001, vol. 66, p. 1403-1412, a mixture of 215 mg of tert-butyl [(1R)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethyl][(4-phenylpyrrolidin-3-yl)methyl]carbamate, 113 mg of chlorobenzene and 3 ml of toluene was mixed with 231 mg of potassium tert-butoxide and heated at 135° C. for 36 hours in a sealed tube. The organic layer was washed with 1 M hydrochloric acid, and 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-methanol) to obtain 85 mg of tert-butyl [(1,4-diphenylpyrrolidin-3-yl)methyl][(1R)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethyl]carbamate as a colorless oily substance. The thus obtained compound was dissolved in 2 ml of ethyl acetate, mixed with 1 ml of 4 M hydrogen chloride/ethyl acetate and stirred at room temperature for 6 hours. The reaction solution was concentrated under a reduced pressure, and the thus precipitated solid was collected by filtration to obtain 30 mg of (1R)—N-[(1,4-diphenylpyrrolidin-3-yl)methyl]-1-(1-naphthyl)ethanamine dichloride as a purple solid.
